Food Scene Heating Up

The food scene is once again heating up in the neighborhood.  Super excited that Colorado Plus has reopened after their extensive remodeling project. Love going back to the original menu with the amazing burger. I’m still iffy about the full and no service but I’ll take it. I sit at the bar anyhow. I do

“Time it Was… and What a Time it Was”

For whatever reason , I was expecting so much more from 24, but I am grateful for every year and what it brings. New businesses to our town, new families moving in on our streets. No doubt that this year’s elections was a relief to some, a gut punch to others and the rest just

Two Be or Not Two Cee

With the constant stream of proposals and regulations up for debate in this election season, it can be challenging to keep track of what’s actually on the ballot—let alone decipher all the opinion pieces circulating online and at community meetings. Each side accuses the other of spreading misinformation, lying, or concealing key facts. This piece,

We Are One

It was just past the Syracuse, New York exit on I-90 when Bruce made a terrible vibrating sound. I quickly pulled over the side of the highway.  It was Saturday and so most places I called were closed. But I did google VW-EuroVan near Syracuse and got on the Eurovan FB to ask for help.

Why are We Paying for the Arvada Aquatics Center?

In December of 2021 the Jeffco School Board voted to partner up with the City of Arvada and APEX Recreation (funded 50% by property taxes) and build a 35 million dollar swimming facility for the residents of Arvada. This was to replace the aging Meyers Pool. Much was written about the issue. Who was footing

It’s been a year since the world witnessed the barbaric acts of the Hamas terrorists upon a music festival and families in a small town in Israel. Thousands murdered, raped and kidnapped and still more than 100 hostages kept and tortured in those tunnels. It was the largest number of jewish people killed in one

Bad Jews?

Wait what? You can just imagine my reaction when the Wheat Ridge Theatre company asked me to run an ad for their next play titled “Bad Jews”. I mean our city is already home to one of the largest Nazi music distributors in the country, and I’m thinking “now what???” Turns out it’s an award-winning

Vivian Community Looks to Turn Closed School Into a Park

Last year Jefferson Board of Education voted to shut down 16 elementary schools. This was a way to save 12 million dollars.  Among them, Kullwerstrand and Wilmore Davis in Wheat Ridge, Vivian (also known as Classic Academy) in Lakewood, were ones that Wheat Ridge families had attended.  The plan was to consider 2 buildings every

Wheat Ridge Olympics

I am a self-confessed Olympics junkie. Having attended 2 Olympics in person, I follow them every 2 years and still not sure whether I prefer the summer or winter versions. This year’s Summer Olympics in France produced more world records and social media footage than ever. Yes, it’s easy to harp on the complaints of

The Restaurant Shuffle Continues

So much has happened in the last few weeks in the local food scene. New places have popped up and a few have sadly closed down. Wolf and Wildflower wine bar (7190 W. 38th Ave.) has new owners but have kept the same name and delicious wines flowing and they have now added coffee in

The Measure of Friendships

Losing friends or making friends based on their political beliefs is unfortunately quite common these days. In fact disagreeing with someone will almost certainly sever that relationship and have you labeled as a “negative” person. This was by far the most talked about topic at our Gazette booth at RidgeFest and The Edgewater Music Festival.

The Cop Shirt

Being part of the Wheat Ridge team, presenting at the All America City Conference, was a huge honor. We were asked to each wear a “Wheat Ridge t-shirt”.

Majority Votes to No Change in Existing Waste Hauling Program

Kids have a bad habit of asking for something over and over and over until parents break down and say “OK”. Some may experience these battles in shopping centers, restaurants and of course at home. The energy from both sides spent on a very predictable outcome, while funny sometimes, is an absolute drain on everyone

What Happened to Thank you?

I walked out of the restaurant and held the door open for the person walking in… And he just kept walking. I said “you’re welcome” and got no reaction back. What happened to “thank you?” Letting someone into your lane during traffic, there used to be a wave of a hand, as if to say

Welcome to my Street

I live on a street that has everything. Cats and dogs, squirrels and birds, kids, babies, families, young and not so young. We probably use three or four different waste pick up companies. We drive different cars and have different homes. Some days we cross the street and talk with our neighbors. Sometimes we cross

For most of our “best of” contests, we had been receiving lots of votes but on just a few submitted names. Meaning that there were not many opinions or that everyone agreed on a handful of choices.
