Some restaurant space remains vacant for months, if not years at a time, while other openings are flipped, renovated, and rented out by new establishments in the blink of an eye. If you haven’t driven by a particular restaurant for a few weeks you might suddenly see something completely new. That is exactly what happened for one downtown establishment in greater Phoenix. After all, when the majority of major sports are in full competition mode, it represents a prime opportunity for casual eateries.

There's arguably much to like about eating at a buffet restaurant. You don't have to choose just one item, you get to try many different things, and if you are going to embrace "all you can eat," then a buffet can be economical.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston was clear Saturday when someone asked during a House1000 town hall meeting what will happen to those who say no to free housing. He said taking 1,000 people off the streets with accepting an offer of free housing “allows us to focus much more rigorously on the enforcement of those who don’t (want the housing).” He said those in the grips of addiction will be offered “outpatient treatment and if not, we will get you inpatient treatment.” Johnston made his remarks during a town hall meeting at Evans School in Golden Triangle. The forum answered questions from neighbors of proposed micro community sites at 1199 N. Bannock and 1375 N. Elati.
