Star Rating - 5/11/2007
Boulder's surrounded by suburban sprawl full of many midwestern transplants on all sides - just beyond the greenspace - except the very majestic Rocky Mountains and Flatirons to the west. It's full of sciency types, buddhist types, Richard Branson types, and lots of college students that seem to be mostly from the midwest and excited about the skiing and the party. Most of those people are white and relatively affluent. It looks like a Disney set. It's generally a pretty athletic crowd. It's organic or progressive ways are mainly in a Wholefoods kind of sense, it seems to me.
