"Very Happy with Trane"
I bought this house in 1995 and it had a Trane xl 1200 heat pump in it. It never gave me a moments trouble but in 2008, the old system was 17 years old and I wanted to take advantage of the tax break for a new system. I purchased the 19I heat pump system at that time. I have been extremely satisfied with that two compressor system and my electric bills are incredibly low. The comfort is also better as most of the time it runs on the smaller compressor. Once again, I have had no problems at all and it performs wonderfully. I agree with one of the other reviewers that the installation makes these run well or in some cases not well. For those who have had problems, perhaps they should switch their service companies. I expect that this system will last just as long as the previous heat pump system.

"Trane? NEVER AGAIN"
I live in a St. Louis, MO condo with 103 hydronic loop heat pumps, all produced by Trane. Believe me when I say they are junk! The condensers have burned out on over 30 of them in the first 3 years of operation, and they are constantly breaking down and requiring repair for various other reasons. The local Trane rep is a flake. He has turned his back on the condo, and he will do nothing to make things right. The installing contractor, Jarrell Company, has also given up, and they can't convince Trane to do anything....and of course most residents in the buiding now think Jarrell is a flake contractor. HEED THIS WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL EITHER TRANE OR AMERICAN STANDARD EQUIPMENT. I repeat: DO NOT!!!!(I have now sold my condo and live in Foley, AL, where I am enjoying the smooth, quiet heat pump design offered by BRYANT!

"Nothing Stops Like a Trane"
The initial HVAC systems (we have 2 HVACs) installed in our home was a Janitrol. It was installed by the builder, incorrectly, which resulted in it frequently breaking down and the coils were rusting after just 5-6 years of use. We replaced it with a Trane under the assumption that we would have reliable systems. After all, nothing runs like a Trane! After investing a considerable amount to install two units, we have had the systems break down just as much as the Junkitrol, including a major repair because an initial part was weak and poorly made per repair technician. If we had not had a warranty, then this would have been quite an expensive repair. Considering that Trane is supposed to be a quality, reliable HVAC, I realistically expected to have at least 4 years of reliable service before the parts start wearing out but this was not the case. Some of the repairs were replacing the above mentioned part, replacing a capacitor in each compressor and other multiple repairs in order to recall the problems. Would not recommend a Trane nor would I ever install another Trane system in my home.

We had a problem after 4 years and it was covered by the extended warranty. But after the warranty was up, there were 2 copper tubings that rubbed together and all the freon leaked out. It cost us the service call, the repair of the copper tubings and the regas of freon. We contacted Trane and they said sorry it was not a defect. How could it not when the area was never serviced or touched?? They are not a good customer service company. I won't recommend or purchase another one. I have had friends and family want a heat pump, but after hearing my story, they went elsewhere. Trane is a bad company for service and help.

"We Love It"
We own one of the Trane Dual Fuel heat pumps/gas packs. This unit lowered my monthly natural gas bills from around $250 to $50. In doing this, it raised my electric bill by only about $10 per month. Have had no problems with the unit and it handles our "Southern Heat" with ease. I am getting ready to replace out upstairs HVAC equipment and it will be a Trane once again.

"Defect Trane Heat Pumps"
Trane is shipping heat pump units with a crimped 1/2 copper tubing. The crimped tube is located in the exterior unit, can only be seen with the cover taken off and is located on the wrong side of the charging valves. (I have photos if anyone needs them). It appears that the tube has to be bent after it is installed into the main copper tube line in order for the exterior cover to fit. For less than a dollar, Trane could purchase a machine turned 90 degree piece of 1/2" tubing than is not bent by hand and crimped. I just spent $900 for two freon charges and the labor cost to repair the copper tubing. I know enough about the Trane policies to understand that they will say the warranty will not cover this, however, in Small Claims court I can prove that it is a defective unit! I have been involved in the retail and wholesale hardware industry for 30 years, and have expert witnesses that will provide documentation that the strength of copper under pressure is greatly reduced when intentionally bent without the proper equipment. I have more time on my hands than I need, and Small Claims court will be much more costly for them than me. I am also sending the documentation to my buddies from my previous corporate life at the CPSC in Washington.

Just installed the Trane XL15i. It's so quiet you need to be next to it to tell it's running.

