9-11AM Golden Startup Coffee @ Morris & Mae
Golden Startup Coffee’s mission is to learn, contribute, and inspire. This event is built on the mindset that entrepreneurs are better together and have engagement from the surrounding community. This can only be more energized through caffeine, right?
In its purest form, this event emphasizes connection. The schedule is limited to two short presentations with robust audience Q&A. Local entrepreneurs share their ideas and those in the crowd help them in their growth. “Have you thought about this? You should contact my friend… What about targeting this market?” – these are the common questions you’ll hear on Wednesday mornings.

CITY MEETINGS
6:30PM Historic Preservation Board Meeting @ City Hall
HPB will review their accomplishments for 2023 and their work plan for 2024. This year they plan to review our historic preservation policies and decide whether they should be stronger and more strictly enforced. They will begin studying and adding styles prominent after the late-1940s and multi-family structures. They will draft guidelines to better address additions and secondary structures in the Historic Districts. They will create guidance for preservation in Goosetown and the Clear Creek corridor.
The Golden History Museum will continue their Native American Ethnography study. Last year they worked with reps from the Northern Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe tribes. This year they will work with the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute tribes. Learn more….
TOMORROW
Visit Golden meetings have always been theoretically open to the public, but they have been held in a cramped and somewhat hard to find meeting room, not broadcast, and not recorded. Starting tomorrow morning at 9, they will be held in City Council Chambers, broadcast live, and recorded for viewing later.
This is good news for transparency in general and for people who want to understand what the City does to attract tourists. There will be a public comment period at each meeting.
You can come to City Council chambers at 9 tomorrow, or check the Agenda Page at 9AM for a live feed.
LIVE MUSIC
5-9PM Open Mic @ Cannonball Creek
6-9PM Chris Koltak @ Miners Saloon
GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
95 Years Ago
The January 10, 1929 Colorado Transcript announced that a new speed limit would take effect the following Tuesday. The limit was being raised from 12 miles per hour to 20 miles per hour.
Or, as former Councilman Brown would say, “Twenty is Plenty.”
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
