Where's Waldo? Boulder edition, part 3

So I have become a bit of an authority on Waldo in Boulder, having been contacted by three different newspapers about all of these Waldos. The Westword was even nice enough to give a little mention of the blog in their write-up - here's the link.

So the total known Waldo tally is 8 9!, though at best only 6 are still in existence.

1. Waldo at Diagonal Plaza
2. Waldo at Brewing Market
3. Waldo along Boulder Creek Trail between 30th and Foothills
4. Waldo at Broadway and the Boulder Creek Trail
(other pictures here)
5. Waldo at 29th Street Mall (according to the Daily Camera) - painted over
6. Waldo at Baseline behind Goodwill - painted over (or I couldn't find it)
7. Waldo at pedestrian overpass along Foothills - painted over
8. Waldo at 28th and Colorado - his days are probably numbered
9: NEW! Waldo at East Boulder Community Center

Here's the Waldo at 28th and Colorado, picture from the Westword:



The city is taking a hard line on Waldo - not just painting over and removing the ones on city property, but also threatening to ticket business owners who do not remove Waldo, even if they like their Waldo and don't want to remove it. I hope some of the Waldos manage to avoid the city's paintbrush - it is fun to find them about town.

Update!

And he is making new friends!
