Does anyone know what is going in next to the Presbyterian church at Main and 3rd? Is this part of the police expansion, or something else?

FYI in case anyone else is having MDE library issues this morning: their network is down

Apparently marmot.org itself is down, which I think is most of the libraries in Colorado, including their Libby interface.

Is there an outage with the Longmont Library server? : r/Longmont

Update: Looks like they are back.

Do not go to Altitude barbershop

73 Upvotes

Incredibly upset that I am typing this. I spent a long time researching a barbershop to take care of me and I landed here, but my experience was so bad that I feel obligated to share it to save anybody else a similar headache. Started out with Lorenzo being 20 minutes late for the haircut. Almost immediately after starting, he had someone else waiting already, so clearly he was in a hurry. He took 1 quick look at my pictures I requested and proceeded to start cutting away and never asked any questions or confirmed what he was doing was correct. He finished up and showed it to me and I was devastated that he completely took off all my hair when I wanted a good 6-7 inches left on 1 side. I sat there upset and asked if he could even it out and started taking even more off the side instead of the front. I told him to just stop and then he used that request for a fix as the justification to blame me for the whole haircut being off. ZERO accountability. Even went as far as to say that it doesn’t look that far off. As I sat there upset, he told me there was nothing he could do and that I need to leave. I don’t care if I didn’t have to pay for it. I had my hair completely messed up, and was then bullied for not liking it. It is going to take me months to get it back where I wanted it. 0/10 experience. Would highly recommend not coming here unless you want to spend the next few months wearing a hat like me.
2nd and 3rd picture are what I requested and the 1st is how they sent me out the door. Can anybody make any suggestions as to how to save my haircut and where I should go?
EDIT:
Thank you everyone who participated. From the people who said kind words to cheer me up, those who supported me in my endeavor to spread awareness, those with recommendations, even those internet trolls who aren’t even from Colorado who thought they could damage my name or spread negativity in some sort of way. I wish nothing but the best for all of you! 🫶

Dentist recommendations for pregnant patients in Broomfield?

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm currently pregnant and looking for a dentist in the Broomfield area with experience treating pregnant patients.

I have one tooth that's been bothering me, so I do need it looked at, but I'm hoping to find a practice that:

  • Only does what's necessary and doesn't push unnecessary treatment
  • Won't push for deep cleaning during pregnancy (I'd prefer just routine cleaning for now)
  • Is pregnancy-friendly overall

I saw a dentist a couple weeks ago who pushed for an X-ray, deep cleaning, and filing for several teeth, which made me uncomfortable, so I'm hoping to find someone more conservative in their approach.

If you've had a good experience with a dentist while pregnant, I'd really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Broomfield Police on 120th?

I was on 120th Ave near the library around 2 PM today when officers blocked the intersection and stopped traffic going Westbound. Afterwards, a whole bunch of police bikes and other transports went by. Seemed like it went on forever.

Does anyone know what this was?

Lost RC airplane

On Saturday July 11th I was flying at the rc airfield at the corner of Lowell and 144th. The wind carried my plane out of radio range and all I could do was watch it fly in circles taking it higher and farther away until I couldn’t see it.

It was moving away on a path roughly shown on the map. I’m offering a $50 reward if anyone has found it and will return it.

Front Range rail tax is coming, but RTD is slashing the buses we actually use

21 Upvotes

We’re being asked to support a new tax for a different train at the exact moment RTD is gearing up to cut the services people in Broomfield actually use. That disconnect matters more than any glossy rail rendering or ribbon cutting ceremony.

Different RTD committees are floating service cuts of 5 or 10 percent, with talk of a worst case scenario reaching up to 20 percent. The list of what could be on the chopping block is not abstract: FlexRide zones, Route 228, 112, LD, and even Route 53, which was just extended and promoted as a win for local connectivity. These aren’t luxuries. They’re the basic routes that get workers to shifts, students to class, and older adults to appointments.

When you look at RTD’s own performance and subsidy data from the late 2010s, you see a pattern: Broomfield and its neighbors pay heavily to keep routes and FlexRide service alive, even when those services don’t fully serve Broomfield or skip key parts of the community. Local officials and advocates have put the number at roughly five million dollars a year in subsidy for services that often don’t come close to matching what residents are putting in. The numbers have likely only grown since then as costs rise and RTD keeps chasing “efficiencies.”

Meanwhile, the public conversation is shifting toward new taxes for more rail. On paper, that sounds like progress. Who doesn’t like the idea of sleek trains and grand regional connections? But if your daily reality is waiting for a FlexRide that might be cut or standing at a Route 228 stop that may vanish, a future train somewhere else in the metro area is not much comfort. You’re being told to pay for something distant and uncertain while the thing you already rely on is getting thinner.

Broomfield has leaned hard into FlexRide as a lifeline: local outreach, freefare promotions over summer, city messaging that tells people this is their first mile, last mile solution. Now those same riders are being told there might be less of it, and that the fixed route backbone that made some trips possible without a call ahead van could disappear. That is not what shared sacrifice looks like. It’s a one way street where the region gets new toys and the suburbs get smaller service windows.

At some point you have to ask a simple question: if RTD is willing to cut these everyday routes, why should Broomfield residents sign off on paying for someone else’s train? The people who depend most on transit aren’t asking for prestige projects. They’re asking for a bus that still comes, a FlexRide that still runs, and a system that recognizes their lives as worth serving. Until the agency can demonstrate that it will protect core service in places like Broomfield, any new tax for “different trains” feels less like progress and more like a bad trade dressed up in hopeful language.

Thorough Dermatologist recommendation

3 Upvotes

I'd love your recommendations on thorough dermatologists in the area to have a few concerning spots checked, even if it's outside of Broomfield. The last three derms I've seen in the area have done a super quick scan of my body then rushed me out the door, despite me advocating for more attention to certain areas. Melanoma runs in my family and I'm looking for a thorough, thoughtful derm who will take their time with me and actually consider my concerns and family history. Thank you!

Vet recommendations

7 Upvotes

I believe my dog had a partial blockage or possibly something else wrong with her. I’ll keep it short and sweet but she’s also very high energy and very friendly. Because of this, vets don’t run any testing when she gets sick and I take her in. I’m looking for a vet that will listen to me rather than rush us in and out. We were going to Arrowhead, and when I took her in as an emergency last time (at their recommendation mind you) they told me I was over reacting and all dogs in Colorado have upset stomachs from time to time. Then said because she was happy to see them they wouldn’t run any testing. Despite me saying she actually pretty mellow compared to usual.
Fast forward she’s had 3 more episodes, the most recent has me concerned something is very wrong.

I'm looking for a place in Lafayette, Broomfield, or Westminster where I could play a roughly 2-hour board game with friends on a Saturday afternoon. Ideal would be somewhere we can buy food/drink to accompany the game.
