Saigon Bowl Damn good, damn cheap. Usually those adjectives don’t go together, or at least raise an eyebrow or two, but this time isn’t one of them.

Go Here if You Love Credit Overcharges

Heaven Nails and Spa on 3rd Ave in Cherry Creek… my gf called them to ask why the credit card statement says $100 when it should be around $40. They said they’d call back, and never did. So a week later (today) I call — after all, it’s my card she used. Same thing: we’ll [ READ MORE ]

FLW and the Imperial Hotel

And now… for something that has absolutely nothing to do with Denver… If you want to get your mind off Denver (or reality) for a time, try reading about Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

Lakeside Photos

Went to Lakeside on Sunday for the first time since, oh, 1982 or 1983. For the rediculous entry fee of $2.50 you get… actually more than you’d think. Yes, it’s old, rundown, and desperately in need of repair (everything). Yes the Cyclone is closed. The Fun House I FONDLY remember is gone. But the people watching is [ READ MORE ]

Anyone remember the diner at 8th & Broadway?

I think it closed in 1995 or so, and was razed soon after in anticipation (?) of the property being developed into something more profitable (speculation).

Real Estate Guy/Friend Scott Harding

In an unconscionable misuse of Denver Connects, I’m going to go ahead and say get a house before interest rates start heading back up, and use Scott Harding to do it. I’ve known Scott since 1994 and he’s a real people’s person: honest, good sense of humor, and he knows Denver like nobody else*. I bought a [ READ MORE ]

Beware Wok To You Credit Card Charges

Careful with your credit card if you order from Wok To You on Alemeda and Logan. They charged my girlfriend $100 extra on one charge a few months ago.
