It’s been a month since we bought The Boulder Monitor. In that time, we have taken a crash course in newspaper publishing; with a lot of help from Jan Anderson, we’ve managed to get five issues out our door and into your mailboxes. You may have noticed that we’ve already made a few changes to the paper’s appearance.
We’ve also learned much about Boulder and Jefferson County: What people are talking about; what the big challenges are; what the data says about the area’s past and present; and what folks are doing to shape their future.
We now know, for example, that there is a persistent economic rift between the towns of Boulder and Whitehall and the unincorporated areas to the north. We know that Boulder remains tethered, for better and worse, to the future of the former Montana Developmental Center. We know that Boulder rocks the house at Jefferson High basketball games. We know that the steaks at the Windsor are pretty much as good as they get.
