This Place is Everything that is Annoying about Boulder.
The Feng Shui is Whack
I’m not sure what my favorite thing is about this review: that the critique of the supposedly hippie-dippy-high-as-a-kite Boulder, Colorado café is highlighted by the charge that Atlas Purveyor is crowded (surely, a sign of success and doing things right for any business?) or that it’s Feng Shui is Whack.
If you’re going to take down something for being high-as-a-kite n’ hippie-dippy, best leave your nominal understanding of the art of ancient Chinese spacial relationships out of it?
It’s brrrrilliant: made my day—particularly considering that Atlas posted it, with good humor, right in the middle of their huge chalkboard community events and art wall.
“This Place is Everything that is Annoying about Boulder.” All I gotta say is Yelp needs a fourth category, for Awesome:

Hiya, I’m really glad I have found this information. Today bloggers publish only about gossips and web and this is actually frustrating. A good site with exciting content, that is what I need. Thanks for keeping this web-site, I’ll be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can’t find it.
Hunh. I was born and raised, until I was 13 at least, in Boulder, and personally speaking Atlas represents both the best of old Boulder—it's community focused, unpretentious, warm, generous, eco, creative—and new. Brand-new. It's easy to stereotype Boulder—or, for that matter, the midwest, or Brooklyn, or SF, LA etc…but the facts of life in any city or town are known only to those who take the time to swim beneath the surface.
IMHO, Boulder's still worth it. That said, it's a battle.
Amen. A sense of humor, good service, creativity, killer Americanos, Topo Ranch hosting my dog next door…it's my new fave.
