Buckfifty.org

For those who don't know, Denver quietly turned 150 last November. To celebrate the city's sesquicentennial, Hugh Graham, Hadley Hooper, and a few other creative folks have put together a really fun website called buckfifty.org. For the past few months, locals (and not-so-locals) have submitted interesting pieces about the city's history, personal memories, and other bits that paint a human picture of the town so many of us love.

Today's buckfifty post is one I wrote about Zeckendorf Plaza, a wonderful public space that once existed downtown, but is no longer. Many thanks to Hugh and Hadley for finding some marvelous images of Zeckendorf and posting them on the site. I love the one that shows the miniature golf course.

And there's a mention of my post on Westword's blog The Latest Word. How cool is that!?
