One year later, business owners reflect on year that was with COVID-19 pandemic

Danny Griffith can still recall the smell of the corned beef and cabbage cooking in the kitchen. Griffith, the owner of J.W. Snack’s, was in the middle of preparing his traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal, consisting of 75 pounds of corned beef and cabbage for the Irish holiday. A few hours later, Governor Jared Polis announced the closure of restaurants statewide to dine-in services, and shut down local gyms the same day. “I thought, gee, I hope we’re only shut down for a week or so,” Griffith said in a March 15 interview in the midst of preparing another St. Patrick’s Day meal. “We had 75 pounds of corned beef cooking, and had just bought groceries. All I knew was I had just bought $5,000 worth of groceries and I was told by the governor to close. I was a little upset. We had absolutely no heads up, no warning. They weren’t courteous at all.”

Editorial: Be patient, understanding with the city s sidewalk project; it s for the best

Jennifer Holloway, community member Take a trip down Yampa Avenue in the 400 and 500 blocks in the next few days and you’ll notice a startling difference immediately: no trees downtown. On Tuesday, city crews began cutting down the trees along the 400 and 500 block of Yampa Avenue, marking the official start of the 2021 Sidewalk Project, focusing on improvements to the sidewalk, lighting, and landscape in the area. For many especially a handful of business owners downtown – the project is an exciting one, seen as a way to continue the revitalization and make Craig and Moffat County more attractive to tourists. For others though, there’s plenty of concern – and in some cases outrage – with the removal of trees and what downtown, which many say looks like its straight off of a Hallmark card, will look like moving forward.

History in Focus: The Great Fire of 1896

History in Focus Legend has it the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 started with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicking over a lantern. While not nearly as famous or poetic, the source of Craig’s Great Fire of 1896 can be traced back to a sopping wet mopped floor and an overstuffed wood stove, and it was a devastating event for the young town. On the cold winter night of February 13, all of Craig was readying itself for a Valentine’s Day masquerade ball at the town hall, then located in the middle of the 500 block of Yampa Street. In the late afternoon, janitor Clyde Eastman and some volunteers thoroughly mopped the floor and built up a roaring fire in the woodstove to insure the floor was dry for the big dance (Craig Empire 2/15/22).

According to Landmark Consultant’s partner, Eric Griepentrog, the project will take most if not all of 2021. Some business owners worry construction could block off entryways to their business. The effects of diminished foot traffic could hit even harder coming on the heels of the pandemic.
