I received my unofficial minutes from the recent Broomfield City Council meeting and thought I would share some of the notes I found interesting. It appears that that service area for the ZIP Shuttle at the Flatiron Mall will be expanding. For those of you who don't realize it, mall shoppers pay ...

If you're like me, you often drive by areas in Broomfield and note all the construction work going on and want to know what the heck they're doing. (Of course if you're really like me you keep hoping for another Taco Bell - the one at 120th and Sheridan is just toooo busy.) If you'd like to know ...

  I don't know about you but I love to rent movies from the Redbox movie rental boxes for $1. I tend to frequent the boxes at the WalMart at 136th and Huron and the McDonalds at 120th and Sheridan.

I want to take the time to point out to everyone just how much the Animal Emergency Referral Center in Broomfield ROCKS.On Sunday I noticed that one of the wild bunnies who hang out in my yard and provide the cats with hours of entertainment (it's like television for them) was limping. He let me ...

I did manage to sneak away from my desk on Sunday and visit The Reserve at the Broadlands and I have to say, these are some very slick homes! They’re patio homes which I personally am usually not too crazy about (the dog and all) but I really liked these homes. Besides you can opt for a split rai...
