Boulder

This post is intended to simply post some articles written by other great organizations on the topic of why we should support local. Very soon, we'll have our points on the matter and will also include bulleted points to be seen around the www.metroseen.com site.

Basta! Wow!

Boulder may not make it to the top of the list of most romantic cities in the world, (We wouldn't even try to compare the Boulder Creek Path to the canals in Venezia) but still... something's in the air here. There’s a buzz in town, and in recent years Boulder has grown a little more sophisticated. There's more appreciation for the arts, for cuisine and for theatre than there used to be, and there's even been a slight decrease in super-casual attire in trade for a new appreciation for dressing up.

How To Spend A Weekend in Boulder, CO – Guided by Locals
by Mark and Zoe Montalbano

I always love a reason to go to Boulder's downtown, and it's also a special treat to take a visit to Savory Spice Shop. Another love of mine, as well as for most humans, is to hear about special things that people do for others. So, last week when I found myself purchasing Ceylon Cinnamon at the Boulder Savory Spice Shop, I got a three for one deal.

I loved that Colorado Daily wrote this article about some of the best places to hike in the winter. So much so that I wanted to spread their message (I hope they don't mind)!

I'll add, that along with the famous Sanitas trail off of Mapleton (which we love as a family!), one of our favorite areas is around and in between the Eagle Trail and Boulder Rez areas (close to Haystack Mountain)... the Eagle/Sage/Lefthand Trails - more of that below the Colorado Daily article.

We at metrosen have looked high and low so we could compile a simple list of New Year's Eve events - based on other lists and seeming popularity (via tweets). Mostly, we stuck to just Boulder events, though I had to mention Nissi's - one of my favs just outside of Boulder. Please feel free to add to the list in the comments section or you may contact me at mark (at) metroseen.com or my twitter account @metroseen

ENJOY AND BE SAFE TONIGHT!

We thought this would be a fun thing to do!

We're doin somethin different here at Metroseen! Send me (mark @ metroseen.com) what you think was the top HAPPY news out of Boulder in 09. We get enuff of the negative stuff. In an ongoing effort to show the world that life is what you make it and that there's good all around us, I would like to present Metro+news... the "+" symbolizing "positive" of course. So, send 'em in or tweet them to @metroseen or even signup and make comments to this blog.
