CO people - Casa Bonita coverage from the government

[pixy0stix]

Am I the only one finding it weird just how much our government is throwing their weight behind Casa Bonita? I get that it's Polis' pet project, but when all is said and done, it's just another business.

It is very strange. So many restaurants have closed, why is this one different?

I will say I’ve never been. DH grew up in Denver and said it was just okay.

I think part of it is being a trendy thing to be in the know about, maybe to get the attention of the youngsters? Either way, it’s annoying.
Also, I didn’t catch the actual speech, but the mention of the 150 year State b-day? That would be 3 years away (I’m a bi-centennial baby), why is he mentioning it?

Also, I grew up here and have never been. Closest I got was time in the last few years at the brewery next door.

Casa Bonita before was fun to go to because you knew it was a tourist trap, and you knew the food would be bad. Plus the place smelled uniquely of chlorine and mold. With the new place, I dunno man. And the claim that it's going to employ 500 people, really? Where are those people going to come from?

I never went before and I don't really have any need to go now. I guess because it's a Colorado icon Polis is getting behind it, maybe like if something happened to Buckhorn Exchange or something.
