A least for this week, I am taking the bus to the Bookstore where I work each morning and then walking the 3 miles to the Union Station Light Rail Station in the evenings. The weather has been very pleasant here lately, and the walk provides great opportunities for people watching. Walking down Colfax Avenue (once called the longest, wickedest street in America), you can see homeless people, hipsters, and crazies on every block. Once you get to Union Station (seen in the photograph above), it is all hipsters, although just a couple of years ago, before the big remodel, it used to be all homeless people. The final leg of my trip to the Light Rail Station is through the new, underground bus station Denver's Regional Transportation District has constructed. Everyone says it is just like walking through an airport terminal. And they mean that as a complement. Evidently Denver's citizenry is easily pleased.
