The Christmas tree is now up at Denver's Union Station. Does this seem a little early to you, too? Not only that, but stores are filled with holiday merchandise, and Christmas commercials are already running on TV. I suppose it is the same every year, but it is still a shock to the system. Wasn't it just summer? Union Station, by the way, was renovated and turned into a playground for the city's hipsters a few years ago, with a hotel, restaurants, shops, and a large central area with plenty of comfy furniture. The Terminal Bar, seen in the background of the above photograph, was named in honor of the original Terminal Bar, located a few blocks away and now the home of Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar. The original Terminal Bar was also a favorite watering hole of Jack Kerouac, who is said to have rented a room upstairs. Good thing Kerouac isn't still around to see it. I have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't a sushi kind of guy.
