Developer sues Castle Pines after City Council denied McDonald’s plan

By Olivia Young | CBS Colorado In Castle Pines, a fight over a proposed McDonald's has escalated to a legal battle. Developers want to build a 3,671-square-foot McDonald's with a two-lane drive-through near Castle Pines Parkway and Lagae Road. It would be part of the soon-to-be-developed "Parkway Plaza," which has already been approved by the City Council. But in March, neighbors showed up in droves to the planning commission's meeting to speak out against the proposal. The commission denied the application and the issue was appealed to the City Council to be discussed at a May meeting, where community members again spoke out against the development.

Indoor water surfing facility eyed for Colorado Springs’ north side

By Rich Laden | Colorado Springs Gazette Surf’s up — on Colorado Springs’ landlocked north side, of all places. Surf Shack, a planned, two-story 12,000-square-foot recreation center, would bring indoor water surfing to Polaris Pointe, the retail and commercial development southeast of Interstate 25 and North Gate Boulevard, according to a proposal submitted to city government officials. As envisioned, Surf Shack would employ a wave machine manufactured by San Diego-based FlowRider, whose technology dates back more than 30 years and simulates ocean waves for riders, according to the company’s website. FlowRider machines can be found in water parks, hotels and on cruise ships, among other places. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE

New Colorado stop sign: Buc-ee’s, the big, beloved convenience store opening its first location

By Parker Yamasaki | The Colorado Sun JOHNSTOWN — As a kid, Randy Pauly’s favorite barbecue in Texas was served out of a window. He’d order a brisket sandwich, step back and wait for a hand to slide a plate out in front of him. He never saw what he called “the action.” The chopping, slicing, saucing and slamming it all together. When Pauly became the full-time pitmaster for Buc-ee’s, a Texas-based gas station known for its fresh-cut brisket sandwiches and buck-toothed beaver mascot, he wanted to turn the sandwich assembly into a show.  “Freeeeeeeshhhh brisket on the board!!!” a man in a red polo shirt, denim apron and fake tattered cowboy hat yells out from the Buc-ee’s butcher block. “Fresh brisket on the board!” The other deli counter employees around him echo, with va...

Vision Collision: Cherry Creek ponders over super-sized project

By Mark Samuelson | Colorado Politics Denver’s Cherry Creek neighborhood, with a shopping district that was once known for its quirky charms, has gone through a remarkable run of commercial and residential building projects over the past two decades, with more to come.
