👀 Former Secret Garden owners seek new tenant

We’re back with more recommendations from City Cast Denver Neighbors about their fave local people, spots, and organizations in the Mile High, so they can become your favorites too 💕

📣 Mike W. is shouting out Jimano's in Englewood. “It’s the best pizza I’ve had around here! Thin crust with Giardiniera all day!!”

📣 Kim S. is giving a shoutout to Hooked on Colfax in City Park. "It is an outstanding gathering space with coffee and a bar. They host community events, they have great drinks and pastries made in-house, in the evening they serve alcohol, and they also have the best community bulletin board in the city.”

📣 Chase H. wants to shoutout two Aurora faves: Bánh & Butter Bakery Café and Cerebral Brewing’s Aurora Arts taproom. “East Colfax could use your support!”

⚠️ Dozens More Gas Stations Affected By Tainted Fuel

HF Sinclair, one of the area’s largest fuel providers, has confirmed unleaded gasoline contaminated with diesel fuel was distributed from its Adams County terminal to nearly three dozen local gas stations last week. The mixture can cause expensive damage to a car. Affected fuel stations include King Soopers, Costco, Safeway, Circle K, Sinclair, and Murphy Express.

• What to do: If you filled up with the bad gas, you’ll notice issues while driving, or your car may stop running completely. Customers who were impacted can submit a complaint to the Colorado Division of Oil and Public Safety online or call 303-866-4967.

• 💬 DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin called the proposal “despicable and a flagrant attempt to endanger our officers.”
