I’m interested in getting my concealed carry license. I’m a bit intimidated…

But I posted this in r/Denver, and I'm in Broomfield teehee

So I wanted to share it here to give Broomfield some love. There's a bunch of nice places to meetup in Broomfield I want to take advantage of!

Getting the jump on interviewing and getting quotes on painting interior home walls of my main floor, kitchen, dining and front foyer where there is high ceilings required.

Looking for recommendations (or avoidance) on who to call. As the home owner, I would prefer to buy said paint (at the recommendation quantity of painter) for them to use so I can maintain costs / color / sheen / quality.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi. So next Tuesday the city council is discussing or voting on a new city flag policy. The policy basically says that the city can fly government flags, like US, Colorado, Broomfield, and some military things like POW's, and also the rainbow LGBT flag. The rainbow flag is the only minority group flag that gets special city recognition, as far as I can tell. Does that sound fair?

Any recommendations on a shop to install running boards?

Tell me about your solar panel experience!

I’m looking for feedback from anyone who has had solar panels installed, or even better, if you have participated in the Solar Switch program through the city & county of Broomfield. We’ve only had good interactions with the vendor so that is not the issue. We know it’s an investment in our home and should (hopefully) save us money in the long term, but we just keep questioning if it will be worth it.

Anyone who has solar already: Pros? Cons? Is it worth it? Are you happy you did it?

I’m looking for recommendations for therapists in the area who specialize in men’s mental health. I’d prefer someone experienced in helping with issues like stress, anxiety, depression, career pressure, relationships, etc.

If you have any personal experiences or know someone you’d recommend, I’d really appreciate it. Bonus points if they offer sliding-scale fees or take insurance.

Feel free to DM me if you’re more comfortable doing so as well. Thanks!

Non CO native just moved here this year. First winter with some snow and I do love it! However, still getting used to driving in it (got good tires and everything though). Question, for weather this weekend how frequent is something like this and is driving in this just normal for yall / just another typical drive in winter?

Hi folks! My family and I are moving to CO, Broomfield-Superior-Louisville area and we're debating wether to have Xfinity or T-Mobile for our home internet and cellphone data. What do you recomend? We only need 2 lines for cellphones.

We received a call from Xcel saying the power is going to be out on Saturday from 8am to 2 pm. What?! Has anyone else received this?

Anyone has any reviews for both of these apartments? I heard that the walls are thin for flatiron apartments.

Hey folks,

I'll be permanently moving to California for work in two weeks and will really miss the Broomfield/Westminster area. I went to the Arvada DMV to inform them of this move. However, they effectively told me that there wasn't any moving out-of-state process and that when I register with California DMV, I could either mail my license plates or destroy them.

Seems pretty simple but I realized after I left, how would they officially know that I'm no longer a Colorado resident? I don't want to be charged for tardy plate renewals when I'm no longer a resident. I tried finding resources online but all I see are articles on if I am moving to Colorado, not out of Colorado. Any insight on the process would help a lot. Thanks!

edit: Appreciate the comments, eased my nerves! Thanks

As far as I can tell so far, it’s out from Midway and Main to Lowell and Midway. Street lights as well!

To anybody who might be interested in an update:

I finally had my court date! As I mentioned in the original post, I retained a lawyer in hopes of this not hitting my insurance. This morning, Eric Chenoweth, a Partner at Shazam Kianpour & Associates, P.C., exceeded all of my expectations by getting my fine reduced to "defective vehicle" (2 points), a $60 5-hour defensive driving class, and a $218 fine. Defective vehicle citations are NOT reported to insurance! Eric's fee was very reasonable and will likely save me thousands in the long run. I would HIGHLY recommend Eric if you're fighting a ticket!

I've already finished the 5 hour class. It was actually pretty insightful and will change the way I drive. I'm just waiting on my Certificate of Completion from the class so I can drop it off at the Court House, pay my fines, and be done with all of this.

Consider me to have officially learned my lesson. No more speeding. More focusing on the road. I'm very grateful to finally have some resolution. This whole ordeal was really stressing me out.

Thanks to everyone who replied to the original post. I sincerely appreciate your feedback. Positive and negative. I would've never hired Mr. Chenoweth if I hadn't made that post.

Hello fellow Broomfielders (Broomfieldites? What's our demonym?)! I am looking for dried guajillo peppers. King Soops has a pretty bad selection of dried peppers. I know Penzey's has them, but it's pretty far. Is there a place closer to us where I can find dried peppers?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m Mike (37), and my soon-to-be fiancé (35) and I moved to LoHi in Denver about a year ago. We’ve completely fallen in love with Colorado and decided to stay for the long haul. We’re now planning to buy a house, but the prices in the city are a bit out of reach for us.

After exploring our options, Broomfield seems like the best fit—it’s accessible to the mountains, the airport, and the city. One of the options we’re considering is a new build in the Baseline Community by Dream Finders Homes.

Does anyone have first-hand experience with them? Or maybe you’ve heard something about their builds? I’ve heard a few horror stories about new home constructions, so I want to make sure we’re going in with as much information as possible. I’ll have a realtor and plan on getting multiple inspections before closing, but any personal insights would be so helpful!

Also, if you have recommendations for other new builds or homes for sale in the area, I’m all ears.

Cheers!
Mike

Any recommendations for bakeries/ stores that sell mooncakes?

Thinking of slowly upgrading our worn down tv stand, coffee table, eventually couch, etc with good quality stuff. Any small business recs or just recs in general? Hand made, real wood or whatever. Not sure exactly what we want yet. We dont care for any "fancy names" but do want quality stuff eventually to replace our stuff that we bought fresh out of college. Kinda looking for that price point before you hit diminishing returns.

Staying with a friend for awhile and would like to find some really good bread while I am here. Thanks!

I am currently living up on the ridge off 128 just west of the airport. I often hear what sounds like either gun shots or cars back-firing from south of my location. Does anybody have any idea whatv this noise is? Nothing I do, including ear plugs, can completely muffle/mask the noise. It happens randomly, as I'm hearing it now at 8:30am but sometimes it's in the evening 5pm-8pm. The noise is driving me crazy because I can't identify it.

I’m talking not a chain, faded menu pictures on the wall, white styrofoam boxes, big portions, for super cheap

Anybody see/hear a drone flying around the Destination Arista apartment complex? Called the non emergent line and they said it was the police’s drone, but curious why they would be surveying this late at night 🤨
