It was not a declining or aging congregation or financial matters.

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.

I frequently write about restaurant closures, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a violation like the one that caused the closure.
