Boulder Realtor Attends EcoBroker Conference
Today and tomorrow I’ll be attending the national Green Real Estate conference in Denver. I expect to have an opportunity to enhance the knowledge I’ve already gained through my EcoBroker certification and training that I completed last year. Here’s the highlight about the conference from the EcoBroker folks based in Evergreen, CO. Read more

If you would like to go to the game, please visit the pingg evite site and RSVP. Sorry for the late notice but we just got the tickets for tonight’s game a moment ago.
Broomfield PF Chang’s Gets Visit From Boulder Realtor
During a recent visit from my In-Laws, the family announced when I got home from work that everyone wanted to have dinner at PF Chang’s. Fortunately there’s one at the Flatiron Crossing Mall in Broomfield.
With my kids being huge fans of almost any Asian style food, PF Chang’s comes in second generally only to a Sushi bar. With the decision made, my easy task was to cart everyone over to the now almost abandoned Flatiron Marketplace. It’s strange to see so many vacancies in this very-pleasant extension of the Flatiron Crossing Mall. Read more
Lucile’s Still A Cajun Favorite In Boulder
It might seem strange that a great Cajun style restaurant would be found in Boulder, CO. Well, Lucile’s has been a formidable entity in the Boulder breakfast and lunch scene with its New Orleans emphasis for many years.
I had the opportunity to visit again after many months since my last meal at Lucille’s, and I think it’s still just as great as it ever was. I can tell you that I’ve always been underwhelmed by the ambiance and decor. It’s the same sort of run down and worn out feeling that it’s had since the very early 1980’s when I first visited.

Do Your Kids Bike To School?
I ran into an old acquaintance from many years ago up at C.U. Boulder while I was attending the 2008 Economic Conference. Leslie runs a company that specializes in targeted marketing called Catalyst but what’s always stuck with me is his devotion to bicycling. Of course he rode to the conference. He gave me a brochure on his freiker program. Read more
Boulder Restaurant: Kasa Japanese Grill
One of the Boulder Restaurants I’ve been wanting to try for the last 18 months or so since it opened is Kasa Japanese Grill. I finally got in there over the Memorial Day weekend with my family and it was a very pleasant surprise.
The food, service and atmosphere were terrific. Now that may sound a bit trite but for those of you who might not read past here, I wanted itto be clear that this is definitely a place I’ll go back to soon. Read more
Boulder Realtor Continues CERT Training
You might not know what CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training is, but this Boulder Realtor intends to be prepared for disaster incidents so that he can help the neighborhood. I found recently that FEMA funded some grants that give local civilians the opportunity to know how first responders such as fire fighters, police and other government agencies operate during an incident. Read more
Boulder Creek Festival This Weekend
Are you getting ready for the Boulder Creek festival?
It’s this weekend, and there are so many things to do in Downtown Boulder that are part of the Boulder Creek Festival. My kids have always enjoyed the children’s area with the 55 gallon drum railroad, the kayaking (in a pool) and all the other booths, food and fun. Read more
The Pic Nic
There is a pic-nic coming and you’re probably invited. If you don’t think you are, you are now! I just need you to RSVP. Check out the info for my Big Pic Nic Party 2008 to get the details and let me know you’re coming!

Side dish or two? Well, sure! Read more
Boulder Indoor Soccer Meets Cycling Counterpart
I just met with Rodrigo Garcia who is the owner and founder of Boulder Indoor Soccer. What a cool place!
The extent to which Rodrigo has thought through his facility and his business is remarkable and inspiring.
Rodrigo is by training a lawyer, but his passion for soccer led him to co-found Boulder Indoor Soccer in central Boulder in 2003. Read more
Boulder Realtor Makes Earth Day Run
Today is the day for the Earth Day 5k run / walk / expo.
It’s a benefit for the Center for ReSource Conservation and it’s also a qualifier for the Bolder Boulder 10k coming up at the end of May. I ran this 5k two years ago for the first time since I needed a qualifying time for my first Bolder Boulder. Read more
Photo Voltaic A Key to Eliminating Your Electricity Bill
So I picked up the phone and made a few calls recently about our upcoming neighborhood pic-nic and one of the people I talked to is a very sharp woman that I met many months ago.
