Unfortunately, it seems like these days Coloradans are receiving far more bad news about local businesses closing than news of grand openings, anniversaries, or even just local happenings.

However, one popular music venue in one of the Centennial State's biggest college towns that has always served as a haven for local musicians has just celebrated a notable milestone.

Fort Collins Colorado Music Venue Celebrates 45 Years

While the college town of Fort Collins, Colorado has no shortage of great music venues, one establishment located outside of the bustling old town neighborhood of the town has served the local music community for almost half a century.

Avogadro's Number, located at 605 South Mason Street in the Choice City has officially been serving the local music community for over 45 years.

A recent post from the official Facebook page of Avogadro's Number revealed the milestone, celebrating the man responsible for the venue and restaurant's existence and subsequent longevity, Rob Osborne.

While the post itself was nothing short of honorable to Avo's longtime leader, but the comments below the post directed at Osborne shared a similar sentiment.

For example, Joe K. posted the following comment on the original post from Avogadro's Number:

Avogadros is a most venerable and iconic centerpiece of Fort Collins. It is more than the food, music and atmosphere. More like a living entity. Thanks Rob. Don't stop.

In a time where it seems like more establishments that celebrate music and the arts are closing, it's incredibly reassuring to see Avogadro's Number celebrate 45 years.
