The Gifted School

Perhaps this grievance is unique to those who have lived in Colorado, but this story centers around the unique culture of Boulder - the 1%ers striving for authenticity through exercise, nature, food, and ethical shopping, reliant on those who can't afford to live there to keep the city functioning - but renames the town. Pearl Street Mall is rechristened Emerald Mall, the Flatirons are now the Redirons, Boulder is Crystal, etc. This drove me B-A-N-A-N-A-S. We all understand what fiction is - just use the city's name, for pete's sake.
