Yeah I think cleaning it up is possible, I just wonder when/if it will get to the point that enough people realize the current people in power aren't the type to do it.
I can't really think of any big cities besides NYC in the 90s/00s that have made significant progress in this realm. Of course everything has its pros & cons.

Damn, $2 beers at rock bottom on Tuesdays.

Haven't paid $2 for a decent beer in a long time.

5 beers, 2 kids meals (with homemade Mac n cheese, not from the Kraft box), a pizza and a Bavarian pretzel app, $50 pretip.

It's like 2010 all over again!

Are houses going back to 2010 prices, too?

well my mortgage loan is still $1400, so...

anyone else hopping on to get some metallica tickets this morning?

I have decided I'm taking my kids (they'll be 9/10). They both seemed kind of excited to see them.

Grabbed four in section 310

Not Metallica but I did score some primo Weird Al tickets at Red Rocks

I am so happy I'm going to be able to go back to school and graduate (SHSU) so I can coach and teach for real. I've been about 7 classes away from graduating for about 13 years, now.

I had no idea they don't have tackle football in middle school here. LOL. Oops. I prefer High School anyway and I'm fine with the $5k stipend, but it would have been nice to at least have a larger pool to choose from. And no way I could coach flag football.

I'm curious how long it's been that way, or has it always been? Is it state wide or a district or county thing?

I think it's a pretty big push nationwide.

Several states have tried to ban it altogether.

any opeth fans on this board?

I got 2 tickets, offered to take a few texas friends but no bites. Let me know if you're interested. No cost, just buy me a beer inside

I've got my in-laws in town and we're talking about driving up to Denver for the day. Anyone know if their TX Tag will work on the I25 express lanes?

If you mean reduce the cost of the toll to the price of having an Express toll tag, it won't. They're completely separate tags.

Yeah TxTag doesn't work. We got a bill for my wife's vehicle 2.5 years after we moved and the car had long been sold lol it never had express tag but had a txtag

Buccee's eyeing I25/county line near palmer divide.

Saw that the other day, bout 30 minutes from my house. I know the NIMBY folks in monument and Palmer lake are not pleased.

My BIL lives in Monument and he was telling me how upset people are about it. "It's going to ruin our sleepy little community".

It's on the i25 corridor between CS and Denver so it seems inevitable, in my mind.

it doesn't seem like a good spot to me.. that's about the worst spot on I25 south of denver as far as winter weather and closures.

Trinidad or Raton need a Bucees

Buc-ees probably welcomes that, they'll be more than happy to welcome in everyone stranded. They've already put a couple truck stops in there already.

In Raton off 25/87 would be awesome. Couple old dumpy gas stations there they could replace easily on the east side.

I'd love that. Those gas stations suck.

But I don't think that area has enough traffic for a buccees.

Supposedly the Xpress toll tag now works in Texas. Haven't tested it yet, but read about it

https://kdvr.com/news/colorado/colorado-expresstoll-transponders-will-now-work-in-these-3-states/amp/

This makes it sound like expresstoll can be used in Texas and TxTag can be used in Colorado now as of June.

Unbelievable loss. Only the effin chiefs.

Brutal!

It's about time something good happened to the damn chiefs.

Bucees is trying to land the sw corner of I-25 and county line rd just north of monument, and people losing their sht about it out here.

Just giving an update on the Bucees conv.

What are they upset about? It'd be awesome to have it there but obviously I don't live down there. I'm about 30 minutes west of the one they built up north. Like going there, but it's close enough to the house that we wouldn't have a need to stop there when heading north up 25. It's provided a lot of decent paying jobs to the area and although people up here were upset a Texas company was moving in, it's always packed.

I live less than an exit away from this location and I agree with the locals here. That location is on the edge of "the gap", and nobody wants to see that level of development right next to a huge nature preserve. It's also the most dangerous section of I-25, the weather is always the worst right there. I don't get why they don't take one of the lots by QT on baptist.

Are those lots big enough?

TheVarian said:

The ones behind QT should be. Falcon Commerce Center or something… but looks like that is zoned industrial, so may not be allowed.

Looking at it from google maps, that location doesn't look near big enough. I also don't think Buc-ees would do a location behind another store like that. They would want full frontage and as shown with the north location, they'll put in their own access roads for it.

I drive back there for inspections on that eagle rock distribution center, seems like they have a ton of room back there, but I haven't looked at lot lines. Pretty sure they'd have to get a zoning change anyways for it to be an option. And yeah it's not frontage but it's not hard to get back there now that they have that roundabout in.

The last developer to come along for that county line road location received a lot of pushback from the community, and they ended up not moving forward. They were trying to put in high density housing. The locals seem to be much more upset about it being a Bucees, so we'll see.
