Lincoln Avenue businesses Aviano Coffee and Locals Barbershop have closed. Aviano I really liked, Locals I was intensely ambivalent about. Locals had writing on the wall — it was never busy. But there were usually a few people hanging out, which in my experience doesn’t bode well for a business. I went in twice for what [ READ MORE ]
With my new kid, I don’t have the time to keep this site fresh. So it’s yours for $750. Domain name (probably worth that alone), posts, design, site mechanics & programming, all “intellectual property”… everything. I’ll even throw in a year’s hosting for free. If it doesn’t sell at this price I’ll keep knocking it down [ READ MORE ]

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. Two people can eat like kings — and take home food for tomorrow — for just $30. It’s crazy. Saigon Bowl has something like 186 dishes on the menu. [ READ MORE ]

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 ]
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. I’ve studied him extensively and find his tastes and achievements to be nothing short of astounding, Imperial included. Sadly, the Imperial [ READ MORE ]
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 ]
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). It was popular with the late night post-club set. The thing that bugs me, besides not remembering the name, is that nothing was ever done with the property. It’s a [ READ MORE ]

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 ]
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. She caught it reading her statement, called them and got it credited back in her next statement. Then yesterday I’m reading my statement and pow: $46 charge [ READ MORE ]
