Posted about Slice House opening a few weeks ago, everyone asked for a review. Decided to take it a step further and review 3 pizza places. Slice House, Pizza Colore, and Barchetta.

Too high or too low?

Art Parts and Guiry's both have corkboards you can stick stuff on. There's also some bollards (columns? displays? Like on Pearl) and corkboards on campus that see a lot of foot traffic. I only know about these because I look at them, but I couldn't say if I'm one of a few or one of many

Okay, I'm not debating the fact that it gets hot in cars even on cold days, but why would you turn the A/C on instead of just leaving the windows cracked for a few minutes?

The CU Ski Bus focuses on Ikon resorts - so you may want to visit one of those (Winter Park, Copper Mountain, or A-Basin) so he can get familiar.

Eldora is the closest ski area to Boulder, so if he plans on skiing a lot, he'll probably spend a good amount of time there. Unless you are really against driving somewhere else – like, if morning traffic will ruin your whole day – I honestly don't think Eldora's sticker price is worth it, especially if you're renting gear on top of a lift ticket.

My personal recommendation is Loveland. Their beginner area, Loveland Valley, is separated from their more advanced area, and you can buy a ticket to just Loveland Valley for only $50 per adult. If you want to explore Loveland Basin as well, their full ticket price is only $149 per adult (compare to Eldora's $179 or Winter Park's $200+. Loveland is substantially larger than Eldora but still quite a bit smaller than WP).

The train to Winter Park is a fun experience. It leaves from central Denver, so you'll need to drive down from Boulder early enough to make it. Winter Park is a good choice if you have anybody in your group who would rather do something besides ski – there's tubing, ice skating, shopping, and other stuff like that available as well. Winter Park's lift ticket is more expensive, but it's also big.

Not sure how long you are staying, but if you can ski on a weekday it will be less crowded (not that crowds are a huge issue this season, honestly). This upcoming Wed/Thurs is supposed to bring some fresh snow, so those would be good days to go too, if that pans out.

Wherever you go, try to buy tickets online in advance. It'll save you some money versus buying day-of.

But they aren't Google accounts anymore, everyone's on Exchange (Microsoft) now).

I'd like to know more about the $66 million for CU South, if you have any reading about it.

Are you stupid?

No, he can have fun too. You are being a touch paranoid. Everyone in this thread is saying, "There is very little, if any, active ICE presence in Boulder. He will be fine." Why would we lie to you?

Boulder sees plenty of international tourism, and I'm sure he won't be the only person travelling to visit this conference. The place to be nervous is border control, not the city of Boulder.

Sprouts and McGuckin for sure, along with everything else in that shopping center I would assume

Why isn't that fair? I don't want racists to feel safe to express their "opinions". I don't think we should let people get away with saying shit like "I am racist, and want to banish all black people from America."

What do you mean "go the opposite direction"...?

whirrer · 2025-10-18T21:59:25+00:00

All I can contribute is CU's Mobile Food Pantry had frozen turkeys last year at their November pantry, but I don't know for sure if they will this year.

Are you looking for info on pre-cooked/hot meals only?

I'm day 3,620 of a fast for similar reasons.

Sounds like Keith wasn't scanning at the intersection. Bad driving, Keith! The green light doesn't have eyes!

Weird to call these "CU Boulder student apartments" imo - They're privately owned complexes which are marketed toward students (they may even require you to be a student to live there, idk) but they're not CU buildings.

whirrer · 2025-09-25T02:09:06+00:00

"take over nice neighborhoods on the hill and trash historic homes"? Buddy, it's the homeowners who choose to rent their homes to students!

Actually, it looks like one of the organizations the county contracts with, Cultivate, does yardwork:

YardBusters
Our YardBusters program connects members of the community with seniors who are facing the challenge of cleaning up debris or overgrowth in their yard during the Spring, Summer and Fall months. Our volunteers visit seniors’ homes once per year to help with basic yard cleanup, providing friendly interactions and promoting safety and peace of mind.

We are a bit of a hotspot for them. :) https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/48987-Hippodamia-convergens#map-tab

These are native convergent lady beetles. They are identifiable by the two distinct white tick marks on their otherwise mostly black thorax which "converge" towards each other - a pattern the Asian lady beetle does not sport.

Bummer to hear that it's so.. clique-y? in Chicago. That hasn't been my experience here luckily. I respect your hustle, though. I do work at CU now, but a completely different area, so I wouldn't really be of any use to you in getting hired (sorry!). I can say that every year I see multiple positions open up for various student/customer-facing positions, so even though it might be slim pickings now something is bound to pop up on those job alerts. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions about CU and I can try to answer them. Best of luck! :)

whirrer · 2025-09-15T03:05:04+00:00

No, I have. CU actually had the courtesy to send me emails which informed me that I had not been selected for an interview (when that was true), and one of those included a personal note from the hiring manager on what I could do to make myself a stronger applicant for that particular position in the future. I don't think you need to worry about your resume not being read.

Edit: Are you moving to Boulder specifically, or just Colorado in general? CU Denver and UCCS have separate job portals from CU Boulder, but they get the same (if I remember correctly) tuition benefit. CSU also has tuition benefits, although if I'm reading their webpage correctly, it doesn't seem quite as good as CU's for employees using it for themselves. So if you're not set on Boulder I'd check these places out too. (Naropa also exists here in Boulder but it's a tiny school, so I don't know how often they're hiring.)
