Alexander's General Store

Treated like family.

Really cool knickknack shop in the heart of Colorado ranch country with the best malts! Jams, candles, antiques - it's like stepping back in time two hundred years. Dark, haunty feel to the place, but I love it.

I stopped through here on my way to California to use the restroom and ended up talking with the locals. It's a cash-only store run by a woman and her kids, and I was a buck short on cash for a malt. I paid with what I had in change on me, and I said I would stop back my next time through town (we drove across the country twice) and I'm not sure they believed they'd see me again.

I did stop back a month later, when we drove our other car out to California - unfortunately they were closed. I'll drive through here every time I pass through Denver hoping to catch the place while it's open! I love the charm of this little place.
