But after graduation, new job opportunities drew us eastward. Our plan was always to return to 麻豆影院, but what started out as an anticipated five-year stint in New Jersey stretched to 10 and continued across multiple states as our careers progressed.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Now, after three decades, we鈥檝e finally moved back. And while we were expanding our horizons, growing professionally and raising a family, 麻豆影院 was growing, too. We kept an eye on our town from afar, but now we have the opportunity to see and experience the changes firsthand.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>The university鈥檚 campus has grown both in size and reputation: CU has doubled down on research, now boasting five Nobel laureates, and has gained international recognition. Students have so many more options for courses, programs and opportunities. The number of buildings, dorms and parking structures has also grown exponentially, and what were once empty fields filled with prairie dogs is now the thriving research hub of East Campus. Other notable changes include the expansion of Folsom Field and the shifting of school colors from sky blue and gold to a more sophisticated palette of gold, black and gray. Even the journalism school (where I studied) has been reincarnated as CMCI.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Things off campus have changed, too. The town of 麻豆影院 has put itself on the map. It consistently ranks as one of the nation鈥檚 top college towns, is a hotbed for entrepreneurial and innovative endeavors, and is currently in contention to host the Sundance Film Festival.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>While change is inevitable, it鈥檚 bittersweet to see some of the transformations: Friday Afternoon Club (FAC) events at the Harvest House hotel are no more, Tulagi鈥檚 on The Hill is gone, the Kinetic Sculpture Challenge race folded, Crossroads Commons has been razed and reconceived as the 29th Street Mall, and the Pearl Street Mall no longer boasts many of our old haunts.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>That being said, the myriad of new restaurants, experiences and shops to explore seem boundless, and old favorites like Peppercorn, Trident Booksellers and Caf茅, and Into the Wind remain. Mike鈥檚 Camera is still nearby, and The Sink is as vibrant as ever!</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Daily, I meet fascinating people, motivated students and inspiring colleagues. 麻豆影院 is bikeable and walkable 鈥 and who can deny the spectacular view?

I鈥檇 arrived a week earlier from my home in Seattle to spend the summer guiding for the 麻豆影院 Rock School. It was my first day, and I was nervous 鈥 not about the climbing (though I鈥檇 be leading clients up routes I鈥檇 never climbed before), but about the drive.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was July 2001 (when paper maps were still a thing), and I didn鈥檛 know Broadway from Baseline. And though I鈥檇 been guiding in Washington since the mid-1990s, I feared being 鈥渇ound out鈥 as an outsider in Colorado. Nothing scared me more than getting lost en route to one of the country鈥檚 most famous climbing areas with a van full of clients paying good money for local knowledge.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>To my immense relief, all went well that day. So well, in fact, that by the time another week had passed, I鈥檇 ditched the map and had logged dozens of routes in Eldo (mostly 鈥渙nsight鈥 guiding), 麻豆影院 Canyon, the Flatirons and on Longs Peak. I couldn鈥檛 believe the volume and variety of climbing so close to town. I would guide in the morning, climb with friends in the afternoon and repeat. I鈥檇 never climbed so much in my life.&nbsp;</p> <p>Admittedly, I used to roll my eyes whenever I heard 麻豆影院 being called the 鈥淐enter of the Universe鈥 for American climbing. It couldn鈥檛 be that good. But by the end of that summer, my skepticism had turned to pride: I owned 14 guidebooks covering thousands of climbs, all within 90 minutes of 麻豆影院. I felt like I was just getting started.</p> <p>So I did that classic 麻豆影院 thing: I never left.</p> <p>I stayed because being a climber in 麻豆影院 feels limitless; it means as many different things as there are climbers.

