Why no huge mountainside “B” here as it seems to be a western thing?
I remember when I first moved out here, two things felt quintessentially Western to me: seeing huge letters on the hillsides and seeing town signs list elevation instead of population.
That got me thinking—where is the big hillside 'B' for Boulder? Did CU or the city ever have one, or did conservation and open space rules prevent it?
I am not clamoring for a silly letter just asking a question.
The nearby classics: The tradition is alive in neighboring Front Range college towns—Golden has the "M" on Mount Zion (Mines, 1908), and Fort Collins has the "A" on the hillside near Horsetooth Reservoir (CSU Aggies, 1923).
