It appears that a struggling chain may have recieved a desperately needed lifeline. The restaurant industry has been in a tailspin since covid, especially in the casual dining and bars segment. Many major chains have been heavily discounting food and drink in order to bring people in. Recently TGI Fridays has $5 Happy Hours and appears to be doubling down on the bar scene again. Some of the chains also have gone above and beyond lowering margins and in some cases quality to keep the lights on. With this latest move, it seems that the single bar scene may have new life, we learned one of the world’s largest casual dining companies that proudly serves guests with over 850 restaurants in more than 55 countries was about to be taken over.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

You’ll never guess which state just took action to consider funding sober homeless housing: None other the nation’s liberal left coast. If that’s not surprising enough, it’s a Democrat who is sponsoring the bill. California Assembly member Matt Haney of San Francisco wants drug-free housing projects to be able to compete for state money. Right now, those receiving funds must adhere to a “Housing First” philosophy and not turn anyone away for not being sober.

Cleanup crews dismantled a homeless encampment at 8th and Navajo in Denver last week without offering the inhabitants anywhere to go. The city swept the encampment because they said it had become a public health hazard.
