Cafecito, Prairie Dogs, and Shooting Worries: Boulder Local News Rundown
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, January 14th.
Start your day with some cafecito and chisme at CU Boulder's Center for Cultural Connections event from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at 2249 Willard Drive. It's a fun fuel-up for Latiné students and community folks, with coffee, bites, and plenty of gossip to kick off the semester right.[4] Meanwhile, keep an eye on traffic as CDOT plans alternating median closures on CO 119 at 83rd Street and Oxford Road today and tomorrow—check COtrip.org to stay ahead of any backups so your commute doesn't turn into an adventure.[7]
In tougher news, Boulder's dance community is reeling from the sudden closure of Frequency Dance, once Kinesis Dance, amid fraud allegations, unpaid bills stacking up to tens of thousands, and a mysterious 2023 break-in that left the studio trashed but nothing stolen. Parents are out prepaid tuition and fees, the landlord's suing for over $48,000 in back rent, and while Boulder police closed their probe yesterday without charges, the Colorado Attorney General's office is still digging in. Families have shifted to city parks rec classes led by former partner Kirsten Leslie, keeping those young dancers twirling together despite the heartbreak.[1] And a scary shooting incident overnight on 34th Street saw two men fire into an apartment where kids were sleeping—thankfully no one hurt, but police are hunting suspects with no arrests yet.[3]
On open space, prairie dog numbers dipped in 2025, and the city's barrier program continues through this year to curb expansion and cut down on lethal control, even allowing it during pup season at high-risk spots. They've relocated 193 already, with more planned—send comments on the draft plan to osmpinput@bouldercolorado.gov by January 22nd.[5] Also today, the Nederland EcoPass Public Improvement District Advisory Committee meets to chat transit perks.[9]
Tonight's vibe? Catch The RunOut Podcast Live at 7:30 p.m. at Chautauqua Community House for climbing tales and laughs, or Faculty Tuesdays at Grusin Music Hall with wild ensembles—pay what you can.[2] Umphrey's McGee rocks the Boulder Theater tomorrow night, under-16s welcome with an adult.[11] Looking ahead, mark Sunday's MLK event at Boulder JCC with vignettes, jazz, and speeches tying Dr. King's legacy to our world today.[10]
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
