Reader: Stapletonians have nearly ruined Station 26

There's no better way to enjoy a beautiful Colorado day than sitting outside in the sunshine, enjoying one of Colorado's liquid assets: craft beer. Fortunately, there are dozens of great brewery patios along the Front Range. Some are intimate backyard spaces, others are expansive parks. And some, like Station 26,...

There's no better way to enjoy a beautiful Colorado day than sitting outside in the sunshine, enjoying one of Colorado's liquid assets: craft beer. Fortunately, there are dozens of great brewery patios along the Front Range. Some are intimate backyard spaces, others are expansive parks.

The only bright spot in this is that when my son is old enough to run around, you've all given me glaring examples of how NOT to be a parent.

Have you been to Station 26? At what restaurants do you see the worst-behaved kids? The worst-behaved parents?
