South Korea meets France at popular bakery chain making its way into Colorado

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:48 GMT

Annie Song grew up eating pastries from Paris Baguette, but she could only get them when her family visited Los Angeles or New York.That’s because the South Korean-based chain, whose popularity in that country is akin to Starbucks in the U.S., hadn’t yet expanded as far as it has today.So when Song, who is Korean-American, had a chance to open a location near Denver, she took it. “I would always go (to New York or L.A.) to get my fix, but I wanted to bring Paris Baguette to Colorado, where we don’t have that type of variety or options to choose from,” she said.An entrepreneur who owned Explicit Streetwear, which sold graphic tees and jeans in Aurora before closing during the pandemic, Song opened her first Paris Baguette store at 10601 E. Garden Drive in Aurora last July.She isn’t the first local franchisee — there’s another Paris Baguette in Parker, which opened in March — but she has plans to grow quickly, and has signed on to open three m...

BIPOC Colorado ski group aims to diversify the slopes with low-cost events and community

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:48 GMT

Romell Ward first learned to snowboard while he was in the Army, traveling to resorts around the world with a group of friends who were as diverse as the places they visited.“Every color, every creed,” he said.After moving to Colorado in 2018, Ward continued to enjoy winter sports and often went to the slopes solo. He’d connect with other – mostly white – skiers, who were largely welcoming. But a few unsavory encounters stick with him to this day.Ward recalls how people, emboldened by a few beers, would comment about the lack of people of color who ski.“The jokes start coming in. I’d get dirty looks sometimes walking through like I’m not supposed to be there. Sometimes just outright racial slurs shouted at me as people zip by the hill,” said Ward, who is African-American. “It happens a lot to us.”Ward recognized a need for safe spaces in Colorado snow sports for people of color. So he decided to create one.In 2021, Ward founded the BIPOC Mountain Collective with a mission to introdu...

SANTA CLARA – The 49ers (5-3) are back from their bye, they have another pass rusher in Chase Young, and they have fans still stocking our weekly mailbag with questions via social media:What’s the team’s current vibe after a three-game skid and now on this bye? (@andyz65c10)Chase Young raved about the 49ers’ culture after his first day on the job, and asked to expand on how it’s different from Washington, Young said: “Players’ spirit in the locker room. The spirit of the coaches. It’s just different. It’s that same thing at Ohio State, where you’re expected to win, and there’s this vibe like, ‘We’re going to win.’ ”Is Nick Bosa teaching Chase Young some edge-rushing tricks?

Opinion: Caltrain’s San Francisco extension costs more than it’s worth

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:48 GMT

The San Jose BART extension is proving to be quite costly, but, on a per-mile basis, it is a bargain compared to a proposed Caltrain extension in San Francisco.The Portal, a project to extend service from the Caltrain station at Fourth and King streets to the Salesforce Transit Center, is now expected to cost $8.25 billion for just 1.3 miles of additional service.Since funding for the project is not yet secured, this is a good time to reevaluate and, ideally, shelve this project.The project is being proposed by the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, a partnership of San Francisco, the East Bay’s AC Transit, Caltrain on the Peninsula and the California High-Speed Rail Authority.It is hard to know how many Caltrain riders would use the extension since the Transbay Joint Powers Authority has not released a post-COVID ridership model. A 2009 analysis from Cambridge Systematics estimated 31,500 weekday riders, but this is now implausible given that weekday ridership throughout the entire C...
