A Sunday Afternoon On La Grande 26th Street


I went for a walk around Sloan's Lake here in Denver with Valarie - my friend and former DU Bookstore co-worker - Sunday afternoon, and afterwards we had lunch at the Providence Tavern in nearby Edgewater. The restaurant has a copy of Georges Seurat's A Sunday On La Grande Jatte on the outside of the building - I assume because the town of Edgewater is so much like Paris.  And if this is indeed so, why is the place named the Providence Tavern?  Is it some kind of hangout for ex-Rhode Islanders?  Do they have ex-Rhode Islanders around here, and do they have any Rhode Island sports teams to watch on the wide screen televisions?  These are the kind of questions that keep me up at night.  Valarie, by the way, is doing well, still likes her job as Office Manager of the Action Center of Jefferson County, and doesn't seem to be concerned about these Rhode Island issues at all.
