Rough Going in Depot Move



The Boulder Depot has less than a half of a mile until it rests at its new location on 30th and Pearl st. The move of the building took longer than expected and by the time the building was parked in the parking lot of its new location the workers had reached a 30 hour work day. This is the second time the Depot has moved locations in Boulder, Colorado, October 02, 2008.
