Walking into the office this morning, I noticed this lone soldier sitting empty on the address numbers of the building.
Yes. To answer your question. That’s an empty fifth of Kentucky Bourbon. Looks like someone had a good night in front of our building. We always love it when our neighbors let us know what they’ve [...]

While Heather and I were taking a refreshing lunchtime cruiser ride around the Greater Five Points Area, we discovered something eye-opening and historic. Our little hood is home to the Black American West Museum. Now, what history it holds inside, exactly we don’t know. We were so moved by the front sidewalk, we didn’t [...]

I swear, biking to work makes me a better person.
Yes, I am saving the world one carbon atom a pedal, but that’s just a benefit. After all, I love cars. It’s the day to day interaction with the environment that really brings out a different consciousness.

Behold, our fair Larimer street has become a gallery for street artists and we couldn’t be happier.
