Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Just over a year ago, when I spoke with Gabriela Bossy, the owner of Cilantro Fusion, a south-of-the-border storefront at 1531 Stout Street, she was optimistic that her Mexican joint would woo downtowners with its green chile, mole enchiladas and Oaxacan huevos rancheros. "We've been so busy, and I know we've got some things to work on, but all we really want to do is make our customers happy and make sure they come back," she told me.
Judging from the sign on the front door announcing a temporary closure and, even more telling, a disconnected phone number, it appears that Bossy's customers didn't oblige.
Bummer.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
