I was up in Boulder last week, and the Pearl Street Mall was in full summertime mode. It was just a little after noon, and the restaurant patios were filled with diners, tourists were walking up and down the mall, and as usual, University of Colorado students were everywhere, deciding to spend their summer break right here. Although Friday and Saturday nights seem to be the liveliest times to enjoy the Pearl Street Mall, what with the buskers and all the people walking about, it appears that things are happening on Wednesday nights, too. A weekly concert series called Bands on the Bricks takes place near the courthouse along the mall, with a wine/beer/margarita garden opening at 5:30 P.M. and musical acts from 7:00 until 9:00. Tonight, Hazel Miller and The Collective will be playing, a popular local band which I remember seeing back when there was a weekly concert series during the summer on Denver's 16th Street Mall, which is now long gone. There is also a free weekly guided walking tour of Boulder's public artwork that starts at 5:30 P.M. every Wednesday. Fun times along the Flatirons. What could be better?
