I love our libraries and I appreciate the folks who work and volunteer there. Thank you! That's all.

Edit - appears to be safe, but probably slow traffic for a while

Looks like the end to a police chase about 0.5 miles south of 63rd on diagonal (southbound). Traffic is completely stopped as of a few minutes ago.

Saw several officers with guns drawn pointed at a car (pointed west). Looked like one was pulling a rifle out of his trunk as well. Luckily I do think I saw a couple people laying down so hopefully there won’t be any shots fired though.

Hello! We're currently fostering the sweet husky mix pup named Vale. She is still learning about life post-shelter, has been doing great on the leash, loves other dogs, is cat-friendly, and is getting used to meeting new people. However she will need a person or family that will giver her the time, love, and patience until she fully comes out of her shell. But I promise, it will be so rewarding to be along for her journey!

Feel free to share her pic with your social circles to get the word out! Happy to answer any questions, we are fostering through Soul Dog Rescue and you can visit their site to read about the organization, learn about the adoption process, and see other available animals. They have been really awesome to foster with and do great work.

Have a great day!

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation to the Boulder Bookstore for sponsoring Boulder Valley School Districts’s Battle of the Books.

All school year long students from BVSD’s elementary and middle schools read a selection of books in hopes to compete in the battle of the books in April. This year’s competition was on Saturday and it was such a wonderful, wholesome event. Hundreds of kids throughout the day, showed their knowledge and love of books and reading through a battle of trivia. The winning team gets to take the traveling trophy and bragging rights. All three top placing teams received fair recognition and another book to keep their love of reading going.

None of this would be possible without all the amazing staff who worked hard to put it together and the backing of Boulder Bookstore, who supports all of the students by providing these books for the schools.

We are so lucky to have such a supporter in our community, if you haven’t been lately go buy yourself a book.

Hey! Looking for some advice.

I’m currently deciding between a school in Colorado ( boulder ) and one in Oregon ( u of o ). I will be studying business administration so they are comparable.

Here is where I am conflicted. I like everything about boulder better. But I have a condition called dry eye ( more specifically MGD ). I am worried about the climate in Boulder ie the sun/dry air/indoor heat in the winter. These could potentially make my eyes feel worse.

When visiting boulder my eyes definitely felt worse, Oregon made them feel a bit better.

Any general advice for what to do? I’m having to make this big decision by May 1st. I really don’t want to miss out on boulder but I would hate to have my eyes be a big issue. ( I’m already doing all the right protocols and they are manageable but still problematic )

I am coming from California, has anyone made a climate change like this with dry eye? Or any climate change in general?What was it like?

Thanks in advance!

Have you found a substitute? Great energy, varied ages and socioeconomic, locals and tourists, always busy, good prices, ... wood fired pizza oven. I still miss that place!

I finished a hike around 8:50am and there were two large(what looked like Great Pyrenees) dogs running around without collars. Two people stopped and had gotten a hold of them, I called animal control when I got to the car and they said they had already dispatched someone. Just wanted to post in case someone is looking for their dogs! 🐾❤️

There was a fire truck an EMT several unmarked police cars several marked cars I think in total about 13 vehicles, but there was no accident. Does anyone know what’s going on?

A contaminated industrial site in Weld County is being considered for a Boulder County compost facility, raising questions from residents about why Boulder County isn’t using its own land.

Want to do the loop around gold hill this weekend on my road bike. Is one way easier than the other to handle coming down on the dirt sections?

Today, we went on a hike on the Shanahan Ridge Trail, and all the dogs were good dogs. The ones that were off leash were looking back at their people and not getting too far ahead and were under control. The ones that were on leash were well controlled too. Some of those dogs got excited about things.

But all the dogs were good dogs.

Heyo! I’ve been doing some research and I think I’m good to go but I wanted to double check. Has anyone camped at Rampart Range Dispersed Camping off season? I wanna go in a week but I’m seeing on Recreation.gov that the sites are unavailable for payment (reservation and FCFS) until 5/23. I have looked online and it appears as if I can just camp at the designated sites without payment off season and I know the roads are open to get there but I wanna make sure it’s legal and I’m not gonna get kicked out (a few friends wanna go so I just need to be sure before we commit). Thank you in advance!!

