I paid $450 a month for a darling apartment in an old Victorian in Capitol Hill, across the alley from the Molly Brown House. My oldest son, an EMT, is almost 27 and is just now renting his own place with two other guys; he could never afford to live by himself. He works hard 40 hours a week and I will still have to help him with grocery money. How far we have fallen.

Yeah. I saw them a few times around Boulder when I lived there in the 80's. BluesRunTheGame Aug 2020 #2

I know. I was living in Denver, Capitol Hill area, during that time. Laffy Kat Aug 2020 #3

I saw a few shows in Denver. It definitely had a good scene. BluesRunTheGame Aug 2020 #4
