To grow or not to grow: In Fort Collins, a warning for Bozeman’s future?
Linda Stanley doesn’t go downtown anymore.
There’s plenty to do there. Breweries galore, underground bars, old warehouses converted into hipster eateries and yoga studios — College Avenue, what serves as main street in Fort Collins, is a long way from what its founders envisioned the area would become when it was nothing more than a tiny military outpost.
But the city’s rejuvenation has brought with it symptoms that will ring familiar to those in the Gallatin Valley: The restaurants are booked, traffic is a nightmare, everything is more expensive than it used to be, parking is a gamble. It’s what Stanley likes to describe as a Yogi Berra paradox, quoting the baseball legend: Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.
