After being canceled last year due to the coronavirus, I am happy to report that the Highlands Street Fair returned this past Saturday bigger and better than ever. This is one of the largest neighborhood festivals in Denver, and featured booths selling food, as well as a variety of merchandise. The event was very dog friendly, and there were a number of booths catering to dogs, not to mention their owners, since dogs don't usually carry credit cards.
The Highlands neighborhood is just a short distance from downtown, and has become very trendy over the years. When I first moved to Denver, it was touted as a lower cost alternative to Washington Park, one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. These days, don't even think about looking for affordable housing in the Highlands. If you want to enjoy living there, you will have to ante up. But I have to say that the booth for Nostalgic Homes - which specializes in property in that neighborhood and has offices in a large Victorian home there - was doing a land-office business, so to speak. Probably still more Californians wanting to move here and live the good life. Also very popular was the classic blue Cadillac seen in the photograph on the right, which I assume the Nostalgic Homes people use to take clients on home tours. Nice tail fins!
