I took the above photograph the other day of the Brown Palace Hotel (seen on the right) while walking toward Denver's 16th Street Mall and the RTD light rail train home. The Brown Palace was built in 1892, and since that time has been the most prestigious hotel in the city. It has an 8 story atrium, where during non-Covid times, Afternoon Tea is served. This atrium is lavishly decorated for the holidays, with a huge tree rising up amongst the tea goers. However, I have not been there this year, feeling that it would just not be the same due to coronavirus restrictions. And next month, the annual invitation to the National Western Stock Show's Grand Champion Steer to have High Tea in the atrium has already been canceled, not to mention the National Western Stock Show itself. It is of course sad that so many traditions have had to be skipped due to the pandemic. However, as Chicago Cubs fans always say, wait until next year!
