Yesterday was both Linda's birthday and the 80th anniversary of the Bonnie Brae Tavern, a South Denver landmark, and so it was a double celebration. Linda is, of course, the wife of Wally, my friend and former co-worker at the DU Bookstore, and in honor of her birthday (I assume), the Bonnie Brae Tavern lowered the price of beer to 80 cents. Yes! Eighty Cents! I haven't seen prices like that since back in Chicago, when the old Florence Hotel in the Pullman neighborhood used to advertise nickel beer on a huge banner I could see as I rode past on the Illinois Central, commuting to a job downtown at Highland Electric. But I digress. After celebrating at the Bonnie Brae, we had cake and ice cream at Linda and Wally's house, where I took the above photograph, despite Linda's protestations about taking any Blog photos. And you can see how that turned out.