The hydroelectric plant on the left, the pipeline up on the hillside, the reservoir at the top of the canyon 鈥 and 麻豆影院 Creek at the heart of it all. Fascinating, right?! She listens to me good-naturedly every time, and I hope one day she comes to appreciate the intricacies that go into providing that clean glass of water she sips every morning.&nbsp;</p><p>The 麻豆影院 community enjoys a high-quality and reliable drinking water supply due to 150 years of visionary planning. However, as the climate shifts, the challenge of providing clean and reliable water becomes increasingly complex.</p><p>麻豆影院鈥檚 drinking water originates from alpine lakes, reservoirs and the 麻豆影院 Creek headwaters west of the city of 麻豆影院, as well as from the upper Colorado River. Each year, approximately two-thirds of 麻豆影院鈥檚 water supply comes from 麻豆影院 Creek and one-third from the Colorado River. Water from these sources flows via pipes to one of 麻豆影院鈥檚 two water treatment plants before it is sent to customers for drinking water or irrigation use.</p><p>While 麻豆影院鈥檚 multiple water sources offer flexibility and resilience in the face of climate change and extreme weather events, the city of 麻豆影院 is actively<a href="https://bouldercolorado.gov/services/water-conservation?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=redirect&amp;utm_campaign=bouldersaveswater.net" rel="nofollow"> pursuing additional ways</a> to secure its water supply.&nbsp;</p><p>One way is through protecting our sources to ensure safe and high-quality water. As most of 麻豆影院鈥檚 water supply comes from outside the city, 麻豆影院 partners with many organizations and community members to improve forest health and reduce pollution to creeks and reservoirs.&nbsp;</p><p>Other ways include investing in 麻豆影院鈥檚 water infrastructure (some components are over a century old), promoting water-saving measures 鈥 including using water-saving fixtures, fixing irrigation system leaks and landscaping with low-water-use vegetation 鈥 and strategic planning. 麻豆影院鈥檚 Drought Plan, for instance, helps the city respond to water shortages and preserve water for high-priority uses such as human health and safety, maintaining creek flows and trees.&nbsp;</p><p>Water management in the western United States is an intriguing puzzle. While I thrive on the challenge, I鈥檓 most gratified by the mission of serving a community that prioritizes sustainable use of this precious resource. Through collaboration, innovation and engagement with passionate community members, 麻豆影院 is addressing climate challenges to safeguard its water supply for future generations.</p><p><em>Kim Hutton (Chem, EnvSt鈥98) is the water resources manager for the City of 麻豆影院.&nbsp;</em></p><p><a class="ucb-link-button ucb-link-button-gold ucb-link-button-default ucb-link-button-regular" href="/coloradan/submit-your-feedback" rel="nofollow"><span class="ucb-link-button-contents"><i class="fa-solid fa-pencil">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;Submit feedback to the editor</span></a></p><hr><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p>Photo courtesy the City of 麻豆影院</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><hr></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>Kim Hutton, water resources manager for the City of 麻豆影院, reflects on what it takes to provide water for 麻豆影院.</div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <a href="/coloradan/spring-2024" hreflang="und">Spring 2024</a> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Mon, 04 Mar 2024 07:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 12220 at /coloradan Betty Woodman, Master Potter and 麻豆影院 Legend /coloradan/2023/11/06/betty-woodman-master-potter-and-boulder-legend <span>Betty Woodman, Master Potter and 麻豆影院 Legend</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-11-06T00:00:00-07:00" title="Monday, November 6, 2023 - 00:00">Mon, 11/06/2023 - 00:00</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/coloradan/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/article-thumbnail/betty-woodman.jpg?h=56d0ca2e&amp;itok=_804rEFa" width="1200" height="800" alt="betty