This Food Truck Turned Restaurant Is Crocking Out in Sunnyside
Ten years of operating a food truck in Denver ought to land operators a gold Rolex or a lifetime-achievement award in some sort of street-food Hall of Fame. As it stands, those few operators who have hit the decade mark at least enjoy a steady fan base, income from private gigs and big-name festivals, and the respect of their peers.
Crock Spot got rolling in 2010, the year that saw the emergence of the Justice League of Street Food — a legendary series of rallies that ushered in a modern era of food-truck diversity and brought flocks of hungry hipsters to the barely discovered RiNo Art District. "I was one of the founding trucks at the Justice League," recalls Crock Spot owner Steven Smith, "and I started another one called the Food Truck Renegades."

The Top 5 Benefits of Working in a Coworking Space
Since COVID-19 hit the United States in March 2020, most organizations across the globe were forced to transition their in-person workforce to remote working. After several months of employees working from home, many have now realized that they miss working from an office environment due to the lack of social interaction, and that all important work-life balance.
As the Head of Community here at Park Hill Coworking and Forty45 Coworking in Denver, I’ve started to see more and more professionals wanting to come back to an office environment so they can get back into their daily routines, and create a separation between their personal and professional lives.
Here are some of the top benefits of working out of a coworking space.

The Benefits of CoWorking
Denver Coworking has become one of the hottest trends in office space. By choosing to work together versus against each other, many Denver companies have improved the overall awareness of coworking and its benefits.
The following excerpts have been taken from the Denver Coworking Alliance Website.
What Is Coworking?
Coworking is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, often an office, and independent activity. It’s the gathering of a group of people who work independently, but who share values, and who are interested in the synergy that can happen from working with like-minded talented people in the same space. Coworking can be beneficial for teams or individuals, work-at-home professionals, independent contractors, or people who travel frequently who end up working in relative isolation.
Benefits of Coworking
By choosing to work in a coworking environment, you can benefit from:
Building relationships within and across industries
Boosting creativity
Improving productivity and standard of work
… and that’s just the beginning. Read about more benefits in the 2012 Global Coworking Survey
The member spaces of the Denver Coworking alliance vary in size, location and amenities, but all offer companies and individuals a unique opportunity to succeed through the coworking model.
The Office Gets Remade Again
The New York Times recently wrote a compelling article about the modern worker and their varying demands on the work place. Traditional offices no longer work for many companies. Instead, "new office designs are coming to a workplace near you, with layouts meant to cater to the variety of tasks required of modern white-collar workers. Put another way, it means people don’t sit in just one place.
It’s partly a backlash against the one-size-fits-all mind-set, not to mention the corporate penny-pinching, embodied in the move toward pure open floor plans that packed more workers into less and less space. That idea was supposed to drive collaboration, but many experts agree it often went too far, with row upon row of desks and workbench-style seating more likely to generate ennui than efficiency."
Diversification, options and flexibility is what many companies are looking for and Microsoft is leading the way with their brand new office design, read more here: The Office Gets Remade Again.
