Deep Lore Behind Idaho Springs’ New Gondola, Another Downtown Closure, and Wacky Weather Wardrobe Essentials
About this episode
The episode discusses the closure of a downtown menswear shop, the backstory of Idaho Springs' new gondola, and tips for dressing in Denver's unpredictable spring weather.
After being in business since the 1980s, Moda Man is closing the doors of its downtown menswear shop. Was the pandemic to blame? Or a loss of parking to bike lanes, the lack of Denverites going back to the office, or something more? Freelance journalist Daliah Singer joins host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love to look at how retail trends are reshaping downtown. Plus, they dig into the wild backstory of Idaho Springs’ new gondola, discuss the drought’s impact on fishing, tubing, and other beloved Colorado summer activities up in the mountains, and share their tips on how to dress for Denver’s confusing spring weather. Olivia talked about the Colorado Sun’s reporting on some of the recent lore behind the Mighty Argo gondola project in Idaho Springs, which is set to open with a VIP ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 24.
