LONGMONT 411

Hi foodies in Longmont Colorado today I have some good news to share. If you love Mexican food the popular place Teocali cocina is about to open up on 5-25-2024.  They are located at 460 main st in downtown Longmont.  Hours they are open 11:30am- 9pm.  They also have two other locations in Arvada and Lafayette.  I have never eaten here but from what I heard most of the food is gluten free or can be made gluten free.  They recommend that you make reservation online.    From what I saw on the menu it looks good a little bit more on the pricy side but this is modern and hip place.  Most of the tacos were around $5. But they had dishes you don't see at other place like mango habenero cerviches, blistered shistito peppers, big eye tuna wraps, pork bell tacos,  They also have main dishes like Adobo tuna, birriria de res it has braised beef short ribs and bone marrow, pork shank and more. Most main dishes were around $22-$25.   They also h...

Yes, in Colorado, people can buy alcohol on Christmas Day from stores. In 2022, Colorado laws changed to allow retail liquor stores, liquor-licensed grocery stores, and liquor-licensed drugstores to sell alcohol on Christmas Day, as long as they are normally permitted to sell alcohol on Sundays. This change in law applies to: - Retail liquor stores - Liquor-licensed grocery stores - Liquor-licensed drugstores However, it's important to note that individual stores may still choose to be closed or have limited hours on Christmas Day, so it's a good idea to call ahead or check their social media or website to confirm their holiday hours. Additionally, some establishments may have special holiday hours or events, so it's a good idea to check ahead of time to plan your holiday celebrations. Thanks for reading the free news

Hi foodies in Longmont.  I got good news for people who love chicken wing and fries .  For a limited time buffalo wild wings is doing all you can eat boneless wings and fries for $19.99.  Is only available for dining inside and only on Mondays and Wednesdays.   For $19.99 is this really a good deal?  A 10 piece boneless wings is $13.99 and for 20 piece is $27.99.  So you have to eat atleast 20 pieces or more to make it worth it.  After couple beers and drinks and lots of fries how many wings do  you think you can really eat?  Lmk if you think this is a good deal?  Did you notice they can only offer boneless wings but not the real chicken wings? Many think boneless wings are chicken nuggets?  

Hi everyone let me show you one of the most dangerous neighborhood in my city of Longmont Colorado.  That place is Countryside village manufactured mobile homes  located at 1400 south collier st.  Over the years they had number of shooting and last year a child was shot in a drive by shooting here. Countryside village has mobile parks also in greeley and federal heights.  Longmont doesn't really have any hoods or bad part of town.  You feel safe walking or riding bike anywhere.  But some areas do see more crimes . Lmk if you agree if  Countryside village is the most dangerous hood in longmont?

Did you know Colorado is one of the few states that don't have any Aldi discount grocery stores?  Aldi currently has 2381 stores in America and they are in 40 different states.  Studies have shown food items are cheaper then Walmart.  The reason why is cheaper is because everything is Aldi brand items. Same concept as trader Joe's. They are able to pass on the saving and better qulatiy control.   On march 2024 Aldi said they will be opening 800 more stores in next 5 years.  They also bought popular grocery chain called Winn Dixies and they will be converting some Winn Dixies into Aldi stores.  We could see Aldi enter Colorado market as is a popular place plus with king soopers and safeway trying to merge and selling over 90 stores? I never been to Aldi but from what I read and seen sounds like a grocery store I would go often. Is cheaper then Walmart and better quality.  Lmk if you would love to see Aldi in Colorado or longmont?  

Hi Longmont many people have driven by and seen the 2 building on 9th and main st. The one with Broncos mural  and the one next to it. As long as I been in Longmont they sat empty in a prime location.  I guess who ever owns it is not in hurry to sell or redevelop it yet.   But with the new Casa Lou Cardenas apartments built across the street maybe we will see something happen. I try to find old pictures but that seem impossible.  But from what I heard the Broncos mural building use to be gas station 20+ years ago.  And next to it use to be taco/mexican restaurant .     Lmk what kind of business you would like to see open up here?

Hi Longmont I was riding my bike through south main st.  And close to where Longmont museum is I saw a ditch that was trashed by the homeless people.   There were lots of trash down there from sleeping bags, clothes, food,  beer cans and more stuff.   It looks like some of the homeless people were sleeping in the little tunnel down there?   Idk why but many homeless people like to trash places and this is common thing we see all the time.  If anyone is wanting to go clean it up.  Have gloves and you need to becareful of dirty needles and feces.  City workers probably has to go clean it up.  What is the solution to this issue beside homeless people cleaning it up?

Hi residents of Longmont.   This year we have a new location for the fireworks show.  Last few years they had it at the fox hill country club but this year skyline Kiwanis club decided to have it at the longmont fire training station at 111 1st Avenue.  They are blocking the parking lot and roads that goes to dickens natural reserve.  Instead the city wants people to park at downtown and wibbys brewery and by  copper sky distillery they will be adding more parking spots.  They will be open and serving beer I'm sure food truck will be there.  Also this year for the first time st vrain school drone team will help put on a drone show.   If you're going to downtown and wibbys area to watch the fireworks show you probably need to go early because wibbys is already busy place and I  imagine parking situation and traffic will be a nightmare.  So be prepared to stay there for long time if your going  The best place to watch the fi...
