Yeee Haw






Saddle up, cowgirls and boys, it's Stock Show time in Denver. Went to the parade last week and was reminded of what so charmed me about Denver in 1977 when we moved to the area. 1977 Denver was still Cowtown Denver. The Longhorn Saloon, Lane's Tavern on West Colfax (which literally did not have a men's room - there were trees out back), and Shepler's in its heyday. If you went to El Chapultepec, you were escorted from your car to the bar by a bouncer. No foo-foo Lo-Do goin' on. Attached are pics from the parade, graced by a local old girl in her Western finery - Ms Mary Lowe Green. Pictures courtesy of lb holden, talented photographer, papermaker, bookbinder, et al.

Giddy-up.
