Smoking ban on Pearl Street Mall has Teeth

0

Enforcement of smoking ban on Pearl Street Mall begins April 1

 

The ordinance banning smoking on the Pearl Street Mall went into effect on Jan. 18, 2013.  The ordinance bans all smoking between 11th and 15th streets on the Pearl Street Mall, and on the lawn of the Boulder County Courthouse.  The maximum penalty for a first or second offense within two years is a fine of $500; a third and subsequent conviction within two years triggers the general penalty provision of a maximum $1,000 fine and/or maximum of 90 days in jail.

 

Boulder police officers who patrol on the Pearl Street Mall have been educating people about the smoking ban since it went into effect, and have not written any tickets while the signs were being manufactured.  On Monday, April 1, the ordinance will be fully implemented, and enforcement will begin.

 

Signs were ordered after City Council approved the ordinance in December; however there was a delay in the sign manufacturing.  The signs on the mall are custom enameled and take longer to fabricate. The enamel signs are more resistant to graffiti and other tampering.

 

The city is collaborating with several partners, including Boulder County Public Health and Downtown Boulder, Inc. (DBI), to create a coordinated educational campaign for downtown employees and visitors about the smoking ban on the mall. A celebration event will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday, April 12, on the 1300 block of the Pearl Street Mall, where county, city and DBI staff will be available to answer questions about the smoking ban and about free resources available for individuals who wish to quit smoking.

Boulder Art and Jazz Fest May 5-6

0


The 7th annual Boulder Arts, Craft and Jazz Festival kicked off today Saturday May 5th and runs through Sunday May 7. It features music all day from a main stage on the Pearl Street Mall at the court house. Other musicians are spread up and down the mall. There are literally hundreds of arts and crafts tents from one end of the mall to the other. Interspersed are food tents with everything from Mexican, Oriental  to American.

It was a beautiful day on Saturday at the festival with a friendly relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of a Boulder old school event. A lot of Boulderites were present with a fine mixture of tourists. This is the big event of the year that kicks off summer in Downtown Boulder.

The event is promoted by the folks from the Dickens Store who started the original Bands on the Bricks many years ago They really know how to put on a family event. You don’t want to miss this one because it was not a crush of people who have been drinking all day.  Of course the bars and restaurants are all open on Pearl Street and they were packed with festival goers as well.

The theme is early 1969 Woodstock and for those of you who were there, it is all love, peace and music at the The 7th annual Boulder Art and Jazz Festival.  The music is excellent too. Bands played all day today and will start on the stage at 11:00 am til 6:30 pm: see the line up below.  This appears to be the largest authentic music festival in Boulder. There are some others but they  take place in theaters and bars and not on one stage. The Boulder Creek Festival is of course the very largest muical event just 3 weeks away on Memorial Day weekend with  5 music and dance stages. But Sunday afternoon will be the highlight of the festival.

 

The event is a charity event for Olive Branch a non-prot organization which brings resources and opportunities to widows and orphans in Rwanda and Uganda. They are active in building Orphanages, Medical Clinics and Schools in this country!

Alcohol 2

April is Alcohol Awareness month all over the USA But not Boulder

2

Alcohol abuse is the elephant sitting on the Pearl Street Mall  that no one wants to address.

We have serious problems with Youth Drinking, Women alcoholics are on the rise with the popularity of wine tastings among well to do educated women.  The Start up community sees its share of alcohol abuse  in the office. Alcohol promotions are way up withCommunity groups such as Downtown Boulder. It has promoted the Mixology festival at BMOCA. It also promote a weekly bar hopping tour. Next week it promotes a Pearl Street long wine tasting event. It turned every Band on the Bricks into a beer festival.  It used to be a family event. The city also promotes a craft beer festiva.l The Pearl street drinking scene is hotter than ever.

The city has been concerned about alcohol abuse on University Hill and has started turning down liquor licensees there. Yet two super liquor stores will open this year near 29th street.

Techstars and Boulder Start up routinely promote drinking events everyday they operate. Caution of this addictive drug has been cast to the wind.