The irony is that I’ve had lots of thoughts about alternative energy on my mind (who hasn’t?!) and when we started talking the conversation immediately moved to photo voltaic solar panels and other energy saving modifications to her home. She has some interesting ideas. Read more
Radda Restaurant Boulder Colorado
So I finally managed to get over to try out Radda up near Ideal Market for lunch. I’ve been hearing great things about the place and my brother and I had to talk some business so why not?
My first impression with Radda is that it’s a really nice update from the previous california-mexican style restaurant that used to be there. I wasn’t ever too excited about that one… Read more
Gelato Bacio in Downtown Boulder
Another nice day so I had to take a break and stroll downtown to stretch my legs.
Yeah, I know, supposed to be working. Actually I am! There were two meetings downtown so I figure since I’m already there, a quick walk up the west end would do me some good. Read more
Saxy’s Cafe In Downtown Boulder
So this place has been open for over a year and I just got there recently. Wow, there are new restaurants and coffee shops constantly opening up everywhere. It seems like every week there’s something new.
This place is really pretty cool and what I like about it most is that the coffee is darn good. It’s not burned and overheated like a lot of places around town that shall for now remain unnamed. Read more
Where’s The Beef Now That Toms Tavern Is Closed?
I found myself walking up the Pearl Street Mall in Downtown Boulder recently and mourning the passing once again of Tom Eldridge and Tom’s Tavern. As a favorite of locals for a great tavern-style hamburger and an affordable price, there was a huge turn-out on a very cold day a few weeks ago for the last day at Tom’s. Read more
Ruby’s Another Boulder Restaurant Burger Opportunity
While it’s no Toms Tavern, Ruby’s at Twenty Ninth Street, is another sort of ‘classic’ restaurant.
With a 1950’s era theme and all the eye candy trimmings to go with that, they do a pretty decent job of turning out a burger. There’s a little less of a feel that they’re geared towards the kids in the way that Red Robin does. I like that. Read more
Hapa Sushi A Favorite Downtown Boulder Restaurant
Got a chance to dine at Hapa Sushi again. It’s been way too long. This is a restaurant worth checking out, just ask my kids. Yep, I made the ‘mistake’ of introducing my kids to sushi and the Hapa menu just as soon as there were old enough and I’ve been paying for it ever since.
Today it was time to get Connie some new snow tires so I went over to Tires Inc where I’ve been buying tires since the very early 1980’s and while they did their thing to her Pathfinder, I took Con over to Hapa for a rare treat (these days) of Sushi lunch sans kids. Read more
Boulder’s Zolo Grill Still Offers Unique Experience
I just had the opportunity again to have lunch at Zolo Grill in Boulder with Jackie from Lather Salon and we had a great lunch with some unique tastes. I’ve always had a great dining experience and the service and food this time was top notch again. I also got the treat of having lunch with Nora Ziel from Cherry Creek Mortgage just a few days later…
With a combo of a small “cup” portion of the lobster bisque and the ‘half’ order of their Caesar salad they proved to me once again that what may seem like it could be normal or average turned out to be extraordinary. The Caesar had a mild but tasty zip to the dressing and even though I asked for extra, the lettuce wasn’t swimming in the Caesar dressing. Read more
Great Boulder Hiking: Anne U. White Trail
The Anne U. White hiking trail has been one of our family favorites for many years and it’s an easy route for most ages and abilities. It’s 1.5 miles one way and ends at an open field surrounded by forest.
Depending on the time of year and weather, you may find yourself happy to stop for a snack or lunch in the sunny field or in the middle of summer, or you may prefer the shade of the large trees near where the trail ends. We’ve found both delightful.
The trails crosses back and forth over the stream several times (23 times according to my daughter) Read more
Hip-Hop Hits Boulder Again
One studio leaves and another enters as Boulder’s hip hop dance scene hears the sucking sound of Motion Underground leaving the Boulder community for Denver digs being replaced by Streetside Studios.
The word I heard was that Motion Underground was relocating not only because its lease was up but Read more
Lafayette Oatmeal Run Excites Boulder Realtor
Since running in my first Bolder Boulder a few years ago, this Boulder Realtor ® has seen a number of various races in the uber-jock mecca of Boulder, CO. While I’ll never keep up with some of the elite athletes of our area, it’s a blast to have so many outdoor fitness and fun opportunities at my fingertips.
