Greeley businesses find ways to cope during power outage at midday Thursday

This sucks,” he said. “We lose power right in the middle of lunch hour, and no one will tell us anything.” About 8,600 customers in Greeley and Garden City lost power that afternoon, said Michelle Aguayo, a spokeswoman for Xcel Energy. The outage lasted for up to an hour and 20 minutes in some areas, but customers outage times varied. Aguayo attributed the outage to an equipment failure at a substation. Losing power affected businesses throughout downtown — some more than others. “It’s business as usual, except we can’t sell anything,” Sami Harter said from behind the counter at the Nerd Store, 807 8th St. Customers were still bustling through the shop, and upstairs, groups were playing tabletop games. “It’s definitely affecting us,” Hayley Hull said. She works for Mariposa Plants, Flowers and Gifts, 801 8th St. She and the other employees were in the back of the shop, working on floral arrangements. Because they couldn’t get into their online system that stores orders, they had to finish the projects they started before the outage, then wait. Like any retail spot, employees had to quit ringing people up during the brownout. But florists depend on coolers to keep their flowers fresh. “If they’re not kept cool, they will wilt faster,” Hull said. “We could lose the product.” North Colorado Medical Center, 1801 16th St., had a few “power bumps,” said spokesman Gene Haffner. “Any power loss was a matter of, certainly, less than a minute,” he said. The hospital has two electrical feeds from Xcel, which can back each othe... (Greeley Tribune)

Coral Gables Residents Hate Futuristic, Million-Dollar Flower Sculptures

August 19, 2016 at 9 a.m. Coral Gables recently paid around $1 million for a pair of flower-like sculptures to celebrate its roots as a garden city. But some residents say the artwork, which was installed in traffic circles on Segovia Street in June, looks more like something from Little Shop of Horrors.  They claim the brightly colored structures, which the artist says reference “satellites, antennas, and mechanical robotic floral objects,” clash with the city’s Mediterranean vibe. Residents have been vocal with their complaints about the artwork, saying it would be more at home in Coconut Grove, Wynwood, Brickell, or even Epcot than their "City Beautiful." Accordingly, a petition is calling for the pieces to be moved someplace more “suitable,” such as one of the city’s parks. The letter has 120 signatures so far, but the organizers say that's just a small sampling of those dissatisfied with the artwork. “Our opposition is not out of a lack of respect for the artist’s talents, but due to the fact that the artwork does not represent what our city is all about and what George Merrick envisioned Coral Gables to be: a Medi...
