Once Open 24/7, Classic Denver Diners Are Still Closing Early


Hungry for a late-night snack? You could be out of luck, unless your refrigerator is stocked. Even as most metro Denver restaurants return to full capacity and their standard hours, there's a notable exception: 24/7 diners.
All-night joints took a major hit during the pandemic. Tom's Diner, which was already planning to close in 2020 for a major project on the property at 601 East Colfax Avenue, cut its last hurrah short and never reopened after the March 2020 shutdown; the Denver Diner went dark last November and finally announced in January that it was gone for good...at least from its 740 West Colfax location.

Famous Chef, PT's All Nude Signs Come Down on East Colfax


Denver is changing fast, as people are discovering as they start going out and about in the city again.
"I drive down Colfax all the time," writes one reader. "Noticed as they were taking apart the old PT sign..there was an older one under it. All I could see was 'Famous Chef.' Could not find anything on this old restaurant. Can you help?"
Famous Chef turned into the infamous PT's All Nude.
Sure can, thanks to Michael Roberts, who shared the story just a few months ago as the city moved forward with plans to turn the property at 8315 East Colfax Avenue, which once hosted PT's All Nude II, into a $15 million, 82-unit affordable-housing complex.

Denver's Worst Strip Club Lives on in Pricy Portland Cocktail, the Paper Tiger


Darren Polak grew up in Denver, and admits to occasionally visited the sagging strip club at 1196 South Santa Fe Drive that started out as the Paper Tiger, then in 2005 became Maxim, when the steak special on the sign out front was replaced by "Girls and Grub" — though the giant Paper Tiger sign remained above the bar. But by the time Polak bellied up to that bar, the Maxim name had disappeared, too, after a trademark tiff, and the venue was operating with no name at all beyond "Show Club."
Polak still thought of it as the Paper Tiger when he first got brave enough to visit the spot with some friends. They'd passed it while heading to Breakfast King after a night of partying, "and it was always a place that we were afraid to go," he confesses. But when a buddy moved into an apartment at Mississippi and Broadway, they realized that Denver's worst strip club was the closest bar.

New documentary highlights 'employee ownership advantage'


Merrick & Company
"The 26-minute film, produced by independent film studio gritHouse, brought the story of employee ownership to life and the studio is now considering an employee-ownership structure for their own company," the release said.
“Filming this documentary was an insightful experience for us at gritHouse,” Justin Lewis, owner and director at gritHouse Films, said in the news release. “As we heard the many inspiring stories about the benefits of employee ownership, we began to discuss how we'd like to pursue employee ownership within our company. At gritHouse, we value equity and employee ownership allows us to create a fair and equitable environment for everyone.”

Felony Charges Dropped Against Elijah McClain Protest Leaders


While there are still four outstanding investigations — on both the state and federal level — into the death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man who died in late August 2019 after a violent encounter with members of the Aurora Police Department, the only charges made in the case so far are slowly disappearing. And they were made not against law enforcement authorities, but protesters who demonstrated last summer, demanding justice for McClain.
On May 6, 17th Judicial District DA Brian Mason announced that he was dismissing all outstanding felony and misdemeanor charges filed in his district against Lillian House, Joel Northam, Eliza Lucero, Terrance Roberts and Trey Quinn. “I have an ethical obligation to only proceed on charges my office can prove and to dismiss charges that we cannot prove,” Mason says in a statement on his decision. “My job is to do the right thing.”
