Today it is time to do an update on Denver's Colfax Avenue, once called America's longest, wickedest street by none other than Hugh Hefner. Those days are long gone, of course, and the neighborhoods on either side of East Colfax, where the bookstore I work at is located, are all gentrified and pretty pricey. However, on Colfax itself there are still a lot of strange rangers, and a lot of weird sights to see. There is also a lot of street art, like the mural I am posing in front of in the photograph on the left. Just who is Charlie, why does he need cheering up, who painted this mural, and why? So many questions, so little time. However, in just a few weeks I will retire from my job at the bookstore, and will have time to ponder all of these questions. Or perhaps not.
