I stopped at The Exchange in downtown Fort Collins the other day to check out the scene there. It is an outdoor food court, and is usually hopping during the summer, but not so much on a cold autumn afternoon the day after a snowstorm. Crooked Stave Brewery has a taproom there, as seen in the photograph on the left, but there was nobody out on the patio when I was there. Hopefully they were doing a better business inside.
Another popular spot at The Exchange is The Churn, an ice cream shop in the shape of a churn and owned by Little Man Ice Cream Company, the most popular ice cream outlet in Denver. It was not doing much business, either, which was not surprising, since it was not exactly ice cream weather. Perhaps The Exchange needs a retractable roof, like many sports teams have at their stadiums, so that when the weather turns cool, they can cover the place up and turn on the heat. Just a suggestion. And I know how much they are appreciated.