woodman"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/coloradan/taxonomy/term/78"> Profile </a> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/coloradan/taxonomy/term/444" hreflang="en">Art</a> <a href="/coloradan/taxonomy/term/168" hreflang="en">麻豆影院</a> </div> <span>Allison Nitch</span> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div> <div class="align-right image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/coloradan/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/2024-10/betty-woodman.jpg?itok=Di40-GMl" width="750" height="500" alt="Betty Woodman"> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p>Betty Woodman in her studio in Antella, Italy, 2012.</p> </span> </div> <p>For decades, 麻豆影院ites have enjoyed affordable ceramics education programming at the 麻豆影院 Pottery Lab, perched in the University Hill neighborhood within the historic Fire Station No. 2.</p><p>The hub of local creativity began as an innovative vision of the late Betty Woodman 鈥 master potter and CU 麻豆影院 professor for 30 years. Upon moving to Colorado, Woodman persuaded the city of 麻豆影院 in 1954 to open a recreational ceramics program that grew from seven students to 400 in 15 years. In her tenure at CU 麻豆影院, she most likely taught thousands of students, said Scott Chamberlin, ceramics professor.</p><p>鈥淪he mentored some of the most important artists and teachers in the nation,鈥 Chamberlin said. 鈥淵ou will not find a ceramic artist who has studied American ceramics that does not know [of] her, many personally.鈥</p><p>Originally run by the Parks and Recreation Department for over 60 years, the 麻豆影院 Pottery Lab was the first city-supported pottery program in the country. In 2015, the Parks and Recreation Department entered a public-private partnership with Studio Arts 麻豆影院 to manage and operate the facility.</p><p>Throughout her rich career spanning nearly seven decades, Woodman became known for altering the perspective of pottery from functional objects to fine art. During her time as a postwar American artist, her work was showcased worldwide in more than 100 solo exhibitions, including a 2006 retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which gave her the unique distinction as the first living female ceramicist to receive such an honor.</p><p>At CU 麻豆影院, ceramic objects acquired during Woodman鈥檚 three decades of teaching are displayed as part of the Woodman Study Collection in the Visual Arts Complex.</p><p>鈥淒uring critiques, her hands were never still 鈥 she was always touching the pieces on the table,鈥 said Jeanne Quinn, a former student of Woodman who is now a professor of ceramics at CU 麻豆影院. 鈥淪he used her senses with amazing precision.鈥</p><p>In honor of Woodman and her legacy at CU and in the 麻豆影院 community, the university created the Betty Woodman Fund in 2023 to support emerging ceramics artists and faculty professionals in the ceramics program. The fund also provides stipends for the Woodman Artists Residency, which provides one to two artists the opportunity to stay and create art for several weeks in the former home of Betty and her husband George Woodman, located in the rural Tuscan region of Italy.</p><p>鈥淔or her, ceramics was the crown jewel in all of the arts, the one that allowed touch and taste and sight and sound,鈥 said Quinn. 鈥淪he showed this to us.鈥</p><p><em>To support the Betty Woodman Fund, </em><a href="https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/50245/donations/new?a=8421085&amp;amt=50.00" rel="nofollow"><em>visit here</em></a><em> and note 鈥淏etty Woodman鈥 in the comment section of your gift details at checkout.</em></p><p><a class="ucb-link-button ucb-link-button-gold ucb-link-button-default ucb-link-button-regular" href="/coloradan/submit-your-feedback" rel="nofollow"><span class="ucb-link-button-contents"><i class="fa-solid fa-pencil">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;Submit feedback to the editor</span></a></p><hr><p>Photo by Betty Woodman Collection, Woodman Family Foundation Archives, New York.

