As happens every year, the Christmas decorations are up once again at Union Station, which a number of years ago was transformed into a hipster hangout, with bars, restaurants, and upscale shops. It is now the hub for Denver's light rail system, and there is also daily Amtrak service, with a train to San Francisco leaving in the morning and service to Chicago in the evening. The waiting area for passengers has been reduced from the entire "great hall" to a row of benches at the rear. The Terminal Bar, seen in the photograph above, is a tribute to the old Terminal Bar, where Jack Kerouac used to drink and also rent a room on the second floor. The building it was located in is still there, two blocks away, but is now the home of Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar. Ick!
