5 Mom and Pop Restaurants in Greeley, Colorado that Locals Swear By
Greeley, Colorado — a city where the plains meet the Rockies, where the scent of alfalfa and barbecue drifts through the evening air, where murals bloom on brick walls and the laughter of families echoes from porch to porch. Here, the city’s heart beats in the rhythm of college students, ranchers, teachers, and newcomers — all drawn by the promise of wide skies and neighborly spirit. The architecture is a patchwork: red-brick storefronts, sun-warmed bungalows, and the ever-present sprawl of farmland that frames the city’s edges.

A midnight compromise from 1938 Harlem became the flavor formula the food industry lives by
Chicken and waffles had been on American tables long before Wells Supper Club opened in Harlem in 1938. Wells built a late-night version that jazz musicians sought between sets, a midnight plate caught between dinner and breakfast. Oct. 20 is National Chicken and Waffles Day, and the sweet-savory combination Harlem’s after-hours kitchens helped define has become one of American food’s most enduring flavor pairings. Chicken and Waffles. Photo credit: Pocket Friendly Recipes. The chicken-and-waffles combination made sense late at night back in 1938. A jazz musician finishing a late set had missed dinner and was hours from breakfast. Fried chicken was dinner, and waffles were breakfast. At two in the morning, the plate that was neither was the one that worked. Herb Hudson opened Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles in Long Beach in 1975, bringing the Harlem combination to a West Coast audience. Over the next decades, the dish spread well beyond its Harlem origins, appearing on menus across the country before the early-2010s brunch wave gave it a permanent slot. By the 2010s, the dish had traveled from a late-night jazz club counter to brunch menus in cities that had never heard of Wells Supper Club . Hot

The return of CLTP’s “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”: Celebrating Tim Curry’s legacy and self-expression, from stepping onstage to fishnet and heels
CHEYENNE — “I see you shiver with antici-” Tim Curry cuts himself off and smiles at the camera. Susan Sarandon leans forward. The camera cuts between her face and Curry’s. At the Cheyenne Little Theatre Players’ “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” dress rehearsal, the crew — who have obviously seen the film many times — scream, “Say it!” until … “–pation.” In front of the Historic Atlas Theatre stage, Adrian “Ace” Smart mimics Curry’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter, lip-syncing the iconic line as “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” plays on a large screen behind him. Beside him, Tracy McEwen, who portrays Sarandon’s Janet Weiss, leans forward in sync with the film, waiting for the final syllable. Usually, CLTP puts on the decidedly vulgar, yet wildly popular interactive movie-musical for late-night audiences every year close to Halloween. However, anticipation for the CLTP shadow cast’s return has had time to build, as renovations to the Historic Atlas Theatre last year prevented the 2025 CLTP “Rocky Horror” from taking place. Also, in August, legendary stage and film star Curry died at age 80. Curry originated the role of Frank-N-Furter in the stage musical before reprising it in the 1975 film adaptation. So 2026 is the
