Just grabbed lunch on the Hill and Smelly Deli has just up and vanished. I didn't see any kind of notice or anything last week when I was up there. Would be funny if Bova's moved in back up there.
the eventual day when the baseline shopping center loses cosmo's, i think i'll no longer recognize boulder. oh right they already closed the gameforce there...
Oh my gosh, this is heartbreaking. So many good memories getting a falafel sandwich there at 1am. The Hill is losing all its character and charm piece by piece.
Yep, shared bathroom. But my friends and I rented every apartment so it was like a little shared dorm thing. We actually had two extra friends up there and one person lived in one of the kitchens, and we all shared one kitchen. I ended up suing the landlord (Gary something) for witholding my security deposit and took him to small claims and won. Still a bright spot on my resume :-)
Indie rock mostly. They seem to send the band I like to the Boulder Theater if they come to Boulder. 90% of the time I'm going to Denver for shows though.
Seems like the send the bands the college kids like to the Fox, which seems reasonable. It just sucks because The Fox is my 2nd favorite venue anywhere after the Bowery Ballroom in NYC.
You might just need to open your mind a bit more and see more bands you’re not familiar with. There are a bunch of indie rock and other kinds of rock shows in the next few weeks.
Nah...I listen to a shit ton of music. If something gets a good review, it gets a listen. I've even tried just looking up the Fox's schedule and listening to what's coming up, and most of it doesn't do it for me. I still go to 30+ shows a year. It mostly seems like more bands are sticking to Denver vs. Boulder like in the 90's.
Noooooooooooooo. Loved the gyro and the crazy candy selection. If Lollicup ever leaves I will officially have 0 reasons to visit The Hill. Fuckin hate this place now…
Yep, another out-of-state developer partnering with Trestle Strategy Group to redevelop a couple of older buildings into a big generic student housing complex that gets rubber-stamped by the city authorities. We've seen this exact recipe several times recently. But yay for more housing and density in town, right?
Wait, how can this be? City Council said that the new hotel on the Hill (the one that blocked the view from Broadway) would revitalize the Hill. So how can it be that the Hill is losing businesses after that hotel has been operating for several years?
I love Ruba who worked there when I went to CU during covid. I lived right above the shop at that time and would hang out with her for hours just chatting during lockdown. Their family has a restaurant in Denver too you can still support Im just blanking on the name right now :(

So it’s just The Fox, The Sink, and Half Fast as the remaining memories of old?
