I know this conversation has gone on ad nauseam, but this kid on a mini-moto looks like he’s maybe 10 or 11 and was flying down Spine Rd and made a right on to Jay. He was traveling at least 35, passed a school bus on the right, which I was stuck behind, and made it to the Jay/Diagonal intersection before I could. I’ve never said this before, but I can’t wait for school to start..

As I watched you bike past the majestic beasts I felt as if I was watching a scene from Jurassic Park. 🎶🦕
Anybody else see this bear running around today around noon? Saw him on Folsom headed toward Canyon. Looked pretty frightened, felt bad for the guy!
What is protocol usually for this type of situation?
Grab your popcorn folks, it’s gonna get entertaining
There was a huge crown of bicyclists at Amante this morning, I've seen another large group at Gateway Park in the morning a couple of months ago. Is this a club or something???
Craving a good cheesesteak for lunch, any recommendations? I only come to Boulder to work at the office occasionally so not really familiar with places around here :)
ETA: Ended up going with Angelo's and it did not disappoint!
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).
If anyone knows a barber in the Boulder/Denver area that is good with fine Asian hair I would appreciate a recommendation. Just moved here.

Hi! I’m looking for a local OB/GYN and midwifery clinic near Longmont. I previously was going to UChealth Longs peak for my previous birth. I didn’t love going to such a large office with inconsistent care givers.
I’m looking for a smaller clinic that would be supportive of a future VBAC but still deliver in a hospital. I found “A Women’s place” in Fort Collins that sounded like exactly what I want, however, I don’t know if I’d like to drive that far. I’m not pregnant but would like to have an annual check up! Thanks in advance!
As someone who is relatively new to living in Denver and is big into running, I have been looking for some new spots to run. The I36 bikeway has my attention. Is it okay to run on it or is it purely for bike travel? If it is allowed for running, where is a good place to park to access it?
I’ve been banking with Wells Fargo since 2013 🤮
I’ve meant to switch for some time now, and now have a real reason to.
What are your fav local banks and credit unions? The pluses. The minuses.
Thanks!

I took a stroll to the Hill to remember the good days and grab a drink at the Sink with some friends yesterday. That place is filled with vacant tenants, its pretty sad. Seemed like there were some places potentially moving in but who knows how long they will last.
I read somewhere that the city was trying to move the Hill to attract more working professionals. which i mean the entirety of boulder cant even do that. i fear that trying to change the character of that commercial space is going to be devastating. it needs to cater to the people around it. if the city was not being so fucking ticket happy and enjoying the idea of shutting down businesses trying to survive cause they sold a beer to a 19 year old with a fake id, i think you would see spaces stay in business. let bars be open till, god forbid, 1am. inject some life into that strip.
otherwise you'll be looking at the CU Boulder Campus on the Hill in five years cause the owners can't keep a consistent stream of income and the school will offer above market $ to the property owners. all because this city couldn't get out of its own way trying to force change where it doesn't need to be.
I get Boulder isn't your typical college town. but you still have a college neighborhood at the very least. there is very little reason why you can't have it be successful other than your own legislation and decisions making it so.
If you don’t know what I’m referring to, please look back at my first post. To put it short, Jing Ramen at Boulder has been lying about their Vegan options, which could lead to serious allergies. Recently, they changed the name on the menu (left photo before VEGAN tonkatsu ramen, right is new. Says VEGGIE tonkatsu ramen). They shouldn’t have been lying about it before because it isn’t vegan at all, not even vegetarian since it contains pork.
I messaged one of the workers and they told me a lot of interesting things about the establishment. That tonkatsu “vegan” ramen that they had labeled is 100% not vegan, not even vegetarian. Pork is the SECOND ingredient in the soup base (which is a powder in a bag, not at all made in house.) I will list the ingredients here, but if you want the photo please ask me. The ex-staff member ask me not to post the photo.
Ingredients:
Water, Pork Extract with Rendered Pork Fat (Pork Extract, Rendered Pork Fat, Salt, Mixed Tocopherols), Salt, Sugar, Nonfat Dried Milk, Lard (Lard, BHT, BHA), Concentrated Pork Broth (Water, Pork Femur Bone, Pork Skinless Fatback), Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Wheat, Salt), Canola Oil, Monosodium Glutamate, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Safflower Oil, Food Starch Modified, Pork Extract (from bone) (Pork Extract, Salt), Natural Flavor Enhancer (Maltodextrin, Soy Sauce (Soybeans, Salt, Wheat), Salt, Yeast Extract), Pork Stock, Garlic Powder, Natural Vegetable Flavored Seasoning Powder (Maltodextrin, Chinese Cabbage Extract, Salt, Yeast Extract, Pork Flavor (Pork Stock, Flavor, Salt, Ginger Powder, Seeme Oil, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate, Black Pepper, Xanthan Gum, Disodium Succinate
Contains: Nik, Sesame, Soybean, Wheat
Part time workers aren’t told about how the vegan tonkatsu is made out of pork and are instructed to say that it is a creamy “vegetable “ broth. LYING TO THEIR OWN WORKERS.
NOTHING is made in house. Not the soups, not the appetizers. Maybe just the ice cream bowls as well as the regular bowls. But the soup is all packaged powdered soup base.
Almost all the 5-star reviews on Google are fake. I remember when going there and there was a sign on each table that says if you give them a 5-star review, they will give you a free appetizer. Pretty sure you can’t do that, and I’ll be sending a complaint later. That’s why their ratings are high even though they’re being dishonest.
Along with that, they boil everything in the same water, as well as fry everything is the same oil, so if you have celiac or just have sensitivities/allergies in general you might need to watch for that, since the GF noodles and regular noodles get boiled together. As well as the gyoza, since it contains egg.
After my complaint and to others complaints on Google reviews, they finally took it seriously and changed the menus online and I believe the physical menus. They changed “vegan” to “veggie” (what does that even mean?) and I doubt they will address it or stop lying.
Just be careful of this place if you have allergens or are religious, because they don’t seem like a truthful company.
I get you love your special hound, cat, bird, whatever. Not everyone is comfortable with them and, unless they perform a task (emotional support is not a task), then they are not allowed in a place people eat.
Please stop bringing these animals to restaurants.
Title: Two anti-trans ballot measures will appear on 2026 Colorado ballot
Body: Sharing this since it's likely going to be a big part of the November conversation locally. The piece from Colorado Newsline lays out both measures — 109 (sports) and 110 (gender-affirming surgical procedures for minors) — and notes that neither of Colorado's two major pediatric hospitals currently perform gender-affirming surgeries on minors. Worth a read before opinions start flying this fall. What are folks' initial thoughts?
Young adult who‘s trying to get back in dunking shape. Playing basketball is a big joy of mine, and I’m trying to dunk on a 10 by my birthday. A big part of it is the technique, how to hold the ball, etc.
Anybody know of a spot in Boulder with a stable basketball hoop that’s between 8.5 - 9.5 feet to practice some dunks on?
Does anyone know what happened here? They built the big stone retaining wall, dug a bunch, built half a condo and seemed to have stopped for the last 2 years?
Developer issue? City put a stop to it?
Every time I pass it on my bike I’ve thought about posting this and today I finally snapped a picture.
