With a population of 85,000, Boulder, the home of the University of Colorado, sits nestled in the midst of the Rocky Mountains just a few miles northwest of Denver. Since 1998 it has been more widely known as the home of JonBenet Ramsey than for the many scientific and technological concerns---both governmental and private---that have their headquarters here. Indeed, much of the city's present-day economy is linked to these industries. Yet, Boulder still has the feel of a college town with an arty, liberal tradition. Locals are outdoor oriented (the city has 25,000 acres of parks and other green spaces) and are almost as likely to ride a mountain bike as drive an SUV.
