Certain restaurant chains catch fire, spread rapidly throughout the country, and then, little by little, begin to fade away into the distance as if the chain never existed. You can probably think of a few off the top of your head. When was the last time you saw a Ponderosa? Even classic chains like Chili’s and Applebees are starting to fluctuate. Well, one restaurant in greater Phoenix suffered from massive shutdowns and budget slashes and ended up on the cutting room floor. However, the restaurant has returned to the Valley and is hoping to capitalize on a new direction for the brand.

The Denver City Council voted Monday to purchase 300 tiny homes for $6 million. Mayor Mike Johnston requested the purchase as part of his House1000 initiative. Council member Amanda Sawyer asked last week to postpone voting on the tiny homes so the council could tour the factory, which is in Denver. Sawyer said the tiny homes are “really, really bare bones but they are thoughtfully designed, and it really indicates how hard the staff is working to come up with solutions that are trauma informed.”
