This is my favorite time of year in Cherry Creek North. It is so enjoyable to stroll the streets during the holidays and end with a cozy dinner. Where else do you have access to 16 blocks of great restaurants, galleries, salons, and one of a kind boutiques?

As the economy is still challenged, this is a time of year that increased patronage brings a healthy vibrancy that keeps the unique spirit of the community alive.

As you will see in this issue, there are many local businesses in the neighborhood celebrating big anniversaries!! Congratulations to all of them….. as they have seen many changes throughout the years. It says a lot when businesses have been in this area for such a long time, reflecting strongly on the loyalty from the community. In addition to these businesses, there are plenty of new businesses that have chosen this unique community to plant their feet. As we have touched on in the past, it is so very important to continue to support them all. They are what makes Cherry Creek North the premier shopping neighborhood in Denver.

And there are so many good things going on this time of year! These next few months are filled with seasonal special events in Cherry Creek and the greater Denver area. Denver Arts Week, Buy Local Week, National Western Stock Show, just to name a few… Bringing many visitors to the area and featuring many local artists and businesses!
