Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Someone has been stealing letters from the marquee at Bastien's -- but Emilio's, the Mexican joint at 338 East Colfax Avenue, lost an entire sign. Yes, the classic Super Chef sign (right) that belonged to the original diner on this corner, and was lovingly restored when Emilio's took the space over, has disappeared. But this time, you can't blame Colfax crooks. The owners themselves removed the sign.
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. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
