sans souci

It is an oddly truncated biography that says nothing about Adams’s abortive crusade, during the 1780s, to discredit a Boston social club called Sans Souci, where the city’s new elite pursued pleasure rather than virtue.

At Washington’s upscale Sans Souci restaurant, business was “dragging” during the hearings, its maître d’ said, because people “were home watching television.”

When the Sans Souci mobile home park near Boulder’s scenic Flatirons was purchased by a corporate landlord in 2018, residents weren’t given a chance to make an offer.

The Sans Souci residents’ work soon paid off.

But in the two years since Colorado’s opportunity-to-purchase law went into effect, only Sans Souci and two other parks have been sold to residents.
