Bling king Steve Rosdal retired from Hyde Park Jewelers a few years back, but he was itching to get in the biz in some capacity.
Now he has opened SHR Jewelry Associates at 231 Milwaukee St. in Cherry Creek North. Rosdal’s new business specializes in diamond acquisitions from private individuals and dealers.
He will also be purchasing and selling estates and previously owned fine watches, precious metals and jewelry.
Rosdal started his career in the jewelry business in 1973 and built extensive experience in fine timepieces, diamonds and fine jewelry.
“I am excited to get back to the aspects I love most about the jewelry industry,” Rosdal said.
The officce of SHR Jewelry Associates is not the typical retail jewelry store model. It has a small showroom , but most of its sales will come from the personalized service that Rosdal and director Jourdan Block offer.
Through his connections in the jewelry community, Rosdal is able to source specific pieces, whether watches or fine jewelry, for his customers.
SHR Jewelry Associates is open by appointment only by calling 720-379-6505 or by contacting Rosdal at steve@steverosdal.com.
More Tebow time
Former Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow who now plays for The Jets has signed a deal to be the “spokesmodel” for TiVo, the TV recording device.
According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter,” the 25-year-old athlete will spread the gospel of TiVo via a social media and national advertising campaign including a series of TV commercials,” the company said. “TiVo will also offer a ‘Tim Tebow Zone’ listing Tebow’s favorite shows, movies and recommendations for kids’ programming.
“I had no idea how great TiVo was until I started using it,” Tebow said in a statement Wednesday. “I was blown away by the TiVo experience — it was so much more than I thought. With always being on the road, I love having the ability to find exactly what I am looking for and watch it anywhere, any time.”
Tebow can add TiVo to his endorsement roster, which includes Jockey International, Nike and FRS Healthy Performance energy drinks. You can read the rest of the story at http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tim-tebow-lands-tivo-endorsement-390393.
Boffo Bender’s
Bender’s Bar and Grill at 10710 Westminster Blvd. in Westminster has been taken over recently by former Denver Post sports columnist Jim Amstrong, along with restaurant-partner veterans Rich Salturelli, who owns City Pub at Yosemite and Hampden, Chris Fuselier, owner of The Blake Street Tavern, and CU Boulder sports information director Dave Plati.
Armstrong, who never met a sports subject he didn’t like to debate, will be on site four to five days a week to chat and argue with customers. But his new passion is this sports bar with 26 big screen TVs, including two on the patio.
“I’m a card-carrying wing junkie, so I made it a point to have awesome wings,” Armstrong said. And he wasn’t wrong. On a recent taste test, Mr.On the Town and I were pleasantly pleased with the menu selections. We sampled wings of all sorts, brat burgers, sweet Italian sausage, honey bourbon brats, cheddar brats, beer brats, spicy chicken italian sausage, extremely spicy Polish sausage and regular brats boiled in beer and spices, plus bottomless baked beans and homemade chips.
If you’re watching your waistline, you can wash it all down with a Diet Pepsi. But the sports-bar enthusiasts will likely enjoy the selection of 16 brewskis on tap along with $1.99 for Coors, Coors Lite and Miller Lite all day every day, plus a “boatload of microbrews on tap”.
Overlooking the green rink at the Ice Centre you can catch some fun local hockey games or enjoy the great patio overlooking the Promenade Fountain.

Taxi turkeys
For the 20th year in a row, Metro Taxi drivers will volunteer to deliver meals to residents in need by delivering food from the legendary Daddy Bruce Randolph Thanksgiving program on Saturday.
Metro Taxi Denver drivers will assist the Epworth Foundation’s annual Denver Feed a Family Thanksgiving program by delivering more than 1,800 food baskets to Denver residents unable to leave their homes.
At midnight tonight, three city blocks surrounding Epworth United Methodist Church at 3401 High St. will be closed to set up a giant assembly line for Thanksgiving food baskets.
After hundreds of volunteers sort and pack the food that Wal-Mart has donated and hauled in, volunteer drivers from Metro Taxi will begin delivering food baskets to the elderly and shut-ins Saturday morning.
The drivers will navigate more than 120 routes and make more than 1,800 personal deliveries to needy residents in northeast Denver who would otherwise not have access to the donations.
“This is not a business decision for us, this is simply the right thing for us to do and we are so proud of our drivers who step up to help their neighbors,” said Metro Taxi Denver Operations Manager Bobby McBride. “We have people on staff here who have been helping feed families through the Daddy Bruce Thanksgiving program for 20 years. The giving spirit of Daddy Bruce Randolph that the Epworth Foundation carries on is an important tradition to the community and to our company.”
