LONGMONT FARMERS MARKET FTW
I really enjoyed reading your article “Sibling rivalry” (Nibbles, June 15, 2023). I agree that the Longmont Farmers Market is a fun market for family and kids. I’m a musician and have lived in Boulder since 1974. I can’t believe how much Boulder has changed and I feel sad. Longmont feels a bit like Boulder did in the 1970s.
On Saturday when we played music at the Longmont Market, kids and adults were dancing to our music! And on our breaks we got to visit the awesome vendors and eat a great meal! It’s a great set up for playing music under the shelter.
I especially would like to thank the Longmont community for their generosity! Besides being so fun and engaged, we always collect great tips in Longmont, which is interesting to me as so much wealth has moved into Boulder and tips at the Boulder Farmers Market hardly compare. Thank you, Longmont!

TECH JOBS IN ILLINOIS
I have a question regarding the letter in the June 8, 2023 Boulder Weekly, “Bridging the Confidence Gap in the Tech Market.” Why is Hannah Johnson in Downers Grove, Illinois trying to recruit people for tech jobs in Boulder, CO? Seems like there are plenty of people working in tech jobs here in Boulder, recklessly driving their expensive cars (often with expired out of state license plates) and living entitled lives. Maybe some ought to move to Illinois and work at home from there.