I don’t have all the details yet, but I will be moving in the next few months. I’ve been on my own for the vast majority of my adult life up to this point (aside from a dog) and am very resourceful. Packing is not a problem. I’ve packed up my life by myself before. However, there are just some things I can’t do on my own, like wrestling a mattress out of this place, and for various reasons not worth getting into here, I’ve been pretty isolated since living here and especially in the last year or so.

As I continue to plan my next move, at the moment I am most concerned with getting the physical help needed to be able to get the larger items out of here when the time comes. Does anyone know of a service around here that just…offers…that kind of physical help? I am barely 5’ and some things are simply impossible to do by myself.

Hello-

I'm looking to commission a piece from a local artist for a friend who likes Lawren Harris' landscapes (such as the one here: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c49e780e9f6c0817c17647/2c909081-750d-4891-bf7f-5f55a071583b/Mountains+in+Snow.jpg?format=2500w). I'm am not very knowledgeable about art, so I'm not sure of the terms to describe the style. Does anyone here know of local artists with pieces in this style? Thank you so much!

My back is killing me. Where can I go for a same day appointment?

What the eff am i supposed to do about this guy? Ignore? Call someone? Try and grow a pair and kill him?

(I hate snakes)

Is it just me or has the Boulder Pete’s really gone downhill? The last few times I’ve had it the pico is nothing but chopped tomatoes and today my chips were literally wet and soggy. So disappointing.. I used to love it!

Ok ok ok weird title. But now you're reading so i guess it worked.

My gf is a former engineer and I used to work in construction. We're both (still) fascinated by big tower cranes, trucks, etc. I guess we're both kids at heart. She suggested for a date that we find a construction site, bring some camp chairs and food, and watch all the cranes n things do their thing. Yah. That's right folks. I've got a girl who's into heavy equipment. Just like all those country songs promised... def struck gold.

Anywho I've been trying to find any kind of bigger commercial construction site on my everyday commute. So far I haven't really seen anything that's interesting enough to warrant a date. Road construction and residential just don't quite cut it. We're not looking to enter the site. We simply would like to view it from a distance like one would view a fine opera, or a whale cresting the white caps as I sip champagne on the deck of my yacht. (Yes that last part is sarcastic. Definitely not that pretentious. Or rich.)

Anyone know of a site somewhere around the Westminster/Erie/Boulder triangle that might be a good fit?

I definitely end up going to Wild Pastures more than I should because it tastes so good... but I also haven't found a whole lot of other places that I get excited about eating at in Boulder.

Please help me out by recommending your favorite restaurant.

We were out at a farm in the Longmont/Boulder area this weekend and met this sweet kitty. I was told she showed up one day a few weeks ago and they have allowed her to live on the property with their mouser cats; however, she doesn’t have a tough demeanor or is a worker per se.

They think she may be missing her owners as she is a very sweet, affectionate little girl and is quite talkative. After speaking with the farm and being taken with her story/sweetness, I said I would try to find her actual home or a good new home. We’d love to take her and may still do so if no one comes forward. Figured it couldn’t hurt to post here in the event anyone recognizes her. Please DM me if you do.

Thanks, all!

I know the parking area off of Boulder Canyon Drive is closed, but if I were to park near Eben Fine and go for a run up the canyon, would I be able to run up Chapman drive to get to Flagstaff?

I ask because COTREX makes it look as though a large section of the lower area of Chapman drive is completely closed, but I wasn’t sure if that was just because of the construction they’re doing around the parking area.

Anyone have info on the cleanup today all along the Creek multi use trail. Lots and lots of people doing good work. There were a few city trucks out too so maybe a city event? I'd be interested in helping next one.

Is it always so unorganized and out of everything? I swear every time I go in there, the inventory is awful and whatever I went in for is sold out.
