How Denver’s Five Points is weathering the recession
Back in August of 2008, during the Democratic National Convention, we sent Takeaway contributor Patrik Henry Bass out to report from Denver. He visited a hair salon called Hairworks in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood to talk with locals on the evening Barack Obama accepted his party’s nomination. This morning we check in with the owner of that salon, Tracy Moore, about how she and her customers are doing.
