Imagine my excitement when I discovered that the exterior shots in the 'Mork and Mindy' TV show from the 70s were done in Boulder, CO! I immediately made a pilgrimage to their house, the church where they were married, Mindy's dad's music store and the New York Deli. Check out the pix!

A visit to Avery Brewing Company has its address in Boulder, Colorado. But really it's in the Gunbarrel area of Boulder County. Each local brewery here has its own gig, and Avery's is lots of diverse beer types, plus a surprisingly creative and delicious kitchen! Check out the photos of their wonderful, two-story taproom.
A community's loving memorial to a beloved resident, John Breaux. A bronze likeness of him stands in the center of town as a testament to his friendliness and status in Louisville, CO. We should all be half as loved.

Come with me on a less-than-actually-spooky expedition to find a purported vampire's grave in Lafayette, Colorado, just north of Denver. Fodor Glava, who died in 1918, certainly left his mark by being from Transylvania and saying so on his tombstone.
Cheese Importers in Longmont, Colorado, was a surprisingly wonderful European experience, smack in the middle of the northern Front Range! In addition to a huge selection of local and imported cheeses, you can have lunch at the bistro or a drink at the bar. Worth every effort to get there from Denver!