"Trane XL 1200"
It worked ok up until the warranty was up then everything just stopped working. Every time the temperature goes outside the 50-70 degree range, it doesn't work properly. At the first cold snap or heat wave every year, we have to call for service on it and then it will work ok for about 3 months before it starts having issues again. I have replaced so many parts on this dratted thing I could have bought a new unit from a better manufacturer. "Can't stop a Trane" ha! More like "can't start a Trane". Terrible unit, if you are looking for a new unit, don't get a Trane.

"Trane XL16i heat pump is a lemon"
I live in Florida and bought the Trane xl 16I for it's supposed better efficiency. Within one year the coolant leaked and the coil had to be replaced. Luckily that was still on warranty. Now, it has leaked again at a different location and I had to pay 200 dollars in labor and coolant charges. The installer is so disgusted with Trane that they no longer install Trane equipment due to frequent equipment failures and poor response by Trane to the problems.

Black Soft Spongy
An elegant evening clutch bag can still be practical: the oversized style is large enough for your essentials but kept neat with its fold-over style, secured with a classic Postman's Lock. A zip closure keeps everything secure and it is finished in smooth leather for a timeless look.
Soft Spongy Leather
This leather is a joy to use due to its soft and spongy texture. It has undergone a special process which gives it a gentle dimpled effect while maintaining its lightweight nature. Comfortable and trendy this leather would suit all tastes.
Light in weight.
Soft to touch.
Mulberry's advice is to regularly treat the product with Collonil Waterstop Gel, which will help reduce dirt and water marks as well as assist in preserving the natural characteristics of this unique leather.
If the surface appears dull, rub lightly with a soft, dry cloth.
Should the product get wet, please remove any residual water immediately with a paper towel, pack loosely with paper and allow it to dry naturally.
Never place in direct heat or sunlight for prolonged periods as this may cause the colour to fade unevenly.
Please avoid rubbing against fragile or lightly-coloured clothing.
Special care should be taken to prevent scratching and marking; avoid placing the product on rough or sharp surfaces.

Prosecutors in Grand Traverse County have said that there is insufficient evidence to move forward with charges against the driver who took the life of a 6-year-old boy this summer.
Zeke Goodwin from Williamsburg was riding his bike on a service road along the eastern edge of the Northwestern Michigan Fairgrounds when a pick-up truck backing up on the drive hit him.
Zeke was taken to Devos Children's Hospital where he later died.
After the accident, the Grand Traverse Sheriff's Office said they were considering charges against the driver. As of late October, however, prosecutors said they were no longer moving forward with the case.

Squeezing Harder Than That - This is some very good writing from Douglas Wilson. "Now I can understand a vote against women bishops as a preliminary move to try to undo the ordination of women priests. And I can understand a vote for women bishops as the next logical step after having established the practice of ordaining women priests. What I don't get is the affirming the ordination of women priests and opposing them as bishops. The pig, once swallowed by the python, has to move on down the line."
NFL Long Shot - This is a long article but a very interesting read. It describes the hard life of an NFL long shot.
Too Introspective - Trevin Wax wrote an article on the danger of Puritan-like introspection. Both Jeremy Walker and Carl Trueman have offered helpful responses.
Twice-Yearly Sale - ChristianAudio is having their twice-yearly sale, which means that they've got a lot of good audio books that have been reduced in price. (Lots of bad ones, too…)
Was Spurgeon Off His Rocker? - "It was a stretch you might say. A 19th century British preacher apprehended a 3,000-year-old psalm for peace and courage in the midst of dire circumstances. Andree Seu Peterson tells the story in a recent article…"
There would be no manifestation of God's grace or true goodness, if there was no sin to be pardoned, no misery to be saved from. —Jonathan Edwards

