The Daily Commute



I am still taking the bus to work in the morning whenever I can, and then walking the 3 miles in the evenings to Denver's Union Station to catch the light rail train home.  Often I have to change trains at the Broadway Station, where I took the above photograph the other day.  You may not realize it, but you are looking at one of hottest properties in the City of Denver.  before the great recession, the area south of here was going to be the trendiest neighborhood in the city, and among the new businesses was going to be one of Robert Redford's Sundance Theaters.  When the big crash happened, the plans were dropped, and the space has remained undeveloped.  Now there is talk about starting to develop the property, but since the only thing that seems to be built here these days are apartments, that dream neighborhood with a coveted movie theater is probably off the table for good.  Sigh.
