Welcome to the Republic of Boulder!

by pilarzmom pilarzmom is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Hotels & Travel, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jan 13 '09
Pros: Lots of outdoor activities, interesting museums, and live performances
Cons: the traffic is like that of a big city
Before moving to Colorado, my Realtor tried to steer us away from Boulder, saying that this town known for its liberal politics was most suited for college students and their gray-haired aging hippy professors. Well, we didn't decide to settle there, but ...

Some of the worst city planning I have seen!!

by dakinemon , Jul 28 '02
Pros: Scenery, CU, Close to mountains
Cons: Expensive, traffic, parking, police are ticket happy
Let me first state that used to live in Denver but moved to Boulder as a student to attend CU. The city of Boulder has numerous problems with the city planning and management of the entire city, but is also a great place for anyone involved with the...

Excuse Me, Miss? Could You Get Us The Check if You Have a Moment Before Y3K?

by cornelia Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 06 '99
Pros: Wow! People in Boulder in Black
Cons: Wow! They're still asleep at the wheel
Dandelion’s is a grand venture that hasn’t quite come to terms with its own success. It’s an Eighties kind of place: noisy and frenetic with a matte black ceiling and retro lighting fixtures that look as though they’re made from waxed paper and melted...

Beyond Wheatgrass and Tofu.

by dchefsours , Jun 20 '00
Pros: You can eat for weeks and never duplicate your dining experience.
Cons: Could put a dent into your wallet...but there are alternatives.
The summer of 1993 brought me to Boulder. I had just spent the summer working at a ranch in Wyoming just over the border and generally, just feasting on what the west had to offer. It would not be long before my appetite for western fare; and vistas...

The good, the bad, and the weird

by rebeccad , May 17 '00
Pros: hiking and running heaven
Cons: expensive, expensive, expensive
I have to rise to the bait here, with such strong opinions being expressed about a town I'm rather fond of. So here's my take on a few issues, based on our experiences visiting on business for periods ranging from a week to 8 months.

In Boulder's Defense...

by fuzzbunny , Jan 16 '02
Pros: Very picturesque and well-kept. Plenty shopping and in a good location.
Cons: Didn't find any.
Living somewhere and visiting for a few days are totally different things, and I'd like to set the record straight. I hope this review will be helpful for those who wish to visit Boulder for a few days.

Boulder is a quaint city nestled...

Boulder - A little piece of heaven with Hippies attached

by martytdx Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 07 '00
Pros: Cultural diversity, great outdoor possibilities
Cons: no racial diversity, EXPENSIVE
I was going to write a quick little review of my favorite town in the world but then I saw CORNELIA's review and it changed the flavor of what I wanted to write. She brought up some valid points, but also forgot many of the great things that Boulder and ...

West End Tavern - Dinner with a View

by martytdx Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 11 '00
Pros: Great burgers, good drinks, AWESOME VIEW
Cons: slow seating at times
One of the best things about Boulder is the diversity of things that you can see and try, taste and drink. There are a ton of fantastic restaurants in town (Flagstaff House, Dandelion), a bevy of ethnic cuisine (Ras Kassa's (Ethiopian), Sawadee (Thai) an ...

The Peoples Republic of....WHAT?

by dchefsours , Jun 13 '00
Pros: Boulder is gorgeous, active, relaxed, cultural etc. etc. and still a small town , beneath all of that.
Cons: With over 300 days of sunshine a year and all of that other stuff, too many people want to live here.
It’s funny how the first time I heard this phrase "The Peoples Republic of Boulder" I had just moved to Colorado from the East Coast. I thought to myself, how odd. The assumption was, that perhaps Boulder wanted to be considered its own...

Around the World in 80 Minutes, with Unbleached Organic Cotton Re-Usable Grocery Bag

by epi , Nov 24 '99
Pros: You can get anything you want
Cons: You may have to beat off hundreds of malodorous lack-talent bongo-hammering white Rastafarian street people from Greenwich, Connecticut, to make it inside the stores.
Spend an afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, and you may ask a waiter to shoot you if you hear the phrase "wheat-free" one more time. In the eighteen months that I lived there, I learned to detest any mention of diets free of (pick one or all):...

Boulder: Best 4th of July

by Jettison , Jun 20 '00
Pros: Beauty, outdoor opportunities plenty, friendly safe community
Cons: cost of living is high, population is fairly liberal
The only thing I really knew about Boulder, CO, before I lived there for over a month was that all my magazine subscriptions seemed to be published there. The ironic thing about that is, while in Boulder there was not one moment that I wanted to spend...

Heaven for you and the SUV you rode in on

by Mr_Scrooby , Oct 07 '99
Pros: Comforts of affluence, natural wonder
Cons: Rich white pricks and their cell phones
Boulder's the perfect city: clean air, access to nature, lively arts.

A little too perfect: Since Mork left, it's become a playground for the wealthy.

Nowhere but Pearl St. will one see so much finery of the American West: fleece...

Boulder County Native

by atomikpunk1 , Aug 28 '00
Pros: Hippies are still there
Cons: Snobbism abounds
I have lived in Boulder County for 40 years with a close proximity to the City of Boulder. I have always tolerated Boulder and tell the out of towners that Boulder is 47 square miles surrounded by reality, or a Pseudo Intellectual Ghetto. It's a fun...

Invasion of the hippy-snatchers

by smh32775 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 11 '00
Pros: Beautiful scenery
Cons: Not alot of activites
I got the opportunity to visit Boulder in 1998. I was going out to visit a friend and was able to stay there for several weeks. If I had to name one thing that made the trip worthwhile, it would be the breathtaking view of the Rocky Mountains!