A 1,000-pound butter sculpture, sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association and Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program, depicts several of the state's top commodities, including milk and dairy products, grapes and wine, Christmas trees, fruits and vegetables. (Submitted photo / January 4, 2013) |
Hundreds of thousands of people will make their way to Harrisburg today to celebrate everything agriculture with an event showcasing livestock, modern farming methods and even some dance moves.
The 97th annual Pennsylvania Farm Show at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg opens to the public today and runs through Jan. 12.
This year's theme, "Made in PA. It makes a difference," focuses on the way that agriculture is driving the state's economy.
"This year's Pennsylvania Farm Show will show how our farm families and thousands of agri-businesses provide an affordable food supply, keep money in local communities and create jobs," Agriculture Secretary George Greig said in a written statement.
The eight-day event is America's largest indoor agricultural exposition, covering 24 acres under one continuous roof and featuring nearly 6,000 animals, 10,000 competitive exhibits and 300 commercial exhibitors. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money will be awarded to exhibitors.
Joanne Stoltzfus, 4-H/youth development extension educator with Penn State Extension in Somerset, said more than 120 Somerset County children will attend the show, many exhibiting farm animals or participating in square dancing competitions.
"It's a great opportunity for kids to compete at the state level and see how they stack up," Stoltzfus said. "The entire experience is a lot of fun."
Stoltzfus said the educational opportunities for individuals of all ages is her favorite aspect of the show.
"People need to know where their food comes from," she said. "The show allows you to immerse yourself in all aspects of agriculture. People can see the animals up close, learn about them, learn about farming techniques and vegetables, you name it."
This year's farm show will unveil new displays and exhibits. A 1,000-pound butter sculpture has been generating some buzz of late.

The Brisbane Boat Show Returns to the RNA Showgrounds in 2013
'RNA Convention Centre'
Marine Queensland

Marine Queensland is excited to reveal a new venue for the 2013 Brisbane Boat Show. From the fifth to the eighth of September 2013 the Brisbane Boat Show will return to the city's iconic RNA Showgrounds, taking advantage of new facilities as part of the venue's redevelopment.
'In 2013 the Brisbane Boat Show will celebrate 53 years of showcasing the latest that Queensland's trailerboat marine industry has to offer,' said Greg Nickerson, Marine Queensland President.
'The decision to move the event was not made lightly and comes after a lengthy consultation process with members and key industry exhibitors.'
'The redeveloped showgrounds provides a fantastic mix of indoors and outdoors space allowing us to tailor exhibition options to suit varying needs and budgets.'
The Brisbane Boat Show will make use of the redeveloped Industrial Pavilion which has been transformed into a $65 million state of the art convention and exhibition centre over two levels with the addition of over 10,000m2 of new exhibition space.
The multi-level centre offers Australian first features including a custom-built operable ceiling grid system which can significantly reduce exhibition set up time. The 30 x 9m2 frames are each capable of a 700kg load, are fitted with power and network ports and are able to be lowered by remote control.

'In recent years the costs of producing shows has increased dramatically while the ability of exhibitors and visitors to bear additional costs is diminishing. Getting the balance between cost of running the event and ensuring that the value proposition for exhibitors and visitors remains strong is increasingly difficult. This move allows the association to address these issues and lessen the burden of costs on exhibitors and visitors'.
'The Brisbane Boat Show continues to be a key retail event for marine dealerships and products suppliers in South East Queensland.'
'We aim to deliver true value through industry owned and operated events. This means that members and exhibitors can be confident that their dollar spend works twice – once at the event and secondly when the event's gate takings are reinvested back into the promotion of the industry.'
The Brisbane Boat Show was last held at the RNA Showgrounds in 1996.
In 2013, Marine Queensland will also run and manage:
- The Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show, March 15 – 17 (RNA Showgrounds)
- The Mackay Marine Festival, June 22 & 23 (Mackay Marina)
- Power, Sail & Paddle, 23 & 24 November (Manly Harbour, Brisbane)
'Marine Queensland is committed to ensuring the association's events continue to evolve to meet consumer and industry demands' said Nickerson.

