South Pearl Street is sad to see Seven Cups close it's doors. We are excited about the upcoming changes to the street including the Pearl Street Grill (PSG) and Izakaya Den "location swap," Park Burger's expansion and Makan Malaysian Food opening. Here is a link to a recent Westword write up:

We already have a world class medical school in the Denver metro area - the University of Colorado medical school at Anschutz is one of the top in the country.

Like you said, the idea that adding another medical school will contribute to solving the primary care physician shortage is misguided. It is simply a new profit stream for DU.

So disappointing... we went to the Botantical Gardens last year and we let down--multiple lights out, displays just ordinary. We had calendar Hudson for this year--so it's a pass, pass, pass.

Great list. Thanks for sharing.

[a little late]

I understand the rationale(s) behind the organic foods movement -- no one wants to be poisoned, and I am concerned about sustainability, but the belief that organic foods are invariably superior, or worse, that non-organic food is poisonous are erroneous and, more to the point, they are affectations which poor people simply cannot afford. The price differential between King Soopers and Whole Foods on many items exceeds 100% -- paying double means budgeting a lot more!

I do walk around Whole Foods, mostly as an exercise in self-mortification, but I have discovered some bargains. Non-organic butter and Horizon whipping cream are generally cheaper at Whole Foods than at King Soopers. Whole Foods' Three-Bean Coffee (while maybe not quite as good as Daz Bog's Czar's Blend) is passable and substantially cheaper. I am delighted to find a few staples at reasonable prices at Whole Foods.

Thanks for the great post. BTW, Denver Urban Homesteading is not a non-profit -- they're a business.

The reason the two events are being held on the same day is because last year Denver Botanic Gardens invited Denver Urban Homesteading to partner with them on the first chicken coop tour. This year Denver Botanic Gardens scheduled the coop tour again. They asked Denver Urban Homesteading to participate, but decided they wanted to reach out to other sustainability groups for partnership as well. Denver Urban Homesteading didn't like this development, so their response was to offer a competing chicken coop tour on the same day.

Hi Robert, thanks for reading along. This is a tough topic and your point is well taken. Yes, clearly the best discounts are at mainline grocery stores like King Soopers. But some people are really concerned about pesticides and genetically modified ingredients and are willing to budget a little more $ for higher quality foods or convenience (like bagged lettuce). Take care!

If you're even halfway broke, it's crazy to shop at the (generally quite pricey) stores you cite; it's called aspirational shopping. Several of the things you cite are expensive after being discounted. Poor people would be well advised to buy the ingredients for salads instead of buying a bagged one, even if there's a dollar off coupon, e.g. Frequent the mainline grocery stores (after exorcising fears that they are poisoning you, of course) and you can really cut your food bill.

2010-12-06T10:03:29.112-07:00

For those lawyers who do offer the service, it is now more expensive for their clients because it takes more of their time. This means that you will pay more for bankruptcy under the redesigned bankruptcy laws. For example, bankruptcy lawyers now have to personally attest to the accuracy of the information provided by their clients in the bankruptcy courts. This means that they have to take the time to personally research all of the information provided by their clients. The more time a lawyer spends with a client's case, the more that case will cost.
