Local establishments

Today's blog will be about local establishments, located in: you guessed it- Cheesman Park.

The first of two that I will be highlighting will be Lik's Ice Cream. Located at 13th and Vine, this little local beauty is an establishment that you have to try! Check out their website here: http://www.liksicecream.com. From what I can read, it is handmade 14% butter fat ice cream, in many different flavors. It starts with vanilla to espresso almond fudge, and everything in between. A great try, and of course, Colorado Local.

The second, several doors away is Wyman's #5. With no actual website, it is the epitome of your local joint. The owner is the proprietor of The Irish Hound, the Elm, Three Dogs Tavern, and Spot Bar and Grill. With decent food, and a variety of beers on tap, there is little you wouldn't like about it. It isn't busy, but pays the rent- which means it is a bar, that is open. If you live in Cheesman or Cap Hill, an easy, safe walk gets you in and out, sans problem.

My apologies on lacking in the blogging field. I have been tied down with the DNC and doing some bike racing. I am sitting at the 2nd place spot in the Summit Mountain Challenge Mountain Bike series, which means I will get a neat photo, if I finish well next week! Hooray!

Thanks for reading!

Marion Street problem fixed!!!

In an earlier post, I reported that a specific lot was completely neglected. It was overgrown, poorly maintained, and a complete eyesore on the block.

Great news!

The lot has been mowed. Still awaiting any development plans or actions, but at least it doesn't look like the Amazon Rainforest anymore.

Short and sweet!