Season six of Step Up to the Plate @ your library teamed up two American classics - baseball and libraries - to promote libraries and librarians as essential information resources. People of all ages were encouraged to visit their library and answer a series of trivia questions. The 2011 trivia questions connected generations by exploring baseball's more than 150-year history through topics like famous baseball families and historical baseball franchises. Learn more about the program and the 2011 winner at Atyourlibrary.org.
Step Up to the Plate @ your library was developed by the ALA and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Visit www.ala.org/@yourlibrary for up coming information about this year's program.
Carnegie Corporation of New York awarded ALA $498,000 to support the Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award. The award recognizes up to 10 librarians annually for their service to their communities, schools and campuses.
In December 2011, 10 winners were selected from more than 1,700 nominations submitted by library users nationwide. Each of the 10 award winners will receive a $5,000 cash award and be honored at a ceremony and reception in New York at TheTimesCenter. Learn more about the award and the 2011 winners at Atyourlibrary.org.
Since 2007, Smart investing @ your library has issued more than $4.6 million in grants to libraries nationwide to develop financial education programs in their institutions. The program is designed to build the capacity of public libraries to provide effective, unbiased financial and investor education resources and services to library users.
Smart investing@your library® is administered jointly by the Reference and User Services Association – a division of ALA – and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation.
The American Dream Starts @ your library program was launched in 2008 at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia and provided grants to 34 public libraries. The program is administered by the Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS).
Since the initiative was launched, 104 public libraries in 24 states have been awarded the grants. American Dream libraries serve urban, suburban and rural cities and towns ranging in size from 850 to more than 1 million. This project is managed by the ALA Office for Literacy and Outreach Services and supported by a grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
The Campaign for America's Libraries' partnership with Univision Radio, which was kicked off at the 2008 REFORMA conference, has been renewed for a third round of public service announcements (PSAs). Univision will also be working with ALA on a new multi-year public education campaign.
The American Library Association and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) are co-sponsoring a public education initiative for the international library community called The Campaign for the World's Libraries. It is based on the U.S. program and designed to showcase public, school, academic, government and special libraries across the globe. As of winter, 36 countries have joined the campaign and have had @ your library logos translated into their native languages. Learn more

Ladue School District In Deal To Sell Former Early Education Site
The Clayton Road facility was replaced by a new center in Creve Coeur.
St. Louis-based real estate firm Sansone Group and the Ladue School District have announced a contract with to purchase a 9.05 acre site in the location of the former Ladue Early Childhood Center, adjacent to Frontenac City Hall.
The school district chose the Sansone Group after a request for offers was issued in August, according to a news release. A purchase price was not disclosed, but the district was offering the property for $1.3 million per acre or for lease at $700,000 per year.
A spokeswoman for the Sansone Group said it plans a mixed-use development with the property, made up of senior living, retail and a restaurant component.
"We are very pleased to be working with Sansone Group toward the sale of this property," said Superintendent Dr. Marsha Chappelow in a news release. "While there are still a number of bridges to cross before the sale is final, I believe the result will be very positive for the school district, the City of Frontenac, as well as the surrounding community."
Development may take some time, however, as the City of Frontenac has a moratorium on development of properties along Clayton Road. The moratorium will continue to be in place at a city comprehensive plan for the area is updated.
Frontenac Mayor Keith Krieg said in an August Patch story that the city had to be careful with the development of properties because there is little land to develop.
"Whatever we do will last for decades," Krieg said in the previous story.
As for the revenue Ladue Schools would generate from the sale, a district spokeswoman said by law, that money has to be placed in a capital fund that could only be used to maintain, renovate or build facilities.
The additional revenue, in turn, would give the district flexibility to use some operating funds which would have been devoted to capital projects, elsewhere.
The Clatyon Road property has been part of the Ladue School District since 1949, and housed Early Childhood Education programs from 1982 to the 2010-2011 school year.
A new Ladue Early Childhood Center opened in the fall of 2011 on the former Westminster Christian Academy site at Ladue Road in Creve Coeur. Next fall, a 5th Grade Center is expected to open at that location as well.
7:46 am on Saturday, October 27, 2012
The price wasn't announced? Why? This is public property. The taxpayers who own it have a right to know how much we got. This district has a history of bad real estate deals. Every detail needs to be disclosed.
9:00 am on Saturday, October 27, 2012
That doesn't mean the price can't be disclosed. Maybe someone would top it.

The former Veronica Mars actress confessed that she and Shepard are disappointed that their home state does not allow homosexual couples the same rights and wants the issue resolved before they walk down the aisle.
"This is very much up to the State of California," Bell told Celebuzz of her forthcoming nuptials.
"We've been very vocal about not wanting to be married in a state that doesn't allow that right to all of its citizens. We'll wait until California gets on the right side of history."
Bell, who has joked that she and Shepard are "co-dependent", also discussed working with her fiancé again in the upcoming film Hit and Run, which he directed too.
"Seeing the man I love really accomplish one of his dreams, which is directing a real car chase movie, I wanted to give him the best performance," she said. "I wanted to be able to do what he wanted to see. So there wasn't ego involved when he was directing me."
Bell and Shepard announced their engagement in February 2010.

