All in the Name of Work: December 2022

Halloween at Chapman University (10/28/2010)

Chapman took time for fun on the holidays, such as Halloween. This was the year the law school's submission to the Pumpkin contest was a patient in a wheelchair, with everyone dressed to support the theme in medical garb.

Part IV: Denver in July (2010)

In conclusion, I have to say, I found Denver a very enjoyable place to visit. It was colorfully attractive, and seemed like a nice place to be if you were looking to fill your time with pleasant sights/sites, sounds, tastes, and experiences.

At the time, the Plaza at Riverfront Park (above) housed Little Raven Vineyards wine shop; Community Banks of Colorado; Esquire Fabricare dry cleaners; Ink Coffee (coffee and sandwiches); Jay’s Parkside Cafe; Colorado Petfitters; the Zengo Restaurant; McLoughlin’s Restaurant and Bar; Riverfront Athletic Club; and Platte Forum community arts center.

Part III of Denver in July, 2010

As mentioned in the previous post, I took lots of pictures. So, for a sense of Denver, Colorado, at least as it was in July of 2010, here's some of the street views.

Above, is the 16th Street Mall. I enjoyed my walks along this street. The many colorful pedestrians lent an air of casual friendliness.

I didn't see cars on 16th Street Mall--probably they are not allowed. I did see busses, horse carts, and bikes aplenty.

Now, that's a cool bike.

And this is definitely the street for dog walking. This young lady in her black and white stripes had a couple of super cute black accessories (yes, I'm referring to the Dachshunds).

I'm not the only one who thought her dogs were cute--or were the dogs just his excuse to talk to the pretty girl?

No city is complete without a river that runs through it!

Or flowers and trees that adorn it's apartment fronts.

I'm not sure exactly what this is--it was on a back street of sorts. I just thought it was pretty.

And this is the Colorado Capitol Building

This is back on 16th Street Mall--there are few pictures of this street that do not have one of those free buses in it.

Being early July, I'm not sure if these flags were erected for Independence day, or if they were permanent fixtures.

Another free bus, I'm not sure what the police escort is about--probably not truly an escort, but it made for a great picture..

Thanks for visiting!

Part II of Denver in July (2010): The Tattered Cover Book Store

I can't recall what parts of life so engrossed me that I stopped posting blogs, but I see I ended one in this "All about Work" category, about Denver, Colorado--way back in July of 2010, with a "stay tuned for more Denver in July". I do hope no one was holding their breath, as it's been 12+ years since then.

I took a lot of Conference photos, since the reason I was in Denver was to attend an American Association of Law Libraries conference--and of course those include photos of the Denver Conference Center, and its big blue bear outside staring through the window; and I took a lot of architectural type photos, some street photos, some critter (dogs, birds, squirrels, horses) photos; some café photos; and more . . . but the ones I will feature here, even though the lighting was awful, so the photos are dark and grainy, are the ones of the late "Tattered Cover Book Store" that, at the time was at 1628 16th St. Mall (Denver, CO 80202). I say "late", because the company closed this particular branch, but the company does still exist with 7 locations around Denver, CO, and apparently three outlets at the Denver International Airport. I can't imagine the airport locations would be especially interesting, since what I loved about this store was the way the entire store was designed, with high ceilings, lots of reading nooks, and comfortable furniture.
