Help save Susie’s
Dear Editor:
I just learned that Susie’s, Aspen’s beloved consignment shop, will be closing or relocating out of Aspen because Susie cannot find an affordable place to rent in town.
Susie’s is a treasure for locals and visitors alike. I know people who land at the airport, drop their bags at the hotel and go straight to Susie’s to shop.
Susie’s is a treasure, from finding high-quality clothing at an affordable price to the truly kind staff to the joy that comes from finding a gem.
Susie’s is a treasure in a town losing many of its treasures. Let’s bring this issue to the community’s attention. Let’s save Susie’s.

Genstar’s Jean-Pierre Conte sued in Aspen by ex-girlfriend Hillary Thomas
The former girlfriend of Jean-Pierre Conte, the chairman and managing director of the private equity firm Genstar Capital, filed suit Thursday in Aspen claiming that Conte committed assault, battery, and violated the terms of a 2021 separation agreement. Hillary Thomas claims in her lawsuit that during her more than nine years with Conte, she helped parent his four children and her two children “whom they raised in a blended family.”
