Dear Northern Colorado,
I love to tell stories. My favorite stories to write have always been about the people and businesses that make Northern Colorado what it is. They are the catalysts—the ones who bring energy, creativity, and passion into our communities. Maybe that’s why I enjoy writing about our restaurants so much.
In the coming weeks, I’ve transformed our regular food reviews into profiles of the Top 15 Restaurants in Fort Collins. We published the full list last week, and this week, we’re kicking off the series with a deep dive into Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar—a Fort Collins staple known for its fresh seafood and vibrant atmosphere. I eat at every restaurant I write about, and every single one of them deserves the space on these pages. Perhaps I’ll run into you at one of them—if you see me, say hi!
Here’s what else we’re covering this week:
- Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar: Fresh Seafood in the Heart of Fort Collins – The first in our Top Eats series, featuring the flavors, history, and people behind one of Fort Collins’ best restaurants.
- Three Native Annuals to Direct Sow Now – A guide to getting your garden ready as the weather warms up.
- Windsor’s Summer Employment Fair Offers On-the-Spot Hiring for Seasonal Jobs – Mark your calendars – Job seekers will have the opportunity to apply and interview on the spot for seasonal and part-time positions across multiple departments, including aquatics, parks, athletics, and cultural programming.
