I've lived in my Arvada CO home since 1993. I never thought I would live anywhere that long. But tonight I was reminded of why it's so great to actually live in a community.
There's a Mexican restaurant my family and I really like, called 3 Margaritas. It used to be so close by that we could walk to it. One sad day, it closed it's doors and moved away.
3 Margaritas only moved 10 blocks north though, and my family and I have continued to eat there about once a week, usually on Thursday evenings.
Tonight when we were seated, my daughter noticed a placemat there, with a scene from the movie, Cars, on it. She commented that it looked just like the one they had lost. Then it dawned on her - this was the very same one they had lost!
We called Angelica over to the table, and asked if we had left it there the week before. She affirmed that we had, and she had set it aside in a special little spot so she could give it back to us when we returned.
Wasn't that sweet?
Then our waiter, Jose, came over and taught us one word in Spanish. As we try to remember our one-word Spanish lesson from week to week, maybe some day we'll be able to speak entire sentences in that beautiful language.
The manager almost always sends some little extra thing over to our table. This week it was their mushroom salsa. If you've never had it, try it. I don't even like mushrooms and I LOVE it!
Check out 3 Margaritas if you're ever in Westminster/Arvada. On Sunday evenings they have a live Mariachi band.
Like 3 Margaritas on Facebook. If I had done that sooner I would have known about the Camaro show there a few days ago.

And here’s a little intro to Olde Town Arvada.
Gardeners might enjoy my posts about gardening in Denver to Boulder’s front range.
I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the ‘flavor’ of our community, in case they’re new or moving to the Denver area.
I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly suburbs northwest of Denver.
