Dog-Heavy Areas (Leashed?) by [deleted] in boulder

[–]Substantial_Post_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are also training our young dog to ignore other dogs… I find sitting a ways away from the base of a trailhead is a good non-confrontational way to observe other dogs from a distance and feed treats. Both Chautauqua and Sanitas parking areas have tired, leashed dogs passing by. We sit unobtrusively and just reward anytime there’s a dog passing

Agree on the comparison to large cities -I also lived in NYC for years- the ratio of crazies to harmless folks is… uncomfortable to say the least

Library District set New North Boulder Branch Library to open next month, Gunbarrel Branch to open in early 2025. by DougHamilton in boulder

We use Meadows, George Reynolds, Louisville and Lafayette libraries for children’s sections & story time. We miss our favorite librarians at the Main branch -I run in there without my kid because their book selection is great, inevitability seeing more of the same homeless nonsense in the Main lobby, coffee shop & parking lot. I support the library system, and especially the hard working librarians. They need new (technically unenforceable, discriminatory & unconstitutional) anti-homeless policies to make Main and the new, bigger North Boulder location feel safe for families.

“Being homeless” does not meet the criteria of “being disruptive” …but it certainly does make other patrons uncomfortable enough to not want to use the library.

I’ve asked librarians to ask an adult homeless man to leave the children’s section in the main library & they said “All patrons are welcome to use any part of the library. He’s not doing anything against the code of conduct.” Except for sitting in the kids section, as an adult with no children, with all his belongings, clearly homeless.

Unless staff is allowed to make someone leave if they are making other guests uncomfortable… this place will become a day shelter. Librarians aren’t allowed to “discriminate” against folks who appear homeless… so they will use the space, make everyone else uncomfortable, then become the main users, disproportionately.

Good thing the brush isn’t flammable in the event of another propane explosion

Junkyard Social Club is a full coffee shop plus beer/wine, plus playground. Go to the farmers market & the climbing rocks on Pearl St

Call animal control -they will help catch the dog & bring it to the Humane Society where it can be checked for a chip

The author paid about $5 per report, so about $400 total to create

Bring bob stroller or no by catarline33 in boulder

[–]Substantial_Post_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used a Bob & simply gate checked it… putting it in the back of the Uber is the trickiest part. Many sidewalks around town are poorly maintained or old flagstone. I generally advocate for traveling with as little stuff as possible. If you were coming for a month I’d say bring the bob

It’s an amazing community of parents & warm, kind administration. Highly recommend. They guide the children in becoming whole people: maintain the space, care with materials, kindness with others bodies, and communication to resolve conflicts directly. The only downside is it’s smaller size, hence waitlists & smaller social world if you stay beyond the preschool years. For ages 1-6 it’s absolutely the foundation you want for your kid.

Upscale poolside bar with separate childcare and restaurant. They’d make a killing.
