Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
As Writer Square continues to rewrite its future, a few more businesses have disappeared from the block between Larimer and Lawrence streets and 15th Street and the 16th Street Mall.
Last Friday, Chez Cheese Gourmet Market, the Evil Bean coffee shop and Jamaica Juice all closed their doors. The space that Zaidy's left two years ago remains empty.
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.
