Yet another reason why Louisville formerly held the title of best place to live in America (my guess is that we didn't get it for 2010 because Money magazine just couldn't keep giving it to us year after year!):  no parking problems. City council is actually considering a reduction in the number ...

View of Devil's Thumb from living room!   It's that time of year - University of Colorado at Boulder students are looking for the perfect housing.  Here in Boulder, students often live off campus for at least 3 years of their studies.  Many of these students (or their parents) realize that the c...
