All of the Applebees within a ten mile radius have disappeared. I usually do not like chain/franchise restaurants but Applebees was an exception. I loved their southwestern chicken salad and Applebees always had a warm, friendly environment. The Denver area has exploded with unique, one off, restaurants that have really catered to the many visitors we receive all year round. The mountains have always been an attraction all year round. Marijuana dispensaries have added to Colorado's magnetic draw. Once people get here and see how wonderful the weather is they generally make plans to move out here...just as I did twenty eight years ago. Unless they come during one of our three to four snow storms...maybe five this season.
