Well, they sort of are, but no one who lives in Nederland would say they live in Boulder, or vice versa. The towns have very different character. Boulder is more extreme liberal hippy, and Nederland is more I-can't-deal-with-the-law- or-society's-conventions-even-in-Boulder-so-I-moved- to-Nederland. And I'm surprised that the Keep Boulder Weird website lists the CU 4:20 as smoking pot with near impunity, since the campus had cameras out there last year and punished every student they could identify. In other words, even the people in The People's Republic of Boulder think the people in Nederland are weird. Which is saying something.
