Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, November 19, 2025.It’s a classic, crisp Boulder morning with the Flatirons visible beneath a cloudless sky and a hint of leftover smoke up in the foothills. Let’s start with breaking news: last night, a small wildfire broke out near Realization Point on Flagstaff Mountain. Boulder Fire-Rescue crews had water on the flames overnight, and by late last night, the fire was only about two acres in size and showing limited growth. No evacuation orders have been issued, and officials say that no structures are threatened at this time. If you’re hiking or biking in the area, expect to see some emergency crews and possibly a bit of lingering smoke, but so far things are looking stable.Switching to local government and development news, Boulder County Commissioners have just voted 2-1 to move forward with selling the North Broadway Complex to ABMG, LLC for $26 million. The property, which includes the Iris Ballfields, will see changes in the coming years, but ABMG has promised to try to keep the Little League fields intact and potentially develop senior housing or congregate care on the site. Departments currently based at North Broadway will eventually relocate to Boulder’s new County Community Hub on 28th Street, aiming for greater energy efficiency and easier access for all residents.Looking for something enriching at lunch today? In honor of Native American Heritage Month, CU’s University Libraries is holding an Indigiqueer and Two-Spirit Etymology Lunch and Learn at 1157 18th Street from noon to two.

Farmers markets and grocers are stocked with late-fall produce, from squash to apples. Local bakeries like Shamane’s Bake Shoppe and Kim and Jake’s Cakes are prepping seasonal vegan treats, giving everyone delicious options for a plant-powered holiday feast. Don’t forget, many Boulderites like to start their holiday with a sunrise stroll around Wonderland Lake or Chautauqua—so plan some fresh air before the food festivities begin.That’s your snapshot of Boulder today—vibrant, active, and full of possibilities whether you want to connect, create, cheer, or just take in those iconic views.This has been Boulder Local Frequency.
