Boulder County, Colo. – The last day to vote at an early-voting location or request a mail-in ballot for the general election is Friday, Oct. 29.
Boulder County voters can cast ballots or request and pick up mail-in ballots at any early-voting location or from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., Oct. 28-29:

· County Clerk’s Office – 529 Coffman St., Longmont

Ballots are no longer being mailed to voters.
Since the recommended deadline to mail ballots back to the clerk’s office has passed, voters should drop off ballots at designated locations. Ballot drop-off location details are available inside mail-in ballot packets and at www.VoteBoulder.org. Voters can verify whether their mail-in ballots were received by the clerk’s office by checking their voter information at www.VoteBoulder.org.
Voters can also vote at their assigned polling places from 7 a.m.-7p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 2.
Voters are encouraged to check their voter information at www.VoteBoulder.org or call 303-413-7740 to find their assigned polling places. A voter can verify their address information, review a map of their polling place location and obtain a sample of their ballot by checking information online.
“In 2008, we had a significant increase in the number of voters choosing to vote by mail-in ballot,” Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Hillary Hall said. “It made sense to combine polling places where we had fewer voters casting ballots. By combining locations we were able to reduce election costs.”
Voters are required to present an acceptable form of identification at an early-voting location or polling place. This can include a valid Colorado driver’s license, valid U.S. passport or valid student ID card with a photo of the voter. A complete list is available at www.VoteBoulder.org.

Boulders High Rent District
Aug 1st
It’s not Beverly Hills, Folks!
The Downtown Boulder Pearl Street Mall has become a desirable location for various retail and other businesses. But, as buildings change ownership, the rents change, too. Out-of-area landlords may expect higher rent from retailers which, in many recent cases, causes the retailers to close and move shop!
Recently there have been several Pearl Street Mall businesses closing and moving because the rents topped at 10% increases or more. Some have opted to move to 29th Street. Several are still in their current locations with “for rent” signs glaring in their windows.
As to the outcome, we’ll wait and see. The cute boutique Chelsea near 10th Street on Pearl Street is moving and so is the T-Bar, upscale lingerie which moved from its original location on 9th Street and is now located on Pearl near 15th Street ! Some stores with internet sales can survive. Others can’t.
While out of town visitors may spend more here, residents are struggling along just like others in other parts of the country.
Increasing prices won’t gain more customers. So, anything on Pearl Street had better be a big “seller” or they won’t be here long. Restaurants, too, come and go for the same reasons.
What is the downtown management doing about it? Stimulating the economy in a secret way that brings additional retailers and customers to town? When so many events take up the spaces on the Mall and nearby streets, people do not frequent the shops more. Instead, they come for the events and leave.
So, Boulder’s high rent district is just that. It doesn’t seem to want to go away!
