Still Another Colfax Update

I recently got a part-time job to help with expenses until I retire next year (God and Donald Trump willing).  I underwent a week of computer training, and as an added bonus, the trainer gave me her cold.  I was therefore forced to go to Walgreen's to buy the generic equivalent of Sudafed, sold to you only after showing your driver's license and agreeing to an especially excruciating background check.  The nearest Walgreen's to my day job is right on Denver's Colfax Avenue, just across the street from 2 iconic landmarks, one of which - Pete's Cafe - can be seen in the photograph on the left.

And just two doors down is Satire Lounge, which has one of the most famous neon signs on Colfax. Satire is one of Denver's most popular dive bars.  Bob Dylan once sang here during the brief time he lived in Denver, and The Smothers Brothers, who lived in the apartment upstairs, were discovered here.  Judy Collins, who was attending nearby East High School at the time, also sang here. The neon signs on Colfax Avenue, by the way, were declared endangered by a group called Colorado Preservation Inc, and it was proposed that these signs be declared an historic "signs" district to help preserve them.  My favorite is the Big Bunny Motel sign.  This motel, by the way, was once the home of Sue Lyon, who starred as Lolita in the 1962 movie of the same name.  Lyon once got into an argument with the motel's manager and threatened to jump out the window. However, since the window was at ground level, the threat did not have too much dramatic impact. Ah!  The memories!
