Brown Palace Layoffs, Saving El Chapultepec, and Your Fave Grocery Stores

It’s Tuesday and we’re talking about the biggest stories of the week. First up, downtown is going through a rough patch, and while that can be challenging for many businesses, others see opportunity! Westword editor Patty Calhoun joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about the brewing fight over plans to demolish Denver’s most storied jazz bar, El Chapultepec, and the shocking news that The Brown Palace just laid off all its doormen and bell staff. Plus, we hear about listeners’ favorite grocery stores in the city.  The Denver Post published an editorial yesterday calling for El Chapultepec to be preserved.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.
