Yesterday there was an article in the Denver Post about Baker Market and Deli, located in Denver's historic Baker neighborhood. It has been a market since the 1880s, which is very impressive indeed. It serves breakfast and lunch, and also carries produce, groceries, coffee, teas, and bread. Years ago, there were multiple bodegas in this neighborhood, serving a mainly Hispanic clientele. These days, Baker Market and Deli is the only one still operating. This neighborhood is famous for having entire blocks filled with its original Victorian homes, and over the years it has undergone significant gentrification. The store, located a few blocks east of Santa Fe Drive on West 4th Avenue, was closed by the time I took the photograph above, but from reading the article, I get the impression that its success lies in adapting to the changes in the neighborhood and catering to the resident's needs. Another Denver success story. And yes - I do realize that the name on the building says Bakers Market instead of Baker Market, its official name, but I think I will just let that remain a mystery. Probably just an error by the painter.