The down side is the addiction, behavior, and pressure on public services : from police, to human resources, hospital,<

This is an issue that needs to be addressed.

 80% of Boulder arrests are alcohol abuse related. They include the majority of domestic violence calls, 100% of drunk driving calls.  50% of all motor vehicle accidents. Home accidents, drownings , boating accidents. The number nationally are staggering. In Boulder they run higher than the national average.

Boulder has also won the dubious distinction of being the drinking-est community by over a dozen organizations.  Boulder Community hospital which does not list alcohol as a cause of death lists a large number of admittance’s for alcohol related diseases including heart disease, kidney failure, heart disease, diabetes, chronic arthritis,  and too many to list .

The county Addiction Recovery Center which employs a staff of over 30 24 hours a day admits over 3000 sufferers from alcoholism a year.  County mental health say that 50 % of their patients have alcohol abuse. Over 70% of Boulder 3000 homeless suffer from alcoholism. Alcoholics anonymous estimates over 5000 members. Half are under 35 years old.< On the job drinking is promoted daily in social media with office parties always in play.

Wine meet-ups have become a new phenom as have women’s wine lunches.

But is Boulder addressing Alcohol Awareness month ?? No.  Why not?.  The reason is that a symptom of community wide alcohol abuse is Denial. 18 years ago Boulder banned inflatable liquor displays and alcohol signage such as beer banners hanging from buildings.  It also brought to an end alcohol sponsored events at Boulder Rez.
But alcohol promoted events have begun to sneak back into the community.

In 1993 through 1995 alcohol abuse was so severe the city and county held yearly alcohol summits. But not anymore.  Has the problem one away. No, it has gotten worse every year.

Here some links on what you can do to raise awareness about alcohol abuse in Boulder http://healthfinder.gov/nho/PDFs/AprilNHOtoolkit.pdf

If he could stay sober and off Drugs, Seth Brigham might make a good city council member, but seen in his throes of alcoholism that will never happen. But he is one of a few candidates who call othjer candidates, dicks and cock suckers after a fashion and we think that is good for keeping the civil discourse at blood sport level. Let The Games Begin!!

In exile, down here in Mexico, thanks to the City of Boulder!!!
In exile, down here in Mexico, thanks to the City of Boulder!!!

I have decided to set up my lemonade stand later this year to drum up petition signatures for my run for CITY COUNCIL !!!

Is it possible to make lemonade out of the current lemons? I think not!!!

Yes, yes, we are all very excited! as some of “the wooooooorst” Council members will be running this year.

My plan is to “take the gloves off,” and no, that is not a threat but a promise to hold no punches when it comes to the previous decisions of some council members,

who, SUCK!!! it’s too bad more of them weren’t up for relection!!! Throw the bums out!

Last election we saw the fascists rise to power, most glaringly with the bought council seat of Mr. “keep the business doors open winter, summer, fall and winter.”

Nice job, prick!!! Damn the environment !!! I own the Pearl Street Mall, me and my devious little long term BIZZY DIZZY speculators,

enriching ourselves from The pedestrian Shop to Eight Days A Week, scimming and scammimg and not caring about the rest of us.

And, then there were the suspect campaign contributions for Suzy the ” Boulder’s not corrupt but I am ! ” Suzy que Ageton. Nice job!

Goodbye Sanitas !!! And, here’s another $500,000 for the Visitors Center/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Homeless, fuck ‘em!!! We don’t discriminate, we eliminate !!! Ken ” THE LITTLE DICK” Wilson say’s… another idiot? No, just an opportunist,

cozying up to EXCEL and shitting on the CU students, all to improve his lot on the Hill. Screw the REZ he say’s !!!

Well, this year, we are not going to let the developers, speculators and realtors direct the conversation with the bull crap manifesto called,

HIGH DENSITY BUILDING for the rich!!! as if they care about the “unnafordable people” who live inside and outside of BULLdertown.

No more campaign signs in the public ways and means of winning by spending upwards of thirty thousand to buy a seat.

