Tonight the annual Grand Illumination takes place at Denver's Union Station. This event starts at 5:00 P.M. and features holiday classics sung by the Denver Dolls (an Andrews Sisters style musical group), Santa and Mrs. Claus posing for photos with children in the crowd, and the lighting of the 40 foot tall Christmas tree in front of the station. The inside of Union Station was remodeled a number of years ago into a hipster haven, with lots of bars, restaurants, and shops, and it too is decorated for the holidays. I took the photograph above last year, as I waited for what seems like hours for the station to be lit up so I could take a photograph and get home and out of the cold. Does that sound grinchy to you? It should. That's me in a nutshell.
