No
matter how green a thumb, it’s impossible to grow tomatoes in December —
outside. For thriving thumbs that refuse to go dormant in the winter, Way to Grow can
help set up the perfect, organic, indoor grow room. Even if you know
nothing about gardening, Way to Grow can get you started on converting
an unfinished basement into a thriving greenhouse or bring an overgrown,
forgotten garden back to life. Anyone can be a gardener with the right
tools, and filling that toolbox starts with the supplies at Boulder’s
best hydroponic store.

Forget what you were looking for? Maybe it was something shiny and glass, and Mile High Pipes and Tobacco will
help you figure it out. Maybe it’s just a tobacco pipe, maybe it’s a
Roor “water pipe” with an ice catcher — no matter what, you can probably
find it at Mile High.
Need
a hat made of hemp? Runner-up The Fitter, located on the Hill, has
accessories galore to complement that color-changing glass pipe you just
had to have.

Call it Game of Smokes. A
power vacuum opened in this category with the departure of Eads News
& Smoke Shop, a perennial winner that closed in 2012. The throne
abandoned, last year’s runners-up began a dramatic battle to capture the
title of top tobacconist. We assume. In the end, the new king is Smoker Friendly, the
regional chain that offers its own SF brand of cigarettes, cigars,
smokeless tobacco and accessories, as well as all of the national
brands.
