Top movers and shakers in Denver arts
Rocky Mountain News
Rank: #20. Why he ranks: It wasn't easy and it didn't happen exactly according to plan, but Woolley has managed a neat doubleplay: the renovation of the Lowenstein Theatre and the creation of a cultural destination on East Colfax Avenue. The June opening of the Tattered Cover revealed a repurposed Lowenstein that paid homage to its architectural history. And the coming addition of Twist & Shout, Udi's Handcrafted Foods and the Denver Folklore Center will add to the cultural mix. It's too bad that the Denver Film Society couldn't join the mix, but the Neighborhood Flix Cinema and Cafe ensures a movie component. Next challenge: Get the rest of the businesses open and make sure that the growing number of customers to the stores have a great experience. PDF Version

- Store closes book on move
Denver Post - by Margaret Jackson
When the Tattered Cover opens its new store in the former Lowenstein Theatre at 9 a.m. today, Lew Cady will be its first customer. Cady, a Denver adman, said he asked bookstore owner Joyce Meskis months ago if he could be the last person to buy a book at the Cherry Creek bookstore - which closed Saturday - as well as the first to make a purchase at its new store at 2526 E. Colfax Avenue. His choices? "Beware of Pity" by Stefan Zweig, the last book - alphabetically - on the old store's fiction shelves. And "Graceland" by Chris Abani, the first on the new store's shelves. >> Read More

- Tattered Cover turning a page
The Denver Business Journal
The Tattered Cover Book Store says good-bye to Denver's Cherry Creek North retail district this weekend, after 35 years there. The bookstore moves out of its prime Cherry Creek location at First and Milwaukee streets on Sunday and reopens at its new home on Monday. The Tattered Cover's new store will be located in the old, 66,000-square-foot Lowenstein Theater at East Colfax Avenue and Elizabeth Street, across from East High School. The bookstore will occupy most of the theater, and will stock the same number of titles it has in Cherry Creek. >> Read More

- New home for Tattered Cover
Denver Post - editorial
The vibes inside the old Lowenstein Theater at Colfax Avenue and Elizabeth Street where the Tattered Cover will open on Monday are warm and friendly, which should come as no surprise. Store owner Joyce Meskis seems to have a knack for finding the charm in adventuresome locations. Tomorrow, the Tattered Cover will close its doors in Cherry Creek at 6 p.m. for the final time, forced out by rising rents. On Monday, at 8:45 a.m., the ribbon will be cut at the new location just about a mile north, across the street from East High School, up from Greek Town and down from a Maaco auto shop. >> Read More

- Encore for a classic
Rocky Mountain News - by Mary Voelz Chandler
How do you turn a theater into a bookstore? In the words of the old joke: "Very carefully." But this is serious business: In one of the most adventurous examples of adaptive reuse in the region, the art moderne Lowenstein Theater - long vacant on East Colfax Avenue - will come alive again June 26. That's when the newest outpost of the Tattered Cover opens in a former hub of dramatic activity that was home to the Denver Civic Theatre for more than 30 years. Carefully? Begin with the floors. >> Read More
