Why Boulder Quietly Walked Away From Sugar

Boulder didn’t make a big announcement about sugar. There were no dramatic headlines or loud campaigns. Instead, something quieter happened. Over time, menus shifted, habits evolved, and the culture simply moved in a different direction. Today, if you look around Boulder — from neighborhood c…

Boulder didn’t make a big announcement about sugar. There were no dramatic headlines or loud campaigns. Instead, something quieter happened. Over time, menus shifted, habits evolved, and the culture simply moved in a different direction. Today, if you look around Boulder — from neighborhood cafés to trailhead snack bags — the change is obvious. Sugary sodas feel out of place. Heavy desserts feel occasional. What replaced them says a lot about who Boulder is now. A Lifestyle Built Around Energy Boulder has always moved differently than most cities. Mornings start early here, often b…

Boulder’s Fuchsia Is A Reminder That Spring Is Near!

Some Boulder plants are indoor grows and should not be ignored. The fuchsia is a great example! Our indoor plants are reacting, I think, to the length of the days, with the indoor temps high enough for them to  thrive.  Boulder gardeners know that our climate can be both a blessing and a …

Some Boulder plants are indoor grows and should not be ignored. The fuchsia is a great example! Our indoor plants are reacting, I think, to the length of the days, with the indoor temps high enough for them to  thrive.  Boulder gardeners know that our climate can be both a blessing and a challenge. Bright sun, dry air, and sudden temperature swings make outdoor gardening exciting, but they can also make delicate plants a little nervous. That’s where growing fuchsia indoors becomes a wonderful solution. Fuchsias are famous for their elegant hanging blossoms that look almost like t…

Boulder’s #1 Dog Hike? Locals Say This Trail Is Pure Joy for Pups

Few places celebrate dogs quite like Boulder, Colorado. On any given day, you’ll see wagging tails along trails, splashing paws in creeks, and smiling locals soaking up the simple joy of being outside with their best friend. But ask longtime residents where dogs look happiest, and one trail rises above the rest: Bobolink Trail. Recently, one Boulder family reminded us why. A young boy and his dog set out together along the winding path, surrounded by open skies, golden grasses, and the peaceful rhythm of South Boulder Creek. Watching them move down the trail side by side said everything a…

The Boulder Before Boulder

My grandma laughs when she describes the Boulder she arrived in. There were things she and my grandpa Joe were used to buying back East: prosciutto, certain groceries, little luxuries that simply didn't exist here. There weren't many restaurants.

My grandma laughs when she describes the Boulder she arrived in. There were things she and my grandpa Joe were used to buying back East: prosciutto, certain groceries, little luxuries that simply didn't exist here. There weren't many restaurants. The only place you could get liquor was outside the city, and if you brought it into town it had to be in a brown bag. Pearl Street had a hardware store. There were horse ranges not far from downtown. They arrived at the end of December 1961 with two babies: my aunt Becky and my dad, Sean, who was two months old. Boulder still felt rural, a county b…

Why Nights in Boulder Feel Different

There’s a moment each night in Boulder when the town quietly changes its tone. The traffic thins. The sidewalks empty. Conversations soften. What was busy just an hour ago becomes calm, almost meditative. Boulder doesn’t shut down at night — it settles. And for the people who live here, that difference is something you feel, not just notice. Quiet Streets That Invite Reflection As evening takes hold, Boulder’s streets seem to exhale. Pearl Street grows quieter. Neighborhoods dim into pools of warm porch lights and stillness. The energy that powers the daytime — the schedules,…

Early light arrived gently over Boulder this morning, and near Bear Peak the day began with a calm that felt steady and unforced. Before the sun fully rose, the sky already carried a quiet promise — deep Colorado blue spreading across the horizon while soft morning clouds drifted slowly above the Flatirons. As the first sunlight reached the foothills, the Flatirons gradually shifted from cool shadow into warm gold. Their familiar sandstone faces caught the early light in a way that never loses its impact, glowing just long enough to remind you why Boulder mornings leave such a lasting imp…

On my bookshelf, alongside Terry Pratchett novels and movie-related tomes, sits Andrew Chaikin’s “A Man on the Moon.” His book is a history of the U.S. space program that digs into what it took for us to send human beings to the lunar surface and bring them safely home. It’s an outstanding piece of nonfiction writing* that I wholeheartedly recommend. It’s ironic, considering that I, a goober who could barely pass high school science classes, am fascinated so deeply by space travel. Part of it is the unexpected practical applications that affect our daily lives. If you like memory …
