January 20th . . . Inaugration Day

The City of Boulder celebrates its Sesquicentennial Celebration this year. One hundred and fifty years ago, 1859, gold was discovered in the area (Gold Run), and the Boulder City Town Company was formed. The next year, 1860, Andrew J. Macky built the first frame building in Boulder on the N/E corner of 14th and Pearl . . . Boulder's "first" real estate development. A lot has happened since that time.

Today, Boulder is considered one of the most progressive, visionary, and environmentally conscientious locals in the country. The citizens of Boulder have given top priorities to the preservation of not only its environment but also its heritage. These priorities are just some of the reasons that make Boulder such a desirable place to live.

January 2009 continues to bring us warm weather . . . . sweater weather . . . . but we may see some snow toward the end of the week.
