43-year-old Ethiopian restaurant on East Colfax seized for unpaid taxes

Africana Restaurant & Cafe has closed after 43 years, as a result of unpaid taxes and is now in the possession of the state of Colorado, according to a notice hanging on its door this week.

A notice of public sale by the order of the Executive Director Colorado Department of Revenue states that the restaurant owes $24,734 worth of unpaid taxes. When properties are seized, they are typically auctioned off to recover the amount due. Josh Rosenblum with the city’s Department of Finance previously told The Denver Post that this process is usually a last resort.
