Originally from New Mexico, Mike and his wife moved here from San Diego in 1997. “We came out for a job opportunity, went up Flagstaff, took a look over the the front range and that was all she wrote. We never went to the beach in San Diego, we were always more oriented towards the mountains, so this was a perfect fit.”  He was a runner, qualifying for the Boston Marathon.

The brewers at Finkel & Garf think hosting a flea market is a pretty good bet. This Saturday, April 22nd, will be the first ever Finkel’s Flea market, presenting wares from local artists, clothing boutiques, food vendors, and more. And don’t forget about the beer! One of the amazing things about Boulder is the breadth of quality craft goods... Read More
