After a brutal five year absence the citizens of Longmont, Colorodo are celebrating again as Taco Johns returns on Main Street. The place has remained empty and an eyesore to this struggling community for years and many residents had long given up hope that their favorite cheap Mexican place would ever reopen. The residents fears a Taco Bell might reopen and city assemblymen were quick to put a local ordinance to dispel this possibility.
After five long years Taco Johns corporate offices decided that the citizens of this old mini g town had suffered enough and they apparently got the council to lower some taxes to bring back this jumping Taco joint and franchise back the "ruby" city of Longmont. The last Taco Johns had been at this 933 Main Street location for thirty three years before falling victim of the recession that hit this remote town of junkies and antique dealers really hard. Local citizen Elmer Wyatt was excited to see this Taco Johns reopen. "The city hasn't been the same since it went away" he said. I remember the day it went from a Taco House to Taco Johns back in the mid seventies and this location has been selling tacos forever ...it seems". the nostalgia the citizens of this town had for cheap tacos goes way back yet they don't seem to want any more Taco Bells or prefer to see it regulated towards the back parts of this Village. Taco Johns are a great brand to rural Americans who can't seem to get big time investors willing to bring more luxury versions of Mexican restaurants to certain regions and keep it in the major cities of America
