Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Kraine Station -- which was heralded just a few short months ago as a spot that would deliver authentic Ukrainian food to Denver -- has closed, just like so many earlier occupants of 1434 Blake Street.
Papi Sorrelis had taken over the spot from Jimmy Calanni, who briefly ran it as The Blake, with hopes of giving the spot a "new face." But now there's a closed sign and "for sale" banner on that face.
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.
