‘Happily gentrifying since 2014’: Denver coffee shop sign sparks fury

The Colorado coffeehouse chain ink! became a lightning rod for economic ire on Wednesday, after one of its Denver stores displayed a message on its sidewalk sandwich-board that read: “Happily Gentrifying The Neighborhood Since 2014.”

On the back, the sign said: “Nothing Says Gentrification Like Being Able To Order A Cortado.”
