Walk (and bus!) With Me in Denver #19
Walk With Me in Denver: Downtown Edition
Today I actually went downtown for the first time in a while. This consisted of walking a few miles AND bussing, because I wasn't up for ~10 miles today.
Waiting for ze bus:
On ze bus!
these are both Cheesman Park
And now we are off ze bus:
I have never had any idea what this thing that looks like fucked up ship rigging is
Sushi place
Look @lyndsaybowes! Wood as decoration!
You know you're downtown when the alleys look like this
(Free!) espresso acquired!
On the 16th Street Mall. I felt very touristy taking these photos, so I hope you appreciate them! 😉
Moo
More mooing
You might have noticed we're a cow town
The clocktower
There was a holiday market on the mall:
Yup, there are really pianos on the mall!
Old church amidst skyscrapers
The cash register building is considered a Denver skyline landmark (on the left)
Somebody dressed the ballerina statues again. I'm thinking this is official, though: those dresses look nutcracker-y
I don't even play Pokemon and I hope there's a gym in there (it's a restaurant)
Supposedly this reopens on Sunday! It's been getting rebuilt for like two years!
The capitol building
The pioneers water fountain (turned off for winter)
Walking down Colfax now:
Popped in to Vitamin Cottage for a few groceries. There were brats in the Yule market, and they smelled SO GOOD, so I had to buy some!
🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶It's December on the (route) 15 🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵 (bus)
Back off the bus and almost home
Actual plant life!
Whew! All done. Thanks for walking another 5k with me in Denver! We are crushing my new virtual race, y'all.
Awesome job! I like the "Free Subs Yesterday" sign lol. Thanks for sharing your walk with us.
A while back, a local fast food chain's adverts were all jokes about how their chickens and cows don't do drugs (because legal pot. Similarly, the ads on buses for Totino's pizza rolls were all jokes about having the munchies). This sub shop's sign said something like, "our chickens totally do drugs!"
Hahaha That's hilarious. Seems like some good humor down there in Denver and I approve!
Ahhh looks like a wee piece of home to me haha! Just brilliant!
I super appreciated the wood display too, that had me laughing and shaking my head...must have been just for me! This was a really great #walkwithme, so many details, and I felt like I was on the bus with you. I swear I saw the same piano in @davedickeyyall's last walk! <3 <3
Three different pianos! They are strategically placed along the pedestrian mall.
We were there on the same day! I should have chalked a message, then Dave would have seen me, perhaps. 😁
That is so synchronistic, I hope one day I will see a Steemit post with you two in it!!
That thing that looks like fucked up ship rigging is actually the mast and cables that keep Denver Millennium Bridge from falling down :)
Oh hey! I have been enlightened. Thanks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_Millennium_Bridge
@lyndsaybowes ... you saw the piano but didn't notice the cow?
@phoenixwren ... Did you find any dollars?
I didn't! We were there on the same day, even. So if you see me chalking one day...
