1. Denver's best tiny restaurant closing its doors. After eight years, the intimate, 624 square foot restaurant, Into The Wind on East Colfax, is calling it quits. The owner said, "The lease is up and it's just time to get away. I'm not really digging it any more." (Westword)
2. Coloradans are becoming increasingly concerned about the high cost of living. With housing prices spiking along the Front Range, 40 percent of respondents have told pollsters in a recent poll that they are "worse off financially" than they were last year. (Patch)
3. Denver plans to extend use of hotel rooms for the homeless. Denver's Finance and Governance Committee voted to extend the city's use of 140 rooms at the Aloft Hotel in downtown Denver. The measure will now move to the full City Council for approval. (Gazette)
