There's no McDonald's in the nation's smallest state capital. There are three locally owned bookstores, but no Borders. Two video stores on Main Street, but no Blockbuster. Several places to get good coffee, but no Starbuck's.National chain stores have been slow to come to Montpelier because there isn't the population to support them, says Fred Wilber, owner of the Buch Spieler tape and record store just off Main Street.
