Boulder, Colorado, my home town.

A lot of people think of Boulder as a hippy paradise, full of pot smoking idlers lecturing those who wear fur and eat meat. While it's true that Boulder is home to Naropa University, a Buddhist school, it's also home to Soldier of Fortune magazine!
Boulder became famous when Frank Shorter, a Boulder native, won the Olympic Marathon at the Munich games in 1972 and endurance athletes of all disciplines and nationalities have trained here ever since, attracted by the great weather and high altitude. It has a low crime rate and very relaxed public nudity laws. It's no accident that Boulder has been named the happiest town in the U.S.
We moved here almost 30 years ago, our only regret is that we didn't do so earlier.

P.S. It has no Walmart!
