Words, Words, Words

At the corner of Colfax Avenue and Grant Street, across the street from the Capitol Building and catty corner from the Basilica- you will find Capitol Hill Books.
Perhaps one of the greatest treasures in all of Denver; a book store- the way you remembered Book Stores should be.

Namaste

I love Indian food. No really, I do, and since we moved to Denver I have been missing my favorite place in Las Vegas. So imagine my joy to find that Shawn Marie knew of two excellent places right here in the Mile High that would more than ease my longing for Las Vegas.

If you’ve never had the chance to see this energetic show of percussion, then you are missing out! Everything becomes an instrument in the hands of these capable players, resulting in an exciting (if sometimes LOUD) show that everyone can enjoy. […]

The Great Outdoors

Upon my arrival in Colorado, one of the first things I noticed about my new home state was how outdoorsy it was. Everyone was biking everywhere, there were a ton of people walking down the street, and there was no shortage of outdoors shops everywhere I looked.
