By Jen cintora The Rocky Mountain Collegian

In a city with more than 600 restaurants and 30 bars, it can be hard to keep track of every daily special and happy- hour times. That’s why CSU alumnus Brandon Tompkins decided to start mealticker.com, a free site where diners can find out where the best prices around town are. “I got tired of sitting down at restaurants and seeing great daily lunch specials that I had no idea about and knew I wouldn’t remember,” Tomp- kins said. The site currently highlights mainly Fort Collins and some Loveland businesses. With time, Tompkins hopes to include the Denver area. To get the specials, Tomp- kins makes monthly rounds to participating restaurants or pulls the promotions off their Web sites. Several restaurants can log on to the site and in- put their own weekly specials, a process that Tompkins hopes all participants will eventually use. “I hope…that a restaurant can benefit from logging on aaron Montoya | COLLEGIAN the Web site early on a rainy Cheyanne VanDyke, a freshman psychology major, takes heed to bicycle care advice given to her by Ben Portilla, a local R.E.I. master shop technician, Tuesday day and enter a soup special,” afternoon in the Lory Student Center plaza during the third annual Live Well Fair.
