No more free parking at Horsetooth

The Sunrise Picnic area which was the northernmost pull off at Horsetooth (and the last free place to enjoy the reservoir) is now a $10 a day pay lot like all the others. A Larimer County annual pass is $100. $71 more than a Colorado state park pass and $20 more than a National Park Pass. I know it goes towards worthwhile projects but damn.

Local Journalism

I'm excited to announce a new initiative: a hyperlocal news outlet dedicated to uncovering the real stories of our community. We'll focus on the events, people, and issues that matter most within a 30-mile radius of Fort Collins.

Are you interested in:

Reporting? Share your passion for local journalism and help us uncover the truth.

Investing? Support our mission to provide slightly biased (because I don’t believe humans can be free of bias) independent news.

Advertising? Maybe eventually reach a targeted audience of engaged local readers.

Contributing? Share your insights, tips, and photos to help us build a comprehensive community news source.

After living here for two decades, I've realized that there’s more to our community than the polished image often portrayed by larger media outlets. I believe in the power of local journalism to inform, inspire, and empower our community.

Let's work together to create a news outlet that truly reflects the heart and soul of Fort Collins.

Share this with anyone you think is interested and let’s dig into the reality of our choice city, together!

Madre Cocina: We Are Not Worthy

Madre Cocina y Lounge is the best restaurant in Fort Collins now and it’s not even close. I tried maybe a third of the menu today and I’m debating going back tomorrow for the other 2/3. The drinks outclass almost every bar here. It’s top notch. We are so lucky to have this restaurant downtown. Get in there while you still can, I have to imagine the reservations are gonna be packed, it’s that good.

Found Wallet

Found a wallet outside a business on Harmony. Posting to see if I can find the owner and want others input.

The wallet contained no id or cards. It has cash, a pocket Bible in Spanish and a small piece of paper with a phone number scribbled on it.

If you own the wallet, describe how the wallet looks, the phone number, the Bible verse or the phone number and what businesses were nearby and I will happily return it.

Anyone else see something entering the atmosphere just now?

It was a small steady orange light that was traveling south-southwest. At first I thought it was a satellite but it was too low, too fast, and orange, not blinking. I watched it move for several full seconds before it flashed and started leaving a trail. I could see it from directly overhead almost to the horizon before trees blocked my view.

Stolen IPAD.

Just venting. So depressing but I know exactly where it is and it’s in a bldg that’s used for storage and maintenance (find my has exact location and APple Care confirmed) Filed a police report and spoke w mall security who have been no help. I had two people claim they’d help but just found out they left for the day and the keys never left the room. I’ve taken all precautions the list is long. I’ve got photos work etc on there. I bought it used and have no laptop or desktop. My work is creative and drawings for work are on there. I went to back it up on a friends computer today and realized it was gone. It was taken from the Cinemark Friday afternoon. They were amazing checked all the theaters but nothing. Such a bummer someone took it and a bummer that mall security is so dismissive. I was polite and explained my work concerns etc. Monday is going to be bad.Foothills Mall is the location.

TIL the city of Fort Collins has been paying a union busting org called Employer’s Council to train managers in union avoidance.

Ok so I learned about it from this petition:

https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-fort-collins-city-leadership-to-recognize-the-connexion-workers-coalition/

Apparently the guys who install our new high speed fiber optic internet have problems with their management lately, like their managers are trying to force them to meet weird numbers targets and are micromanaging and under-paying people. Basically they’re turning this cool service that we voted for to have an option that WASNT Comcast, into the same kind of business as Comcast!

I can’t believe the city would undermine its employees like that. I thought I lived somewhere cool.