Although, in the late 1950s, most people seldom let it get past $20, Parker never squawked, and a couple of people, it is told, ran it up to $100. But as long as you paid Parker before summer break or made some arrangement with him, it was OK.</p><p dir="ltr">I have only heard it referred to as the Pied Piper once or twice. True enough, the red letters above the door said that, but nearly everyone called it Parker鈥檚.</p><p dir="ltr">Parker 鈥 a small man with ruddy cheeks and a hard-worked face 鈥 worked every day from 6a.m. to 6 p.m. except on Friday afternoons, when he closed at 2 p.m. because that鈥檚 when many of his customers were drinking.</p><p dir="ltr">Parker鈥檚 place had seven stools, a cash register and a small upraised counter on the right side of the diner where 鈥渢he book鈥 was kept. In addition to the money owed for food, various bets were placed under different customers鈥 names. One could open the book to their name, for example, and the total owed would be near the bottom of the page: 鈥$13.72.鈥 The right side of the page could read, 鈥淲hite Sox to win the pennant, $5.鈥</p><p dir="ltr">The place had a small grill where Parker cooked hamburgers, eggs, ham, bacon, steak, hot dogs and morning rolls. He turned the grill on in the morning with a pair of pliers. He had a tin to cook poached eggs, along with a toaster, coffee pot, small freezer, shelf for rolls and pies, and a milkshake maker. That was it. The menu remained the same; the prices remained the same. You could get a hamburger steak dinner, which included a double hamburger portion, fries, bread and butter, soup or juice for $0.65 or a small steak with the same extras for $1.25.</p><p dir="ltr">You had to take two napkins and throw them down on the fries before you ate them. But you only did this when Parker was facing the grill, otherwise he鈥檇 tell you to 鈥済et the hell out鈥 if you didn鈥檛 like the food. <strong>Jack Wyrick</strong> (A&amp;S鈥61) was the expert at sopping up the grease before Parker turned around.</p><p dir="ltr">But everyone, especially CU athletes and fans, went to Parker鈥檚. His coffee was good, his prices were cheap and, of course, you could eat on credit.</p><p dir="ltr">The last time I ate at Parker鈥檚 was the summer of 1960. Sadly John died suddenly in January 1962 and Parker鈥檚 was no more.</p><hr><p><a class="ucb-link-button ucb-link-button-gold ucb-link-button-default ucb-link-button-regular" href="/coloradan/submit-your-feedback" rel="nofollow"><span class="ucb-link-button-contents"><i class="fa-solid fa-pencil">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;Submit feedback to the editor</span></a></p><hr><p>Photo courtesy Carnegie Library for Local History</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>In the late 1950s, a tiny diner on The Hill called the Pied Piper was a hangout for CU students.</div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Related Articles</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <a href="/coloradan/fall-2023" hreflang="und">Fall 2023</a> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Mon, 06 Nov 2023 07:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 12087 at /coloradan 10 麻豆影院 Bars聽 /coloradan/2023/10/09/10-boulder-bars <span>10 麻豆影院 Bars&nbsp;</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-10-09T13:04:53-06:00" title="Monday, October 9, 2023 - 13:04">Mon, 10/09/2023 - 13:04</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/coloradan/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/article-thumbnail/coloradanlistof10_1_47.png?h=e91a75a9&amp;itok=qjpvUeDE" width="1200" height="800" alt="Coloradan list of 10 logo"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/coloradan/taxonomy/term/932"> List of 10 </a> <a href="/coloradan/taxonomy/term/164"> New on the Web </a> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/coloradan/taxonomy/term/168" hreflang="en">麻豆影院</a> </div> <span>Kiara Demare</span> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-above"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/coloradan/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/article-image/coloradanlistof10_1_15.png?itok=spT3bOCQ" width="1500" height="938" alt="Coloradan list of 10 logo"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-text d-flex align-items-center" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p class="lead">&nbsp;</p><p class="lead"><span>麻豆影院 has been known for its unique nightlife for decades.

