I took the photograph above of the Bonnie Brae Ice Cream shop this past Wednesday afternoon as I was walking home from getting a haircut in Denver's Cherry Creek neighborhood. Even on a weekday afternoon, the place was packed, which was not a surprise, since it was such a hot day. It does remind me of the line spoken by Michael Moore in his 1989 documentary Roger and Me. He stated that he moved from his hometown of Flint, Michigan - where so many people were out of a job and looking for work - to San Francisco, where everyone had a job but nobody seemed to work. Has Denver taken up that mantel now that the place is filled with Californians? Perhaps so.
