Traditional Vietnamese noodle soup.
***
If you want a decent place to eat in one of the worst towns of this nation, a place thatalso just happens to be stuck in between the worst all-in-one grocery/everything cheap stores and the worst mall ever created, then you should go to Pho Duy, 23rd Ave. just south west [...]

Apocalypse At Last!
For anyone who has read The Road by Cormac McCarthy, it was medium-exciting news that the movie was coming out. Only “medium” because I guess there’s always that fear that the adaptation will be total crap, A la All the Pretty Horses, not to mention Choke, the Spirit, Fahrenheit 451, HItchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, [...]

Bizarre Local Art Installation of the Week
Found @ Blackjack Pizza, 10th st. Greeley.
For some reason, nearly every establishment feels a need to contribute to the art world. Whether it be hanging a print of Starry Night framed by plastic bars or a sea bass that sings Barbara Ann, everyone has their own idea about art.
Blackjack has gone with a series of [...]

Get A Clue
Sign of the Week:
The implication of this poster is that you should get a clue and realize what a great deal 99-cent taquitos are. However, because it features Sherlock Holmes (well, sort of. Where the fuck is his hat?) I think a little deductive reasoning is in order.
First, if we look at this poster, it [...]
Best Bet of the Week: An Education
Your best bet for the Week is An Education, playing at the Kress Theater.
An Education was written by amazing author Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy, Long Way Down, and on, and on…). It’s a coming-of-age story, but don’t let that turn you off. It’s smart, the casting and performances are excellent, and it’s [...]

Day 94: Greeley to Lead World in Zombie Apocalypse?
I recently noticed a poster on a large bulletin board advertising the work of a local author: Day 94 by D.M. Slate. The poster included a brief synopsis of the book. The graphic was pixelated, the description was odd, so of course, I was in.
In Day 94, a meteor hits the Earth. Or an asteriod. [...]

Review: Which Starbucks is the Best Starbucks?
As you may have noticed, Greeley is a town with just a little bit of indie coffee joints and a whole lot of Starbucks’ (Starbuckses? Starbucksi?). But when it’s time to roll around town to the various Starbucks, one has to be better than the others, right? We all know that one Roma is better [...]