And this was for a spring game 鈥 held about five months after the Buffaloes turned in arguably the worst season in the program鈥檚 rich history, and four months before the Buffs were set to kick off the 2023 season with a whole new set of expectations.</p><p dir="ltr">The reason, of course, was the new coach in town 鈥 Hall of Famer <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/12/04/1140637036/deion-sanders-head-coach-colorado-hbcu" rel="nofollow">Deion Sanders, hired on Dec. 2</a> to reinvigorate the CU program. He鈥檚 done that already without yet coaching a real game.</p><p dir="ltr">A total of 47,277 fans attended the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/cold-snow-colorado-buffalo-fans-folsom-field-deion-sanders-prime-time/" rel="nofollow">sold-out spring game at Folsom Field</a>. The comparative numbers are staggering: An estimated 1,950 fans watched the previous year鈥檚 spring game. Even fewer, an estimated 1,000, did so in 2021. The most recent spring game attendance would have been the third-biggest crowd at Folsom during the 2022 regular season, and it was less than 600 fans off from topping the No. 2 crowd in 2022.</p><p dir="ltr">In fact, the previous seven springs combined featured an attendance of 30,450. This year, the Buffs鈥 spring game was the only one in the nation broadcast live on ESPN, and the Buffs have suddenly become a regular feature on national talk shows.</p><p dir="ltr">Already 鈥淐oach Prime鈥 has done the impossible. CU football once again is relevant nationally. What does it mean for 麻豆影院? There will be a significant financial impact, but anyone who has been trying to rent in town or who pays property taxes understands the city isn鈥檛 exactly hurting.</p> <div class="align-right image_style-small_500px_25_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle small_500px_25_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/coloradan/sites/default/files/styles/small_500px_25_display_size_/public/2024-10/fb_2023_04_22_spring_game_td-142.jpg?itok=9Sk7zOI-" width="375" height="469" alt="Spring Game"> </div> </div> <p dir="ltr">Still, new revenue streams will help both the city and the campus (CU hadn鈥檛 even sold spring game tickets since the 1980s). And football often remains the gateway to major universities. Like myself, my wife, <strong>Andrea Nozykowski</strong> (Jour鈥99), is from South Bend, Indiana. She fell in love with CU 麻豆影院 while watching the epic Notre Dame-Colorado battles of the late 1980s and early 1990s, then following the <strong>Rashaan Salaam</strong> (Soc ex鈥95) and <strong>Kordell Stewart</strong> (Comm ex鈥95; BA鈥16)-led Buffs while she was in high school.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">Much to the chagrin of her parents, she traveled the roughly 1,100 miles to 麻豆影院 for college, in large part because of what she watched during football games. She graduated from CU in 1999.</p><p dir="ltr">No doubt, the buzz is back. If Coach Prime sees his vision through, the Buffs will be as well.</p><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr"><a class="ucb-link-button ucb-link-button-gold ucb-link-button-default ucb-link-button-regular" href="/coloradan/submit-your-feedback" rel="nofollow"><span class="ucb-link-button-contents"><i class="fa-solid fa-pencil">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;Submit feedback to the editor</span></a></p><hr><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p>Photos courtesy Tyler Davis, CU Athletics</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><hr></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>On April 22, 麻豆影院 became something it hadn鈥檛 been since the early 1990s: the focus of the entire college football world. </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <a href="/coloradan/summer-2023" hreflang="und">Summer 2023</a> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/coloradan/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2024-10/banner-fb_2023_04_22-spring-game_td-159.jpg?itok=HT9uhi7p" width="1500" height="563" alt="Spring Football Game Banner"> </div> </div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Mon, 10 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 11976 at /coloradan Carter Snelson Walked All of 麻豆影院's Streets /coloradan/2023/07/10/carter-snelson-walked-all-boulders-streets <span>Carter Snelson Walked All of 麻豆影院's Streets </span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-07-10T00:00:00-06:00" title="Monday, July 10, 2023 - 00:00">Mon, 07/10/2023 - 00:00</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/coloradan/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/article-thumbnail/banner-dcc-l-carter39.jpg?h=28b0a6b6&amp;itok=AjClauII" width="1200" height="800" alt="Carter Snelson"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/coloradan/taxonomy/term/56"> Gallery </a> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/coloradan/taxonomy/term/168" hreflang="en">麻豆影院</a> </div> <a href="/coloradan/christie-sounart">Christie Sounart</a> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-above"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/coloradan/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2024-10/banner-dcc-l-carter39.jpg?itok=Z9Te4xOF" width="1500" height="563" alt="Carter Snelson banner"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-text d-flex align-items-center" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p dir="ltr">As a college sophomore in late 2020, <strong>Carter Snelson</strong> (Fin, RealEst鈥23) <a href="https://www.dailycamera.com/2023/04/30/university-of-colorado-boulder-student-carter-snelson-hoofs-it-through-entire-city/" rel="nofollow">decided to walk every one of 麻豆影院鈥檚 labeled city streets</a> using the city鈥檚 zoning map.
