Today is St. Patrick's Day, and people here in Denver just love to celebrate this holiday. This is not because we have such a large Irish population, but because we have such a large number of 20-somethings, who like any excuse to party, be it St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, Opening Day at Coors Field, or, of course, New Year's Eve. I took the photograph above in front of Scruffy Murphy's Irish Pub this past Saturday, where revelers were out in full force. This saloon is located between Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo) and the River North (RINO) neighborhood, both of which are popular with hipsters. In fact, there are so many young adults moving to Denver that there is a shortage of upscale apartments in the trendier neighborhoods. I suspect these newcomers are probably forced to live with up to 10 roommates, just so they can have access to a brew pub every half block. Happily, real estate developers are building high rise apartments like crazy to alleviate this problem. Enjoy those Guinnesses guys, and don't even think about whether it is your turn to do the cleaning this week.
