Today's riddle: How fast is milk when you pour it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Colorado appeals court upholds Boulder financing plan for CU South flood project (boulderreportinglab.org) — Boulder's plan to use stormwater utility fees for the CU South flood mitigation project has been upheld by the Colorado Court of Appeals, allowing work to move forward for about 2,300 residents in the South Boulder Creek floodplain. The ruling affirms the fees are not a tax requiring a TABOR vote, though opponents can still appeal, and rising costs may stretch construction over five years.
2. Boulder City Council approves $5.8 million Spruce Street parking lot sale for hotel (boulderreportinglab.org) — Boulder City Council has approved selling the Spruce Street surface parking lot for $5.8 million, paving the way for a 110-room hotel at Broadway and Spruce. The deal removes 59 public spaces but adds public rooftop access, below-market space for local businesses, and arts funding, while sparking debate over parking, church access, and how new hotels fit into Boulder's future.
3. How Fatherhood Helped Dude Dad's Taylor Calmus Build a 10-Million-Follower Empire (movieguide.org) — Boulder gets a starring role in Dude Dad creator Taylor Calmus's breakout year, with a filmed special at the historic Boulder Theater among 23 live shows nationwide. The Fort Collins-based father and comedian reflects on building a 10‑million‑follower brand, why he's pulling cameras back from his kids, and how hands‑on parenting still drives his comedy and projects.
4. Northern Front Range school district leaders travel around state, country for learning opportunities (dailycamera.com) — Boulder Valley School District Superintendent Rob Anderson spent just over $9,000 on 14 conferences in two years, far less than many peers but still drawing interest as districts tighten budgets and close schools. The piece compares travel spending and conference choices for Anderson and other northern Front Range superintendents, highlighting how they justify trips as essential professional development while weighing fiscal pressures.
5. American Jews Bore Brunt of Religion-Based Hate Crimes in 2025, FBI Data Shows (israel365news.com) — Boulder is one of two cities where deadly antisemitic attacks occurred in 2025, part of FBI data showing Jews faced 63% of all religion‑based hate crimes nationwide.
