Within hours of the sign's discovery, Ink! Coffee began to issue explanations that in some ways only made things worse.
The Scoop's insight:
Ouch. Ink Coffee stumbled in a big way with a sandwich board sign outside their Five Points store. On November 22nd it went viral. No there are protests for the store to apologize or close. Clearly the ad agency and Ink had a blind spot for this marketing campaign. It's too bad the vandalism happened to the store. Hopefully the neighborhood can put this behind them. Like Rodney King said, "Can't we all just get along?"

We went to see the "Her Paris" art exhibit this week here in Denver. Truly mesmerizing paintings from women artists from the 19th Century.

Go if you can. It is a treat to the eyes and soul.

The Scoop's insight:

Santiago's, founded by Carmen Morales in 1990, is helping usher in the official Breakfast Burrito day as proclaimed by Mayor Michael Hancock
The Scoop's insight:
It's about time. I have been raving about Santiago's since the first time I tried them up in Brighton. When they came to Englewood my prayers were answered. Obviously food is subjective but growing up with home made green chile, Santiago's is hard to beat for the cost. People complain and say there is better green chile in Denver. Not for $2 a breakfast burrito. When people get mild or half and half, I can see that. But hot at Santiagos is still the measuring stick for me. Best value and home of the breakfast burrito. I am down with it!

Maria Katsaros explains that this is her first restaurant as an owner, but she’s been in the industry since she was a teenager, and had worked at Charlie Brown’s Bar & Grill for the past twelve years.

Cord cutters are winning. In 2013 cord cutting was an obscure term. Back then advertisers and TV industry people were saying that cord cutting was a slow moving trend. Flash forward to 2017.
TV will never die. I have been keeping an eye on ROI for local Denver ad buying and TV is definitely has one of the worst returns. 2016 started the fall, 2017 seems like the tipping point. Digital disruption is cemented now and the local Denver news channels are feeling the pinch. Too many multi-screen options are part of the reason. What are the others?
