Shop Local: The Mayor does a little shopping in downtown Loveland
I am going to come clean. I am not much of a shopper. In fact, I rarely shop unless it is a necessity. So when Christmas comes around, I enjoy shopping in historic downtowns, because the stores are locally owned, and they are entertaining. Downtown retail business owners have to be creative in order to compete with the strip malls and mega stores, and they often line their shelves with
Grand Opening of Colorado Coffee Exchange – free lattes and more

“Native” exploring what it means to be a Coloradan
It is theater season folks, and you don’t have to go far because there’s lots of good theater happening right here in Northern Colorado.

A Review: Grimm Brothers Brewhouse beer tasting at Pourhouse Bar & Grill
Last Tuesday, we attended a free beer tasting at Pourhouse Bar & Grill in Loveland, Colorado.

A HeidiTown favorite: Colorado Coffee Exhange
I’ve been remiss in my duty to review this place. My husband and I been going to this coffee shop since they first opened as a Loveland Coffee several years ago.

Pourhouse opens in Loveland
Review originally published on August 20, 2009. Downtown Loveland has a new restaurant at 124 E. 4th Street. The former Cipoletti’s restaurant is now the PourhouseBar & Grill. Pourhouse opened yesterday, and I was there to check it out. The first noticeable difference is the outside of the building – it has been painted black. The inside has been altered only slightly. Walls have been removed

Major chain now offers free wi-fi
Barnes & Noble now offers free wi-fi, and it’s about time. Many smaller coffee shops and bookstores beat B&N to the punch, but the world’s largest bookseller has finally come to their senses. Free wi-fi is now available at all their stores. I go to the B&N at The Promenade Shops in Loveland, and one issue I have with the place are the unhappy workers. It’s service with
