No, it's all open mostly. The only place else that comes close is Fry Street in Denton, TX.

Let me put it this way, hippies and kooks everywhere.

Many of them are very obvious about why they hang out there: to be looked at. ...remember what that nutty manhater hung on her little clothesline in the Library a few years ago? Some decent people have to make a living there, but the People's Republic of Boulder is too weird for me.

I go there every couple of weeks or so in the summer just to sit and watch. Have you ever seen the guy who dresses up like Gandalf the Grey? Too strange. Thank God I live in Longmont.
