est. 1922

You probably already know this tip for eating in diners: always try for counter seating. That’ll give you a better behind-the-scenes view of the place, and give you the chance to photograph the time-saving technique of putting tableware and napkins in the glasses. You may have a little bit more time to chat with the servers.

And you’ll get to skip the line (which was out the door the day we were there).

First of all, Larimer Square isn’t a square in the, you know, precise and geometric sense of the term. It’s really one block long, with shops and stuff along both sides of the street.

Second, if you go just at dusk, the shop windows become quite photogenic.

At a below-street-level bar I saw a well-used, large-scale Jenga game all stacked and waiting for that night’s patrons to arrive.

The weather was about to turn cool and rainy. But until it did, kids were busy playing in the fountains outside Union Station.

boot heel

The grave marker way down at the end of the cemetery had a thick square wooden post and several cowboy boots hanging from it. This boot, which was in full sun every single afternoon that wasn’t cloudy, was much the worse for that level of sun exposure. I don’t guess I understood how many nails there are in a boot until I saw this one.
