Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The former JCRS shopping center, longtime home to Casa Bonita, is getting a facelift as Lamar Station. After we wrote about that, readers served up memories of other spots that were once located there, including one of "five beautiful Drumstick Restaurants" around Denver. And that brought on a flood of memories of othr long-lost restaurants around town.
Says DenverGregg:
Denver Drumstick was a huge part of my youth. I've learned to live without White Spot, Rockybilt, Yum Yum Tree, Bronco Burger, Lutz', Bundy's Festival, Sailor Sandwiches, Bronco Burger, Georgia Boys, Organ Grinder, Arctic Circle, Round-the-Corner et al., but I'd dearly love to get the Drumstick back.
What restaurants would you like to see come back to Colorado?
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.
