Here are the top five stories today in Boulder:

  1. It's probably time for front range homeowners to re-examine their homeowner's insurance policy. As a result of the Marshall Fire, it has brought to the forefront what homeowners and renters might face, should a fire come through their neighborhood in the way that residents in Louisville and Superior experienced last December. After a devastating wildfire is the wrong time to learn you're under-insured. (CBS4)

  2. Macy’s Twenty Ninth Street store is closing. Macy's website has a "Store Closing Sale" link posted. There have been plans in place to redevelop the Boulder Macy’s for several years.
    In early 2021, the Boulder City Council decided in an 8-1 vote to approve a site plan that proposes to transform the aging department store into a mixed-use office and retail space. (Digital News)

  3. The Fox Theatre has shaped Colorado's music community and sonic identity. Colorado’s musical notoriety didn’t happen overnight. It was built on the backs of passionate people and relentless effort. The Fox Theatre is a perfect example of how much impact a single place can have on an entire community. (303 Magazine)

  4. Rosenberg's Bagels forced to close locations due to COVID-19 outbreaks. Rosenberg’s Boulder location reopened this past Tuesday for takeout and delivery only, but other Denver locations remained closed this week due to pandemic-related issues. (7News)

  5. Sweep them to where? Denver's program of sweeping the homeless is more like a game of whac-a-mole, and ultimately the policy has de-humanized the people that are being moved from one spot to the next. YS takes a deep dive into the culture and the people in the community of Denver's unhoused neighbors. (Yellow Scene)
