True, Colfax and its environs are a lot less gritty than they used to be. Still, Uptown is grittier than, say, Larimer Square or other downtown areas.

I’ve been to Amsterdam, but I don’t actually remember the red lights, just the women in the windows.

Uptown’s not gritty. Colfax and south are the grittier parts, and not so much these days. Just the occasional whacked out crackwhore wandering around.

I’m not sure about the train thing, but the “red light district” is universal throughout the world. In Amsterdam, the red light district is still quite literal. As in, red light’s are still used when a hooker is available.

Sorry, Steph, about the button. I don’t know what’s wrong with it. When I add the Meta block to my blog, that RSS feed doesn’t work either. I just meant you could go to reader.google.com and type in my URL and it would add me. Sorry if it was confusing.

Hmmm, I don’t get it. When I click on the button I should get something that allows me to choose Google or whatever and add you to my reader. But all I get is a page of code. And I don’t understand your tip above…

Thanks, Amber, that was nice! I have blogged before, on Blogger, as Price of Silence (which is under Fiction on this site) and Inland, Dreaming. I guess they were my practice runs.

Good gracious! You’ve only been around for a month? You sure hide it well! You are the epitome of a seasoned blogger!

Steph, my RSS feed works in Google reader. If you’re using Yahoo, it doesn’t seem to work. You could try typing “bethpartin.com/feed/” into your reader and see if that works. If you’re in Google reader, you can leave the “feed” part off.

One of these days I will get someone to look at the button and other aspects of this theme.

That picture at the top is from Illegal Grounds coffeehouse, out in the courtyard. It was really pretty there late in the afternoon.

Harmony, what do you mean by “my blog model”? The theme? Or what I write about?

Yes Beth, I had the same problem with your RSS…
I was born in Greeley. It’s nice to see Denver highlights.
Your blog model is really interesting.

One more thing. I don’t think your RSS button is working properly. I just get code when I click on it.

I am always up for a history lesson: that red-light district tidbit is cool! I had no idea.

I’ve never been to Denver, and I don’t live there now, but your posts do paint a nice image, especially when you’re out and about and writing at the same time.

I LOVE the first pic you have posted there in the top left of the post! Where is that?

PS. Hey, thanks for the link, Beth!

It can be nice then too–if you like snow. Do you?

Personally, my snow limit is pretty low. Which makes it funny that I live here, except the snow usually melts quickly, and it’s dry, so it doesn’t feel as cold as Kansas City and DC did.

Nice uptown tour, Beth. The only times I’ve been in Denver were when it was covered in snow.

Yeah, I think it’s underappreciated. It’s got these little eruptions of restaurants and shops among all the residential and services. It’s interesting–I like neighborhoods that feel unfinished.

That was a nice article. Makes me want to go check out the area, since I haven’t hung out there much in the past.
