INSIDER ACCESS TO OUR FAVORITE HOT SPOTS & LOCAL CULTURE BY ERICKA KASTNER

Asian Pickled Quail Eggs are one of the seasonal small plates on our hot list.

THE FRITZ

ritz owner grant prill brought L.A. style tapas to Salida in 2010 — in spite of almost being scared off by Colorado’s chilly winters. Clearly our quiet little river town was ready for big city cuisine; ever since Prill opened his doors, it’s been

PINON REAL ESTATE GROUP • SUMMER 2019

tough to get a table at The Fritz most nights. Nine years later, he’s come to love Salida for what Prill calls the “perfect trifecta:” skiing, fishing and biking on the same day. Prill’s aim is to make good food affordable, even in a small mountain town — and there’s no

denying he does just that. Don’t miss the Bacon Wrapped Dates, Seared Ahi Wontons or the Grilled Romaine. Indoor and outdoor seating available, daily specials and gluten free items on the menu at 113 E. Sackett Ave. For more info visit thefritzsalida.com.

OU WON'T FIND ANY TVS on the wall at Salida’s hometown brewery, Soulcraft Brewing. Instead, owners Mike LaCroix and Tom Price created a space for patrons to experience community conversation and connection, while enjoying some of the best craft beer this side of the Collegiates. With 16 beers on tap, brewery offerings range from lager

to stout- Soulcraft has a beer for hop heads and sweet tooths alike. Don’t miss the Green Chile Ale made with Pueblo chiles. Two Tuesdays a month, Soulcraft hosts a popular, fun and lively Trivia Night from 6–8 p.m. Weekends bring live music to the Soulcraft stage at 248 W. Rainbow Blvd. Pet friendly patio.

ART

rtist Paulette Brodeur says her favorite painting is always the one she’s just finished. Since 1994, Brodeur has been in Salida creating acrylics on canvas, mixed media on two ply paper, and oil on canvas works in a style ranging from impressionistic to abstract. Brodeur’s work has shown in several galleries internationally; she’s currently working on paintings of people

and landscapes, and a series of abstracts called "Google This.” Brodeur describes her gallery as an authentic Salida business housing an artist who is true to her own personality and spirit. She loves living here because even with the recent growth, Salida is still a great small town, and offers the added bonus of being able to live in the mountains nearby.

Born in Montana and growing up in the small town of Black Forest, Colo., I moved to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in my twenties to start a business and family. After twenty years of Texas traffic and heat, I longed to return to Colorado. Salida provided the ideal combination of climate, scenery, recreation, and small town values for my wife and I to raise our four children. I love fly fishing, enjoying outdoor time with my family, and driving vintage Porsche sports cars.

JoDee Kane (719) 539-0200 | jkane@pinonrealestate.com I’ve been with Pinon almost since the very beginning. The year 2006 was very busy for me; I moved, got married, and started my new job here as Office Manager. In 2013 I decided to get my Real Estate License. When the opportunity to take on the role of General Manager arose, I readily accepted. Born and raised in the Meeker area, I fell in love with Salida during multiple visits and after meeting my husband Shawn, a thirdgeneration native. I feel a deep connection to the values of hard work, honesty, and integrity that underpin everything we do here at Pinon.

Salida has been my home since 2000, and I actually spent most of my summers here while growing up. I was born in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder. I am both a Broker Associate and the long-term Property Manager for Pinon. A typical day? I return dozens of phone calls, show rental homes, and coordinate repairs. I shoot out hundreds of emails each week, soothe nerves, distribute information, hold hands and listen.

Janine Marr (719) 221-1838 | jmarr@pinonrealestate.com While I’m new to real estate, I’m not new to Salida. Living and working here as the owner of Bangs! Hair Salon for more than 16 years has given me a deep understanding of the community and its unique culture. People who know me say my compassion and strong connection to clients will translate perfectly to the real estate industry. They also say I’m a pro at getting things done. While not working, I love spending time with my husband Mike and daughter Jamison on Salida’s beautiful nine-hole golf course.

Kym Mellsop (719) 207-3077 | kmellsop@pinonrealestate.com After graduating from Smith College in ’94, I came to Salida for the summer to work for my brother, intending to return home to the SF Bay Area, but I met Hayden, and never left! I bring to Pinon a love of the mountains and the community. When not working in real estate I volunteer with Heart of the Rockies Hospice and lead the Caring Committee for the Salida Sangha. I am also curator of the Pinon office art gallery. I love going on hikes around ‘S’ Mountain as a break during my work week. Our daughters have flown their Salida nest now but raising them in this community was one of the best decisions we’ve made.

Throughout the years I have been able to see the town grow from a sleepy mountain town to a thrill seekers getaway. Watching people discover the Arkansas Valley and fall in love for the same reasons I call Salida home has made me even more passionate about the community. You may recognize me from around town as the founder and former owner of Albritton Ski Co, The Fritz Tapas Bar in downtown Salida or helping my lovely wife Ysabella at her shop Fay & Maye.