And, allow hypocrites like macon SCOWLES pretend, it seems, as if he cares about the environment, all the while “selling out” to the realtors,

and in the process, attempting to “better his position in the tax bracket” by cheating on his taxes, all the while making the most wonderous speeches,

of what? his pompous ass of care for the little people, Mr. Civil liberty himself, what a joke!!! But… sounds of silence is all we hear about the homeless.

It’s just too bad that the one with the cocaine habit and love of beauty saloons has decided to retire to one of her three homes.

We can only hope she decides to move to Crestted Butte or Lake Tahoe so we don’t have to hear her blowhard Peace Department dribble when we all know it’s all empty, and vacuous,

her mind, that is, telling the public how much we spend on Human Services and the kids come first, whilst letting BVSD and STUPIDDEPENDENT retire while still on the payroll.

Let’s all go to the Jonas Brothers!!! with those Public ASSES over at Educational Access, turned into a private productions.

And, I thought Tony “the phony” Perri was just a bad apple, you must be kidding, when there’s CUNTI and ALAN O ASS HOLY and the BITCHY SISTERS making grande dollars,

while no one even remembers there once was a television station for and by the people of Boulder! The only thing I’m not sure about is whether Brautigam can top the corruption of the previous regime now idling by up at CU after selling our downtown away, eyes on the prize, let’s go seven stories high!!!

If I am elected it will be required that Mayor Osbourne wear a dunce cap to each meeting and place it upon each speaker, for that is how much they care about what the public thinks.

Damn them, those pesky residents of Boulder, we must build high and wide!!! and throw those without money into the polluted Boulder creek!!!

Hold your noses!!! Seth is back in town !!! And, Him and his advisors, me, myself and I. Are you ready to rumble????

VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!

This event is the result of a joint effort between the City of Boulder Children, Youth and Families Division, Kiwanis Clubs of Boulder, the Boulder Valley School District and media sponsor, the Daily Camera. Children, Youth and Families is a division of the city’s Department of Housing and Human Services.

In order to encourage visitors to Colorado Children’s Day to leave their cars at home, Go Boulder and Special Transit are offering families free rides to and from the event on the HOP bus. Please visit www.goboulder.net for maps and bus schedules.

Boulder Burgers

Rueben’s Burger Bistro in Boulder is a happy place. It’s the kind of place you take your kids on a Friday night  before the Buffalo Stampede on Pearl Street.  Married couples might meet there on the same night  same time for drinks.  It is chatty, noisy, friendly, breezy, open and just so doggone American it makes you feel good to go out at night.

We also went to Rueben’s which hosted the nightly Crab talk show during the  Fringe Festival in August.  Even with all the artists, and performers it still had that approachable friendly vibe.

At Broadway and Walnut; kids love it.

This is the kind of place where you get a huge fat burger made any way you want it with fries. It is not a chain and is downtown at B-way and Walnut so it is in the heart of Restaurant row. They also serve Mac and cheese anyway you want it so kids love this place.  And let’s face it with a lot of downtown upscale restaurants aimed at singles and not families, Reuben’s is definitely a place where you’ll feel comfortable with the kids , yet feel like you have not fallen into a cultural abyss by being forced to endure Red Robin…which is fine…it is just not upscale anddowntown.

Burger and fries at Rueben's

They have a big bar too and a wide selection of Belgium beers. We did notice few Martinis being served, but all and all this place was Rockin  at 7:00 pm  At night they have bands on weekends plus a bunch of TV’s which might as well been off cause people were into each other while we were there.

The decor of the Restaurant is worth noting. It was originally designed as a Mediterranean French restaurant so it’s nice. There is outdoor seating  comfy booths and lounges inside.  They even have new grass outside some kids and dads were playing on. So Rueben’s is the most wholesome downtown restaurant where you can get a drink, not have to deal with attitude from customers or staff nor see drunk moms trying to get kids to be quiet. You can go to the Kitchen, Med or Brasserie 1010 for that.  Rueben himself is a good guy, friendly and has been in the Boulder restaurant biz for 15 years so he knows what he’s doing.