There was a race at the Boulder reservoir where everyone brought their dogs, Read more
Audi Dealership Opens Beautifully Updated Building
Implementing design inspired after the Munich Airport, the new Stammler Audi showroom boasts gleaming windows and a sparkling bright example of modern architecture blending metal and glass.
The centerpiece of Stammler’s new building focused on a wonderfully curved glass wall which he said he took from European architecture on a past trip across the Atlantic. Read more
National Park Plans To Kill Elk Herd
Rocky Mountain National Park has plans to use sharp-shooting snipers to reduce the population in the national park of elks in an attempt to balance the animal’s local population.
Sometime next month park officials expect to get approval for the plan. The plan includes killing up to 200 of the animals each year beginning in 2009. Read more
Boulder Realtor Reports on Upcoming Outdoor Activities
It can’t be all about real estate so I’m thinking this is a good time for this Boulder Realtor to give you a little heads up about a few things coming soon that might be worth your attention since you live and love the outdoor oriented Boulder lifestyle. Read more
Free Child Care at Flatiron Crossing Mall
From December 15 - 24, KidsTown Drop-In Child Care Centeres in Broomfiled will be providing free professional child care while you shot at Flatiron Crossing Mall.
I remember when my kids were smaller and we were pushing around one or sometimes even two strollers, juggling sippy cups and snacks.
Bikers Will No Longer Risk Lives Riding Boulder’s Diagonal Hwy.
For years bicyclists have risked their lives in certain parts of the route along the Longmont Diagonal Highway (also known as Hwy 119) as they had to merge into traffic lanes where the shoulder of the road disappeared. I’ve never liked riding on the roadway and have been more of a mountain bike fan myself.
However, as the road riding popularity has increased in the Boulder area (you think Lance had anything to do with that?) and scores of uber-jocks have planted roots here, the roads are full of riders. I think it’s wise and timely that improvements like this are being made.
Here’s the Boulder County Business Review Story: Read more
New Boulder Restaurant Helps
As a Boulder Realtor that finds himself entertaining clients and many out-of-town guests it’s great to have such a wonderful selection of restaurant choices.
A new Asian concept restaurant is scheduled to open hopefully by mid December. With a combo of Thai, Vietnamese and East Indian cuisines, Bimbamboo is going into a location near 17th and Pearl Street. The new Bimbamboo is said to be a prototype Read more
Antica Roma Restaurant; Pearl Street Favorite
I had an occasion to visit a local favorite restaurant: Trattoria Antica Roma. A Pearl Street favorite since 1991, Antica Roma has been a favorite of mine since our days of condo living in Downtown Boulder.
I remember days of secret late night runs in the rain (not really running of course, it was late and raining) to get a take-home order of their tiramisu. While they do a reasonable job of handling a ‘buffet’ for salads Read more
Boulder’s University of Colorado Gets An “A”
According to a recent article in the Boulder County Business Report, CU Boulder got an “A” for sustainability. The full post follows…The University of Colorado at Boulder was named one of the top 25 sustainable campuses in the nation by the Cambridge, Mass.-based Sustainable Endowments Institute.The University of Colorado system received an overall score of B-minus - the Boulder campus got straight A’s. The categories were: climate change and energy, administration, food and recycling, green building and transportation. CU-Boulder is the only school in the Big 12 Conference that made the top 25.

Boulder Casual Dining at Islands
To be honest, the first time I went to Islands at 29th Street in Boulder I was underwhelmed. While I still wouldn’t go out of my way to eat there, my meal today was much better than last time I checked it out.
I was over for lunch to cover a meeting with the manager of the Century Theater at 29th St. and Read more
Scout Conquers Another Milestone
While it’s a little bit of a drive, the somewhat remote area of the front range by Red Feather Lakes west of Fort Collins, Colorado is host to a great outdoor experience.
For the Boy Scouts, there’s a ranch owned by the BSA that has over 1000 acres of opportunity for boys to get some time in the outdoors. Read more
Marshal Mesa Trailhead Moved
In case you hadn’t noticed, the Marshall Mesa Trailhead parking moved west this year. I still see some people parking on the Marshall Road area although it’s getting better.
The new parking area is great actually and you don’t have to worry about getting run over by people speeding by on Marshall Road. We were confused Read more
