This place is such a gem! I can spend all day here.. I did not.. I only had 2 hour parking and I…read moredid spend it all here. Lol. I got so lost checking out the various book recommendations; that's how I read books that are not my usual genres. I really appreciate these bookstores' staff's recommendations because they tend to be such book nerds and would have the best insights and why they love certain books. One was so hilarious I had to take a picture. They 3 floors of books to completely overwhelm you! I feel like such a kid in a candy shop here. They have many author events coming up, but none of them are during the dates I'm here. Perhaps another time.

But I know a few who do and wanted to check out this collection. I was created immediately by staff and we had a short and funny chat as like me, about 30 years ago, at the advent of the CD, we bought the new equipment and let go of most of our. Collections of records . In retrospect maybe premature as they are back. But I'm satisfied with what I have now but value the choices of others with room and time for both. If you are looking for something specific they likely have it here unless extremely obscure. The selection was huge and better organized than many similar retro music stores that I have seen in other cities. These seemed in very good condition though they have random bins of more worn items in the bargain bins on the sidewalk. Go take a look if you have equipment and if not, they may have what you need here too. The staff person told me so but I did not have time to look.

My wife and I took the hour drive up to Boulder one mid-afternoon looking for a different place to…read morewalk around and maybe to get some coffee with dessert. We found our way to Pearl Street mall and asked some shoppers where we could find a dessert place. Apparently Boulder people only eat salads so we were on our own. We walked a few blocks deep into the mall and didn't find anything so we headed back to the car. On a whim we walked past our car to the next intersection to see if there was some dessert place there. The only sweet place we came across was Paradise Found Records. I collect old vinyl and I'll usually stop into a record store to see if they have anything from my wish list. Sean, a bearded, long-haired music aficionado asked if he could help me find anything. I opened up the list on my phone and read off the first one. He went straight to the album and proudly showed it to me. I was shocked. These albums are still on my wish list because they are impossible to find. I named the next one. He walked like a man on a mission and quickly found that one also! He knew exactly where these antique titles were as if he was digging through his own record collection! I was elated, but a little suspicious. Do they have these albums because they're so expensive no one is buying them? I flipped the album over to see the price. SIX DOLLARS! That is unheard of! Years ago used vinyl albums in decent condition were going for $12 and the prices have just gone up from there. Recently I bought a used album for $18. I listened to all the albums as soon as we got home and they sounded great. Oh, why don't we live in Boulder?!

The cafe is seamlessly tucked into the bookstore without either getting in the way of eachother and the back patio area is super nice. The patio is gorgeous and the seating is spaced nicely so it doesnt feel cramped. The coffee and pastries themselves were pretty solid and the staff was super friendly as well. It was easy to have a good conversation with them and they knew what they were talking about. Overall a great spot.

It's a two store deal, a woodsy and intimate bookstore connected to a lively coffee shop. I only took a brief peek but found lots of options from fiction to guides for hiking in Colorado.

The Marquee is a free newspaper magazine that you can get throughout much of Northern Colorado. I…read morehave not seen it turn up in Denver but maybe I am just looking in the wrong places. You can find it at businesses that carry other newspaper magazines that are free, like the Westword. The magazine is released monthly. The newspaper is based out of Boulder with a primary focus on the music scene of Northern Colorado... or perhaps the Front Range might be more accurate to say. They cover upcoming show information at certain venues all the way from Fort Collins to Denver. They have great write ups on bands and musicians that will be coming to the area and talk about a new album they are probably supporting since they are out on tour. The last one I read was about the band Ween as well as some other articles on local bands and what they were doing to help people who lost their homes to the devastating Fourmile Canyon Fire which happened this late summer. When I feel like I am not in the know with music I am always happy to get a hold of The Marquee... The Westword is also helpful too but I know I am good shape with this particular magazine. They have great coverage for when nationally known bands are coming to town and local bands. I really like that mix because it seems like other free music magazines are either too local in their concert listings or just cover the bigger acts to coming to town so I must praise them for having a fine mix of listings for both.

When it was posted, they cropped off the top of his head in the photo (the preview that I approved before paying was not cropped). I emailed, no reply back. I called and they said they'd see if they could fix it. Didn't get fixed and haven't heard from anyone. Save your money - use The Boulder Reporting Lab as your place for posting obituaries. Even though they offer the service for free (I made a donation), they replied back to me within an hour, and offered a personal note of condolences. They even tweaked a few grammatical things in my text that made it flow more smoothly. It's so sad to see the Camera go way down hill over the years, both in customer service and quality of the reporting and writing.
