Fillmore Street Arch Lift: A Small Business Adventure

Yes, we meant Monday, March 2, 7-9 p.m., so mark your calendars! Crews will raise the next BRT station arch at Fillmore Street, and you’re invited to a Colfax small business adventure with exclusive deals — some for one night only.


Grab some friends and head to Colfax for a night of endless possibilities. Here are some of our favorite ideas:


🍽️ Colfax Progressive Dinner: Grab drinks & apps here, entrees there and dessert somewhere else for the full Colfax culinary experience!


🌈 Local Color Scavenger Hunt: Find an item from each color of the rainbow at different the shops!


🏃‍♀️ The Fax Dash: Who can support the most businesses in one night? The person who visits the most businesses by 9 p.m. gets the glory!

How it Works  7 p.m. — Meet us at Pizza Cucina (2934 E Colfax Ave.), grab a Fax Pass, a free slice of pizza and a map to guide your experience. If you already have a Fax Pass, bring it along!    8 p.m. — Step outside to watch the arch-lift action from wherever you are at in your business journey.   By 9 p.m. — Collect stickers in your Fax Pass with purchases at participating locations along the way! If you get to 6 or 14 stickers, come back and see us at Pizza Cucina to claim a prize.  P.S. — You’ll get a free sticker JUST for coming to our booth.

Thank you for your response, Frank.

As you're out of the loop, it's very difficult to explain what's going on briefly and succinctly in an email. 

In short, I've been requesting for respective Google groups that are aligned with the neighborhood planning initiative to be added to various email distribution lists for quite some time. 

I'm simply asking for them to include this email on any announcements sent to your bid because of your geographic location. 

It's nothing more than that.

I asked to be included to RNo distribution lists. 
I asked to be included on emails sent from the Colfax BRT Team.

Thank you for your help if you're able to make this happen. 

Respectfully,
Bryan Wilson

They don't add the email to their list & say that they can't do it manually, which is ridiculous to me.

Bryan - you can thank me for my response to the email publicly, if you like, but it doesn't align with your private emails to me asking to butt out of things I am not familiar with. That is exactly my point. Don't bcc me, or anyone, if they don't have anything to do with your email content. 

I apologize to the others on this email as I know you also do not want to be annoyed by excessive emails.
