CU housing expansion plans will close the Dark Horse

If you ask me, the City should acquire the Hooters, Ralphies, Harpo location, and let the Dark Horse buy it on the cheap, to raise it and rebuild with some good incentives. Of course they won't do that b/c the City would have to build a parking structure for the DH. What a cluster. All the iconic places are going away. Let's hope the Sink stays. It is nice to see the University Hill Neighborhood Association is starting to get the Heisman by the City. Maybe more places pop up there too!
The city or any government entity should stay out of the real estate business period!

Is that a blanket statement? Because I enjoy having public lands and green belts. I also see the need for public/ government buildings and schools/ universities/ fire/ police. I don't see how we have those things without government entities being in real estate. But I think we're in agreement if you were only responding to the idea of governments buying and leasing commercial real estate.

Here we goooo
 
What's the redevelopment plan for that hotel on the 28th street ramp off of Baseline?
 
the site owners are correct i would think in their contention that the current dh building would never meet code. that has probably been true for decades and decades.

this relocation idea is fine, i suppose, but you seriously cannot relocate the years and years and years of accumulated karma created by generations of folks passing through there.

the "new" dark horse will have a hard time vibing like that. but it is better than no dark horse at all.
 
One of my roommates senior year at CU worked in the kitchen and he used to bring home food for all of us (four housemates). Occasionally he'd bring home a 5 pound brick of muenster cheese that we'd devour in about three days.

That's probably why they went under...
 
Grew up going there with my dad before games. Pretty soon Boulder is going look like any other generic front range town.

Only reason I'd do anything in Boulder is CU athletic contests these days. I went to the Hill a few months ago thinking the sports apparel stores were still there including the bookstore and it seems like they all closed down. I feel like I can get better CU gear outside of Boulder these days.

I miss the Boulder of the 1990's.
 
And you haven't mentioned a run in with bed bugs. Congrats!

Seriously, I've stayed at both the Broker Inn and the Harvest House in recent years and both are abhorrent disgusting piles of wretch.
Our stay was great the room was clean and updated and in great shape. We were in a wing that I think was largely empty probably because it was needing massive renovation but everything was great.
 
The owners were doing well but let it fall into disrepair. Sucks that they let it get that way.
A lot of businesses could be more significantly more successful but the owners don't want to make the investment. In a lot of cases the end game is much more about the real estate than the business itself.

A lot of the big box stores fit that description. I'm sure you could list a lot of car dealerships that have owners who are just waiting for the right offer.
 
Again, the degradation of the physical space is a big part of its charm. The fact that I can walk into the Dark House today and it will look exactly as it did 30 years ago is a feature, not an issue.