Two-thirds of our most hated celebrities are women, and females count for seven of the top 10 slots. What makes Gwyneth Paltrow 20 times more hateable than Chris Brown?
While the quest for fame and fortune has become a goal for many, if used correctly, Twitter and other social mediums can help form the connections and opportunities the person may need to reach their goals.
I need to be honest about something right from the jump: I'm not a fan of Justin Bieber (*braces for the full wrath of the Bieliebers*).
"Fiction has put up a valiant struggle over the years to be stranger than actual current events," said Fiction spokesperson Mickey Solls. "But frankly, it's decided that the time is right to throw in the towel. Congratulations, Truth -- you win."
Glee's Matthew Morrison, a featured face of the Artists for Education special, credits two teachers at his performing arts school with the inspiration for his on-screen character, Spanish teacher and glee club coach Mr. Schuester.
The pop sensation is in the news for writing in the guestbook at the Anne Frank museum that the young Jewish woman was a "great girl" and that she would be a "Belieber" if she were alive with him today. A question comes to mind in the present frenzy: Can anything be sacred?

I have spent months trying to find Star Wars underpants featuring strong female characters for my tween. I'm still looking. If she were in the market for, oh, say, highly inappropriate sexy thongs, she would be awash in options, such as Victoria's Secret's "Bright Young Things."
Sure, I have real insight, as I am also the senior editor for an online social media magazine, but I won't be giving you any of it, so just stop reading right here and save others from reading your comments about how I "mislead you and then wasted your valuable time."
I think that at the end of the day, we have to remember he's just a 19-year-old boy. I feel sorry for him! He's two years older than me.
There are a lot of things that are popular and commercial, but aren't very good. Or are just good enough. Consider Justin Bieber: It's not that the kid isn't talented; it's that he's only just talented enough.
Six members of the Russian parliament, their wives and adult children had planned a monthlong, $1 million vacation in Canada fishing, hunting, and stopping in Montreal for plastic surgery.
The entire show was about Justin Bieber -- and "SNL" is at its worst when the show is about the host as opposed to the host integrating him or herself into the cast.
Parents now have another thing to worry about with their kids and technology -- celebrity "swatting" calls.

