 BOOKSPOSITIVELY PEARL STREET |
| Take your front row seat for a trip back in time! Boulder began like any other typical western frontier town, but even before the dust settled its residents called their city the “Athens of the West.” Its educational, cultural, and health resources (combined with a magnificent mountain backdrop) shaped Boulder into the city we know today.With a focus on the area between 8th and 21st streets, you too will view, firsthand, the changes in transportation, events and activities, and art and architecture as Pearl Street evolved from mud to mall. "Positively Pearl Street" is a lovingly researched photo album of a historically significant American main street, revealing its people, vitality, events and adaptation. The book provides a glimpse into Boulder’s founding values – natural beauty and a continued emphasis on education, while sustaining a balance of body, mind, spirit, and place. From these principles, firmly planted in the nineteenth century, has evolved an additional emphasis on health, outdoor sports, stewardship, natural foods, technology, science, and entrepreneurship, all of which define Boulder today. Pearl Street, once Boulder’s commercial artery, has become its cultural heart and soul." Richard Foy, Co-Chair, Communication Arts, Inc.
