I do too. I think the same architect must have done Mark Twain and Hawthorne. Beth Partin’s last blog post..Golden Triangle, Denver: To Splurge?

Yes, she was precise, Bernard, but I also think she's difficult to categorize. That's why I said that. Beth Partin’s last blog post..Capitol Hill: The Poetry of Denver’s Buildings

Very insightful post, Beth. I would say it is most difficult to critique statements from a world past with today’s labels.

I think a number on the Emily Dickinson building would have been fitting. Her use of language was very precise.

This is a cool article. But, I hate to break this to you: you don't have a younger sister. Your sisters are both older than you. Todd Bradley’s last blog post..Cheerleader Ninjas

I think Kerouac and Ginsberg and Cassady are still too anti-establishment for some people. All the redevelopment in Denver in the 1970s was designed to eliminate the kind of places where they hung out. And I do want to go to Charlie Brown's--just haven't gotten there yet.

I've always liked the Robert Frost and the Mark Twain. I think those are the best on the block. As for the monstrosity that is the Beauvallon... I think it was going for the Park Avenue look, rather than a naturalist Frost poem. I think, maybe, the building will look better in a hundred years when it's surrounded by other towers. Incidentally, you should note the Charlie Brown bar one block away, where Kerouac and Ginsberg and Cassady used to hang. It's odd that none of them got a building named after him, since none of the above poets actually ever lived in Denver and they all spent a substantial amount of time here. saint facetious’s last blog post..Languages and more languages

I also like the new format, I usually read you in a feed reader. I love orange. The new theme is very crisp. Catherine’s last blog post..Scenic