Highway 8
Reconstruction and Widening: Grand River to 401
Public Information Centre: PDF (Pages 27-30)
Sunday night was as bad as I ever seen it. I was turning to University from King at night under the rain and I had to stop half way through the turn to carefully scan for the line markings.Originally Posted by DHLawrence
They have 3 lanes open now going into Kitchener. No more 5 o'clock slow downs for me!
No kidding.
I've literally gained one hour of free time per week.
Big gain as this was one of my most annoying slowdowns from Leslie/401 to 8/85 daily.
Over the past few weeks, they've paved the final lane of the original bridge and removed the concrete barriers. Doesn't seem to be much left to do until they can open up the 4th lane coming into Kitchener. They've also patched up the section by the King Street on ramp where the centre lane did a nice dip which wasn't for the easily-nauseous.
Anyone else find there to be a scary moment on Highway 8 westbound in the bend before the bridge? Especially at night, the current lane markings are less visible than the old lane markings, and some of the cars seem to follow one and some seem to follow the other. I won't be surprised if there is a multi-car pile-up in this area.
I really don't get why the lane markings in this province (country?) are so poorly visible.
Plenty of invisible lane markings in California too. But yes, now that you mention it, that particular spot does have invisible lane markings. I was thinking that they would fix them eventually, but maybe they don't plan to.Originally Posted by mpd618
I've been meaning to bring this up too. I had a pretty crappy experience driving it a couple weeks ago during a torrential downpour. I had to guess at where the lanes were. For some reason, the scraped up lines do seem to be more visible at night than the current painted lines. I'd hate to be driving that stretch for the first time during poor visibility at night. At least my familiarity with the road helped me but a poor shmuck driving it for the first time wouldn't have much help in that stretch.Originally Posted by mpd618
I drive this area every day for my commute and the other thing I've noticed is that nearly no one abides by the temporary 80 KM/Hr limit. I have trouble keeping up to the traffic sometimes at 110-115. The region could make a killing in that area if they ever set up some sort of trap.
+1 on the lane markings on 8 West @ the bridge. They are horrible!
I've seen in other cities that not only are white lines painted on, but black marks, too - so that in all sorts of weather conditions, at least one kind of mark is still visible. I really wish we had those sunken reflectors - those work wonders. There used to be a section of 403 outside of Hamilton that had them a few years back (I think they've been removed); they were so bright!
I wonder about that 80 km/h limit. If you look at each sign that indicates 80 km/h, some part of it is blocked with black bags - either the "Maximum" above the number, or the "km/h" below it. That makes me think that, legally, they cannot reduce the limit - and it's just a "suggestion", and by blocking off parts of it, it could be argued that they are not legally binding signs. I'm just speculating, of course - but why else would they cover certain words on those signs, and leave the rest exposed?
My guess it that it'll all be fixed when they pave the final coat, which will probably be next year. If you look at the barriers on the median and right side, you'll see that they still need to add a layer.
Those were more than likely removed by snow plows. They are a great tool but tend not to last more than a year or two in SW Ontario even though they are sunken. The reason the lanes are hard to fgure out now is due to the removal of the old lanes by cutting into the pavement to put in the newer lane direction with markings. There should be another layer of the balck stuff going down before consutruction is finalized. I recall having the same issue with the the first phase of Hwy 8 construction many many years ago but this was fixed with the final layer of pavement went in.Originally Posted by Duck
Well all 4 lanes were open heading into Kitchener this morning. And it looks like they have redone the lane markings. At least they looked new. The catch basins are still currently raised along the bridge indicating they may actually put down the top lift of asphalt this year. Couldn't imagine they would leave them like that on a major highway for an entire year.
Was driving out of Kitchener at lunch and they were making saw cuts around all of the catch basins in and out of town. This means they will be raising them in anticipation of the top lift of asphalt being applied. That will be nice.
Looks like they've finished all paving in both directions as of this morning. There's a few random cones left, but there's hope that the speed could be raised back to 100 soon.
Construction signs are gone and speed's back up 100 both ways as of Saturday morning.
About time! I guess I can go back to goingOriginally Posted by timio100km/h120 km/h on highway 8 again.
"Only the insane have the strength enough to prosper. Only those that prosper may truly judge what is sane."
Anyone have any inklng about westbound access to or from 401 in the near future? I am amazed this highway is essentially 50 years old and there is no western link.
It's part of the long-term plans for the 401, along with widening to 8 or even 10 lanes through the area. How long it will take is anyone's guess.
The thread for that is here: http://www.wonderfulwaterloo.com/showthread.php?t=64Originally Posted by Drake
If memory serves me, the project is essentially ready to go, they are just waiting for funding to be allocated; however, this project was not listed in MTO's plans for the next (5?) years, so it is likely at least that far out.

What makes an entrepreneurial ecosystem flourish outside of Silicon Valley? Can startups be successful anywhere in the U.S.? While "anywhere" may be too tall a task, there seems to be growing evidence that startup communities are getting stronger throughout the country.
A September 2012 study from the Kauffman Foundation examining 30 years of Inc. 500 firm data showed a high numbers of fast-growing firms in concentrated in unexpected locations—like Salt Lake City, Indianapolis and Buffalo. That study pointed to a presence of a "highly skilled labor force" as the most critical factor—without it, factors like venture capital investment, research universities and federal R&D funding weren't worth tracking.
This week, five "lesser-known entrepreneurial hubs" get a look from The Accelerators blog's "Discussion of the Week: Heartland U.S.A." on WSJ.com—starting with Boulder, Colorado.
Seven "mentors" weigh in on the topic on the opening day:
Cohen points to a "unique" approach for Boulder that may not truly be unique, but it's definitely working.
"Boulder has developed a reputation for its distinctly "open door" nature and inclusive ecosystem. Everyone has something to contribute. There's a true spirit of community, with everybody helping each other, giving back, making introductions and sharing information with others."
Sheinbaum gives a nod to Boulder's community of entrepreneurs and its creative thinkers, but also gives credit to supportive state and local government—particularly for its relaxed tax and regulatory environment.
The rest of the Heartland U.S.A. series will explore Memphis, Washington DC, Omaha and Portland, Oregon.
