Back in Montrose

Returned to Montrose today with the Airstream; staying at Cedar Creek - same RV Park I stayed in last time through. Resupplying and looking at real estate before taking the southern route (Highway 160 to 285) back to Denver (last full week of June) to address (again) AS and computer maintenance issues. 

Montrose is a nice town.  I like the size and it seems to retain its agricultural and western roots.  Lunched at Gurus today; advertises as the first Indian and Nepalese restaurant in Montrose. Ordered Vegetable Chili from the menu; it was ok. Arrived around 1:30pm; the buffet was pretty well depleted at that time and I typically order from the menu anyway. 

Lunch buffets seem to be a common business model adopted by many restaurants these days. Too bad; in my experience, cheap lunch buffets tend to attract a type of customer that may be more interested in quantity than quality. Seems like a race to the bottom for restaurants that follow this model. I'm not criticizing; just an unscientific observation. Tough to make it in the restaurant business under any business model; I wish them well.

Downtown Montrose boasts two bakeries across the street from each other on Main. One is a Great Harvest franchise; the other - Daily Bread Bakery and Cafe. Haven't purchased anything from either but imagine it must be tough for both to survive in a town the size of Montrose; especially given their proximity to each other.
