North Boulder is way outside the geographic limits of this blog, but it seems to fit within the general mood of showcasing abandoned properties. At 2880 Diagonal Highway in Boulder sits an abandoned restaurant that was a Furr's Restaurant, and may have been a Lazy Dog Bar in the '90s. It has been abandoned since at least 2004, I think. There are weeds growing through the cracks in the parking lot. My impression is that this building is hopeless and will be torn down. The nearby troubled Diagonal Plaza has lots of empty parking spaces and doesn't need anymore.
This is in the "poor" (relatively speaking) section of north Boulder. It is so far down on the economic scale that they actually allowed a Walmart in. This building is within about 200 feet of the front entrance to the neighborhood Walmart.
There is something really wrong if a building sits empty for 13 years. And Boulder certainly isn't immune to problems.
