Seufer Brothers Nursery is Closing - 08/29/08 09:24 AM
I made an abrupt double take when I saw the "closing sale" sign hanging on the fence of Seufer Brothers Nursery (just East of/behind Safeway).  Seufer's is my favorite nursery (I have yet to kill off any of their plants with my gardening techniques) and I stopped by to see if they were hopefully just moving to a new a location.  I talked with Nan and she told me that Seufer Brothers couldn't afford to stay at the current location since C&C Sand, who shares the building w/Seufer's, was leaving.  Seufer Brothers will now just sell from their location at 345 … (0 comments)

Sad Farewell & Brink's Meat Market - 08/22/08 09:58 AM
On Tuesday, Billy Pine lost his battle with colon cancer. We say goodbye to a son, husband, father, friend and firefighter. After reading last week’s Pueblo West View about the new meat market at 324 McCulloch Blvd and on the advice of several of my clients, I stopped by for a chat and to try some of their meat. I bought the Jalapeno sausage and, I have to say, it was FABULOUS! Brink’s Meat Market has several package deals at different price points, a great value for those who want to stock their freezer. See last week’s article in the View … (0 comments)

Pond Inspiration and Back to School - 08/08/08 09:51 AM
"Hello everyone.  I was inspired by the recent pond tour and I hired my wonderfully talented fireman-turned-landscaper Damien Pritts, owner of Steimz Landscaping (719-240-0900), to build a pond for me.  I am absolutely THRILLED with the result (see picture), but I don't know what to do next.  My husband wants to put koi in the pond and I want plants.  If you have advice for us on how to make this happen, shoot me an e-mail.
It's hard to believe that summer is almost over, with school starting next week.  Remember to DRIVE SAFELY through school zones and when children are … (0 comments)

Lot Mowing & Metro District Meetings - 08/01/08 06:48 PM
I always admire people that proactively go after business.  Well, this week I received a call from Dennis Fish of Mesa Mowing (719-250-2877).  He is available to mow lots.  Because of our EXTREME fire danger and the multitude of RATS (see previous blog article), I encourage you to give Dennis a call to get your property trimmed and looking good!
On another note, I encourage all of you to attend the Pueblo West Metropolitan District board of directors meetings.  See the Metro District website at http://www.pueblowestmetro.com for dates and times (also note that the website has a new look!).  Items are … (0 comments)
