Base-Mar Shopping Center — Attraction in Boulder

I have shopped here for years, however after my experience the other day I will NEVER be returning. Nothing wrong with the shops, but the private parking company that Base-mar has hired to secure and patrol the lot is absolutely awful. I was stopping by before work the other day and stepped off the property for a very short amount of time, then returned and got a tea at the Brewing Market. I walked back to my car to find a boot on in after 20 minutes TOTAL. The security man had followed me and taken pictures of me stepping off the property, so he technically could fine me at that point, even though I was still a customer and had my receipt. I proceeded to watch him boot 5 other cars within the time I was trying to figure out what to do about the boot. The company and security worker were extremely rude, and charged me $125 to get the boot off. I don't even think it's legal to charge that much (in Denver you can't charge more than $100). Anyways, if you don't want to lose $125 DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOPPING CENTER. This isn't the first complaint, check the editorials in the Daily Camera today. Shape up Base-mar...

This is a really nice little shopping center. A lot of different businesses, several restaurants ranging from fast food to a pretty good Indian spot (Taj, check em out), and they even got a Goodwill! I found the coolest cat hoodie there today! I'll post a picture, it's lovely.

It's a great location as public transport goes, sort of a crossroads of bus routes. It's easy to get to and easy to get anywhere else from there.

Be careful around the bike path at night, five hoodlums tried to mug me there a couple years back; I gave em what-for and they backed down, but if you don't have an iron-will and the backbone of Steve McQueen, I'd avoid that area after dark. However if you DO have the constitution of a WWI veteran, you can make some interesting street friends! I ended up getting five bucks and a six pack from the aforementioned hoodlums, but I am quite brave and charming.

The Asian restaurant is...

So I'm not trying to put down the base Mar shopping center there's good stuff there you can have a Subway you can go to Wendy's you can go to Einstein's there's Taco Bell there's a pretty decent Indian place and there's actually a really good Asian food place there the hardest part is getting in and out of there as far as traffic there's only a couple directions you can get in there so plan your trip but if you're just going in cuz it's close and you're hungry you can there is also a thrift store I don't think it gets the high-end stuff so it's not on my list but it's next to a college so it probably gets beat up for...
