Central Boulder Neighborhood Profile
|
|
The original Boulder Downtown was built on Pearl Street beginning in the 1880's. Horse drawn carriages, saloons, general stores, churches and banks were the mainstay establishments. In the 1980's, several blocks of Pearl Street were closed to vehicle traffic and the pedestrian Pearl Street Mall was created.
Today's establishments include saloons, eateries, boutique retail shops, banks, bookstores, art galleries, espresso bars and the same churches. These half-dozen blocks really are the "pearl" of Boulder. Weekends find "street performers" that juggle fire, perform magic tricks, play music, sing, dance and make you laugh -- all in hopes of a donation.
Within a few blocks of Pearl Street you will find the Boulder Farmers Market, Central Park, the Boulder Creek path, various annual festivals, the Dairy Center For The Arts, the University of Colorado, and the North Boulder Recreation Center. Central Boulder is also home to the City's most expensive luxury condominiums.
