Congratulations to today’s School of Mines graduates–what an accomplishment! The undergraduate ceremony is at 9AM and the graduate commencement takes place at 2PM.
Bonfire Burritos, which has developed a cult-like following from their location in a trailer on South Golden Road, has moved into a building at 23rd and Ford Street (map). Their Grand Re-Opening is today, and they’ll be open from 6AM-9PM. The building has been a frame shop for the past several years, but before that it was a Taco Mesa and before that a Taco John’s. There’s a certain symmetry at work here. Continued good luck to Bonfire Burritos!
