Door to Foco Cafe

FoCo Cafe offers warmth, healthy meals during holiday season

Ivy Secrest December 7, 2021
FoCo Cafe goes above and beyond with their services, giving a “hand-up” rather than a handout, as their values say. They offer not only a meal but a healthy, locally sourced one in a warm and friendly volunteer-driven environment.

The Post Chicken & Beer proves one of the best in the nest

Scott Powell December 2, 2021
With so many ornithological eateries constructing their nests around Northern Colorado, it can be difficult for a new chicken restaurant to carve out a name for itself. However, between the homey atmosphere, distinctively textured chicken coating, and the wide array of unique menu options, The Post Chicken and Beer off College and Laurel, has more than earned itself a spot on the podium of FoCo’s finest feathered-friend diners.

The roots of 122 W. Laurel St.

Bella Eckburg November 17, 2021
In the building now home to The B&B Pickle Barrel Deli at 122 W. Laurel Street, which was purchased by Robert 'Bob' Piccaro and Brenda Smith in 1988, lies a history enveloped with musicality and international connection.  Chris Eala, who was born in the Philippines, came to Fort Collins in the late 1950s at the urging of the Colorado State University music department, which recognized his gift of repairing musical instruments. The little shop became Chris’s Music store.
