If you're a lover of books, or just a lover a locally owned, cherished, brick and mortar businesses, visit the Boulder Bookstore.
To me, one of the main factors that makes a town appealing is lots of locally owned businesses. When I drive thru a town and all I see is Best Buy, Target, Costco, Walmart, etc., it just feels like there's no character. If you feel the same way, the only way to keep places cool is to spend a little more to shop at local businesses like this one.
And since they have a decent number of used books, sometimes you find great deals.
Boulder Bookstore isn't just locally owned, it's also a beautiful building - especially the top floor where they host events - and they have a great selection of books.
I will never forget the first book reading I went to there because I had no idea the upstairs was so spectacular.
