Longtime restaurant Su Casa and bars Eric’s, Aspen Billards and Cigar Bar will reopen for the summer on May 26 after what the proprietors thought was a permanent closure in April.
Public comments Wednesday about an ordinance to regulate short-term rentals in unincorporated Pitkin County opened up a fissure between one county commissioner and the rest of the board over which class of people should benefit most from it.
Attention Compound shoppers: Whether it’s feasting on fajitas at Su Casa, racking some balls at Aspen Billiards, firing up a stogie at the Cigar Bar or grabbing a cocktail at Eric’s Bar, you’ve got until mid-April to get your fix.
A former mayor of Aspen, Herman Edel, passed away last week. He served as mayor from 1979 to 1983 in which time he helped organizing a significant restoration of the Wheeler Opera House and led early efforts in building affordable housing. He also was in office when Donald Trump was attempting to build a large hotel at the base of Aspen Mountain.
