Photo: Cervantes – the former Casino Cabaret | By Pattrik Perez, | It’s safe to say Denver’s Five Points neighborhood has undergone a lot of changes over the years. “Gosh, it has changed so much,” longtime business owner Maedella Stiger said Tuesday. “Things people could not do [are] doing it now.” She and her husband have owned Franklin Stiger Afro Styling on Welton Street for half a century.
“I love Five Points. I walk it every day,” Stiger said.
That’s how she learned Casino Cabaret, a historic music venue just a block south from her barbershop, had gotten a new look.
Prior to changes made in February 2020, the venue had a single front door that was surrounded by blocks of glass. Now, three hollow metal doors are in its place, with no glass blocks in sight.
“The whole front part portion of it has been totally redesigned,” Charles Foster said.
He’s been helping Stiger fight to get the original design back. For them, the issue is deeper than the design of an entrance.
