I drove up to Fort Collins from Denver Saturday afternoon to have dinner with my sister and brother-in-law, and arrived early enough to walk around Old Town Fort Collins for a little while. Everyone seemed mellow and serene, and the place reminded me a bit of the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, what with all the street musicians and performers. Little did I know that just a few hours later there would be a riot in town by out of control Colorado State University students. And this is not the first such incident. Plus, just a few months ago there was a cat-napping incident at The Northern Hotel. A couple of college age kids made some sort of request at the desk, which was denied, and soon after the hotel's resident pussy was pilfered. Fortunately the cat was recovered a few days later, and the town has quickly recovered from it's most recent party / riot / football victory celebration. I strongly recommend the town as a great place to visit, but it might be best to leave your cat at home.
