How do you kill a dead horse?   The DT, after the forming of the taxing district, has been the provable sand box to play in and to spend the money the district created.   The civic center is well on its way of being the BOK center and many of the merchants will be replace by new affiliated duplicated businesses under control of the  arena.   It is time to pack up as there is more moving on the horizon.  It's called progress.

I saw they have added signs on 4th for every business showing how to get to them.

The mayor works for free.

I hereby vow to eat at the Steakfinger House for lunch every weekday for the next month.

Assuming of course my arteries last that long...

She still deserves one.
Maybe she should sling some hash for a while.

I love their chicken fried steak sandwich. It is great and less than three bucks including tax.

Re: Pomodori's.  That's the last thing Al needs after Camarelli's closed up.  I didn't think access was that bad when we ate there last.  Has it gotten trenched out since we were there?  I didn't really pay attention when we drove down Cheyenne on Friday night, I was too busy scoping out a parking spot.

He makes a fine breakfast.

Today I had some onion rings with my chicken fried steak sandwich. They were big and wide and perfectly golden brown.

And the need for help goes on...

In July (the end of), street work on 4th street from Denver to Detroit will begin. This will be a complete removal and replacement (down to the road bed).

All the businesses along the path will certainly appreciate and welcome your support -- all the way from the Coney Island to Pomodoris to Steakfinger's, Domino's, Long's, Tulsa Shoe Rebuilders, Subway and Sorano's, etc.

Also note that complete road bed removal on Denevr from 3rd to 13th starts in late July as well...

Cheers and Many Thanks for your support!!!
