I just discovered that Longmont's Prospect neighborhood was voted "coolest neighborhood" in the USA in 2002 by Dwell Magazine

A recent article, Who Can Afford America's Perfect Neighborhood? references Prospect's fame. 

I am put in mind of two communities where so many people work there, but can't afford to live in them: Boulder and Santa Fe. It's always seemed to me somehow just fucked up.
