Beth Rankin has been the director of audience at The Denver Post since April 2022. Previously, she was The Post's entertainment editor and has worked as a breaking, travel, food and entertainment reporter, photojournalist and digital strategist at newspapers in Ohio and Texas.

A national real estate firm said workers feel unsafe outside its office building at 18th and Blake in LoDo, an issue that it lays at the feet of its ground-floor tenant: 7-Eleven.This debate between landlord and tenant played out in letters between lawyers last year. It escalated Oct. 16 when 7-Eleven’s corporate office sued the owner of 1755 Blake St.

So, Unico began billing 7-Eleven for the two full-time security guards and one part-time day porter that it hired at 1755 Blake St. The convenience store paid $20,000 to Unico under protest in December, then refused to pay another $54,000 that Unico demanded in March. Meanwhile, the convenience store wants that $20,000 it paid in protest back. It claims that Unico broke its lease when it charged 7-Eleven for security, a landlord responsibility.

Three attorneys from Clark Hill, a national law firm, represent 7-Eleven. The LoDo store is operated by a franchisee, who is not identified in the lawsuit.
