Walkabout - Feb 8, 2014

Out and about near 16th and York

Geese expand their territory south of City Park in front of my house. I rarely see them this far from City Park. Note our properly shoveled sidewalks.

With the announcement that the Central Recreation Center (16th and Josephine) will begin design phase, I guess the Wooley Dog Park (world's most expensive at $7 million) will eventually be closed.

The City of Denver never takes its sidewalk shoveling seriously. It will undoubtedly take a law suit to make the City pay attention to it duties, if ever.

Former 7-11 at Colfax and Josephine is getting a facelift.

Across the alley from the Old 7-11, also on Colfax, the Arby's is now gone (did you know that Arby's stood for RB = roast beef?). I remember when it was built, but, as usual, I don't remember what was there before. This corner, Colfax and York, must be very valuable. It is now for lease but I wouldn't be surprised if the building were torn down and replaced with something much bigger, as it includes the parking lot to the south. Maybe a mixed-use 7-story with retail and apartments. Did you know that condo construction in Denver has virtually stopped, due to excessive litigation?

TIME MARCHES ON...BE HAPPY THAT YOU ARE STILL MARCHING WITH IT.
