College Ave., one of the businesses hardest hit by the riots.
Boulder is such a beautiful, kind, fun, eclectic place to live.
About 1,500 people, most of them University of Colorado students, rioted Friday night and Saturday morning, and another 500 rioters took part in a melee in the wee hours Sunday morning. As Dagdelen and other Hill merchants pick up the pieces, they are worried about the actual damages and unseen losses their businesses sustained. And some worry that the Hill's image, on the upswing in recent years, has been tarnished by the weekend's mayhem. No one knows the total cost of other damages, such as the loss of merchandise, damaged furniture and repairs to building exteriors and interiors. Dave Thomas, president of A.S.A.P. Emergency Glass Service Inc. of Arvada, said his company is repairing 180 to 190 windows on the Hill.
