The regular meeting at aspen city hall on Mondays has been moved to Tuesday night this week.
The reason is the observance of Yom Kippur—ending at sundown tonight.
Even with real estate sales in the slump somewhat—there are plans for more housing in the roaring fork valley with Ace Lane’s proposed development at El Jebel.
And the first time home buyer’s program is also making the current environment one the best to buy, says Donette Vincent with Homes Aspen.
Homes Aspen is the new real estate office dealing with commercial and residential properties throughout the roaring fork valley—-tied in directly with local media: a unique situation and a big advantage for sellers.
 

Electric Fencing:  that’s the ticket—or at least what’s worked with Bill Dinsmore’s Main Street Bakery, after bears have been visiting his cooler, located in a shed near the main building.
Dinsmore says two bears were unable to stay away from the smells of fresh bread and bacon emitting from the eatery—so he had a 600 volt mat installed along the walkway leading to the cooler and the kitchen—
It worked—and the bears, while receiving a hefty shock to their system, are not harmed—and they have not returned.
