Published 1 year ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
Breaking news this morning as Boulder Fire-Rescue responded to a fire on Pearl Street Mall. Crews have contained the blaze and are currently extinguishing hot spots. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, but damage assessment will follow. We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
In other news, the iconic Hotel Boulderado has changed hands after 40 years of ownership by Colorado restaurateur Frank Day. Chicago-based AJ Capital Partners, known for their Graduate Hotels chain, has acquired a majority stake. While some locals express concern about preserving the hotel's historic charm, representatives assure that the Boulderado name will remain.
Looking ahead to today's events, music lovers are in for a treat as indie rock group Franz Ferdinand takes the stage at the Boulder Theater tonight. Known for their catchy hooks and angular guitar riffs, this promises to be an unforgettable performance.
For those interested in disaster preparedness, the Boulder Office of Disaster Management is hosting a virtual workshop this evening from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. Participants will learn about local hazards, emergency alerts, and how to create a personal disaster preparedness plan.
Art enthusiasts should mark their calendars for Boulder Arts Week, kicking off this Friday and running through April 12. This citywide celebration will showcase an incredible array of cultural experiences, from murals and installations to music and dance performances.
In community news, Boulder County is seeking volunteers to help process food tax rebates for lower-income residents. This program assists in returning the sales tax paid on groceries, and extra office help is needed to manage the influx of applications.
For outdoor enthusiasts, a heads up that the bridge over Community Ditch on the Doudy Draw Trail is closed for maintenance through April 4. While this blocks access to some southern trails, alternative routes are available via the Flatirons Vista Trailhead.
Lastly, a reminder that the Boulder Farmers Market returns this Saturday, April 5, running from 8 AM to 2 PM. It's a perfect opportunity to sample local produce, meet farmers, and enjoy live music by the creek.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
