City council approved a code amendment for wildfire resistant construction on all new builds and major remodels in the city. Kudos to the council for finally getting this done!

However it is really disappointing that they waited until 3 years post Marshall Fire, when 90% of the rebuilds are in process or complete. If they had done this 2.5 years ago it would have made a major difference in the areas that have a history of fire. Such a missed opportunity.

Greetings fellow Louisvillites (“Louisvillians” sounded worse)! Newish to Reddit so please bear with me; this isn’t intended to be rant but an honest question…where are the 30-50 year olds around here?

Don’t get me wrong, I love all of you older and younger folks; I’m just searching for others near my place in life. I used to live here around 2013-2016, but moved a bit south, closer to Denver, for a while. During my time here, I felt like it was easy to encounter numerous others around my age at the store/gym/work/restaurants/etc. I always figured they were here for the same reasons I was…cost of living, generally safe, low key but still fun.

I’ve been back for a little over a year now and feel like an outsider; seemingly rare that I come across folks around my age, couples or singles, anywhere or anytime. I’ve hit the gym early/late, stores and restaurants (and bars/breweries) at any time, and just don’t see this age range out and about. I know Louisville and Lafayette have been “starter family sanctuaries” for a while, and I still see that to a limited degree, but nothing like in the past.

So, where are they? Did they all get priced out? Am I somehow missing them? Just looking for folks that may still be at an early/midpoint in their career and life to find friendships.

Thanks for sharing your perspective and any insight!

Not what exactly happened (anyone know??) but Trent is responding by offering free queso. Go get it & support our local restaurants!!

Moving to the area and wondering if there are specific neighborhoods in Louisville that go all out for holiday lights? Does cornerstone neighborhood put up a lot of lights?

Moving to the area soon, I’ve heard all the good, what don’t you like about Louisville?

I was out on a walk early (3am ish) this morning when an obviously scared Australian shepherd came running towards me. I called to him but he was pretty spooked and ended up running away. He had a collar on (it may have been red but it was dark so I’m not 100% sure). He ran towards Owl Ct. going east through the neighborhood near the Lutheran church. I called the cops who also went on the search for him but I don’t know if they had any luck.

Tl;dr: if you’re missing a dog call the Louisville PD!

Hey!

A friend and I have recently started a Russian Lit. Book club that meets every couple of weeks here in Boulder!

I thought this might be a good place to find a few more members! All experience levels are welcome!

There are no fewer than three different houses nearby whose dogs seem to be left to their own devices and bark throughout the day and evening.

It's like water drip torture. They'll bark for a few minutes. Silence for a few minutes. Bark for a few minutes more. Repeat. And when one dog is quiet, another one will start up. It's not enough to meet the threshold to call the cops for a continuous noise violation, especially since the sporadic nature means all might be silent at the time anyone comes to investigate. But it is enough to cause me to lose focus and stress me out.

Every moment of silence I have at home is to be treasured. I'm on edge all the time now, just waiting for the barking to start.

And I can't very well go on a lap around the neighborhood talking with everyone about their dogs. No matter how nice I am about it, that would surely have me become That Neighbor.

I am just sad to be at home now. I'm umable to read a book, open a window, or enjoy my own backyard.

Please neighbors, if you know someone with a dog who has a tendency to bark... please implore your friends to consider their neighbors and not allow it to go on for minutes at a time. Dogs bark, that's normal. But if your dog is sensitive and prone to excessive barking, please spend time training against that response... instead of abandoning your pet to the yard so they don't bother you at everyone else's expense.

Anyway I need some way to deal with this or I will lose my mind.

Posting here and in r/Boulder. What are the rules about holding back your kids in BVSD schools if they are late birthdays or just delayed? We’re moving into the district 3 yr old will be one of the youngest in his grade if we don’t hold him back (and he is already speech delayed / somewhat shy). Am I allowed to have him repeat PK3 or PK4 in BVSD before starting K? Or am I better off keeping him in private / non-BVSD preschool until K so we can hold him back?

Hello everyone, I am looking to make myself useful and get my hands back in the dirt! I was fortunate enough to get a plot at a community garden space in the county a couple years ago and I had a wonderful time getting to know my neighbors and spending time in that space. Unfortunately life happens and I've had to center other priorities since but I now am in a place where I can put some good time into helping with green spaces :)

Does anybody know of spots in the area looking for volunteers/assistants? I am far far far from being a good gardener but I am very much eager to learn and grow given the chance!

Moving to the area from Chicago and looking at new build (re-build) homes in the area just east of Harper Lake in Louisville (Coal Creek Elementary). What is this neighborhood like? Are there many young kids? How do people like the elementary school? Anything I should be aware of?

Looking for a sit down brunch spot recommendation with outdoor seating. Thank you

Update: We wound up going Huckleberry. It was good. Thanks to all for their suggestions.

Looking at homes in the Cornerstone neighborhood of Louisville (from out of state). I know it is rebuilding from fire but is it a good neighborhood for kids to play in streets with other neighborhood kids? Seems like easy access to bike path. Any information would be so helpful. Thanks!

Looking for self defense classes in the area. Not opposed to martial arts but not interested in the belt tests or anything. Any recommendations?

Hey all! My husband and I are colorado born and raised, BUT we have alwayssssss lived and worked on the eastern plains. My husband just took a new job in Boulder, and we are debating which town/subdivision might be best for us! I definitely don't think we'll be able to afford to live in the town of Boulder itself, so we've been looking at the little towns surrounding it. Here is what are our big considerations. We have 3 young children, so we want to be in an area where they can attend a genuinely amazing school since we will be coming from a small town with a lot of 1 on 1 time with teachers, so it will be a huge change for them. So we're looking for some of the highest rated schools in the surrounding areas. Safety and crime rates. Again, since we have young girls, we want to be somewhere relatively safe (i know in our world that's funny Imao) Since my husband will be working in Boulder, we also want to stay within a 30 minute drive give or take. My step daughter also lives with her mom during the week in Lakewood (which is a little too far from Boulder for us to probably live there) so we're hopefully wanting something in that direction ish so we can be between his job and his daughter if possible. Some of the options we were looking into were Louisville, superior, broomfield, Westminster, and Arvada. MAYBE northglenn or Thornton if there's nothing closer or the benefits of being there are just that much better. Also open to any other areas you'd suggest! What would you guys suggest! Where are the best schools? Safest areas? Best communities? Nearby Boulder but still somewhat close to Lakewood? Affordable? Still fun things to do?

Just drive by community Park and noticed they were setting up for an event. Looks like ticket sales have ended, anybody know if they allow walk in tickets?

The green color of their signs and the building are hideous! It blinds me driving on South Boulder rd. That’s all I wanted to say.

Hi! Was wondering what ISP folks are using and which ones seem to be best? As far as I can tell, it doesn’t seem like fiber internet is available? TIY!

Why does it flash all night long? Why is it so bright? How does it not drive nearby residents insane? It surprises me every time I walk by it!

Did anyone else see a fireball heading SW over the business area (Dillon/Mccaslin) at about 9 tonight?

We have a dog in our front yard. Collar but no tags. Lemme know if you know the owner

I couldn’t find any Boulder County specific book clubs so I figured I’d start one! Looking to gather 5-7 ladies for a monthly book club in the Louisville/Lafayette area. I mostly like contemporary fiction but enjoy the occasional classic literature as well.

About me: 36/f, live in Louisville with my husband and golden retriever. I work from home for a nonprofit. Message me if you’re interested! :)
