Denver's Golden Triangle neighborhood is located just south of downtown, bordered by Colfax on the north, Speer Boulevard on the west and south, and Broadway on the east. The area is home to 8 museums, and it seems like every other block has a new high-rise apartment building going up. It is a very desirable neighborhood, and the apartments on Speer are especially expensive - one bedroom one bath units at the Parq start at $2,400 a month and go up from there. Two bedroom two bath units start at $4,300 per month, and there are actually not that many available to rent. Who are these people who can afford that? What do they do for a living? Are they looking for 70 year old trainees? I am available. But I digress. I took the above photograph the other day as I was walking to the Denver Art Museum (The DAM). That high rise under construction is being built right next to the Evans School, which was built in 1904 and named after Governor John Evans, who is, by the way, now being canceled for his role in the Sand Creek Massacre. Because of this, Mount Evans, to the west of Denver, is expected to be renamed Mount Blue Sky. The building was a school for almost 70 years, but is now an office and retail complex. Will it be renamed Blue Sky School? Only time will tell.
