A Truly Walkable City



We had a bit of snow here in Denver recently, but the next day  - as often happens here  - was bright and sunny.  Being retired, I was able to take full advantage of this and take a brisk walk around Washington Park, which can be seen in the photograph above.  It is quite a treat to be within walking distance of this park, and to live in one of Denver's many walkable neighborhoods.  This would not be the case if I lived in most of Denver's suburbs, which seem to consist mainly of endless rows of apartment complexes and streets lined with ugly strip centers.  I will, of course, refrain from naming the ugliest of these places - such as Lakewood - to avoid raising the hackles of these community's residents.  That's just the kind of guy I am.
