Fire Suddenly Shuts Down 30+ Year-Old Colorado Restaurant

It's never good to hear about one of Colorado's favorite destination restaurants being in trouble. A very unique spot that has been around for over 30 years, may be in jeopardy.

This is restaurant that families have been going to for generations, to have dinner and watch planes take off. The Perfect Landing has had a perfect name for decades; here's to hoping that things get back to "perfect."'

I can't imagine how fun it must be to have a meal so close to where planes are landing and taking off; it must be a phenomenal experience for kids. The Perfect Landing has been open since 1992, pleasing thousands and thousands of Colorado diners.
