This was one of those events that I still remember where I was at when it occurred. April 20, 1999…read moredeeply impacted me for many years. It hit close to me because I was still in college at the time and really struggled with understanding how something like this could occur on a school campus. I remember picking up a newspaper the next day and starring at the faces of the victims at the top of the front page for hours. Sadly, many more horrific events like this have happened on other school campuses since Columbine. I have been to this memorial on a couple of occasions. They did a really nice job with it. The Columbine Memorial is right around the corner from Columbine High School in Clement Park. It was dedicated and opened to the public on September 21, 2007. The memorial has bios of each of the thirteen victims and quotes from those from the school that witnessed this horrible event. I have watched many documentaries and read some books on the Columbine tragedy. I guess part of me is still trying to understand why this happened and why it affected me so much. My heart goes out to the families of the victims. I do try to visit here whenever I am in the Denver area. The memorial helps me reflect on that day and brings me peace. I will never reach a point of understanding, but I am thankful a place like this exists for those that need healing.

It is a moving tribute to those who died and a community that build this Memorial for us to remember and honor the fallen, the injured, the parents, the high school teachers and staff who all dealt with this tragedy. I shows us that even in the middle of such atrocities the human spirits and a community can come together to demonstrate the true character of America. Love and compassion will always prevail.

As a Libertarian I applaud the voluntary nature of this recycling (as say, compared with Germany's). As a taxpayer, I wish that it cost less to recycle than to throw everything in the trash.

The big purple wheelie-cans are way better than the little bins, for sure. But when your dirtbag…read morefriends drink as much PBR as ours do, sometimes one wheelie-can just isn't enough. Add in the fact that the Every Other Week pickup plan is just confusing enough (yes, even though we have the calendar on the 'fridge, we quite often forget to haul it out to the alley), and it's sometimes a recipe for a very, very, VERY full wheelie-can. If we set out the overflow recyclables in recycle-friendly containers like cardboard boxes, will you still pick them up? No? You'd be a lot cooler if you did.

The Colorado Veterans Monument is the main component of Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park. This space,…read morebetween Broadway and Lincoln Street, separates the State Capitol grounds from Denver's Civic Center Park. The Veterans Monument is an obelisk designed by Robert Root and Richard Farley. It was dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11th, 1990. It rises 30 feet and is built from Lyons red sandstone. There is a beacon at the top. Five brass plaques show the emblem of each branch of the armed forces. The Fallen Heroes Memorial is intended as a complement to the Monument obelisk. It was dedicated on November 6, 2021 and was designed by Rosenman Associates Architects in consultation with the Monument designers. The Memorial honors the Coloradans killed during World War I, World War Ii, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I am not a fan of the Memorial's design. It is very squat and bulky, the inscriptions are very difficult to read, and it does not blend well with the soaring spirit of the obelisk. This little park is an oasis between the busy government complexes. The Veterans Monument is very successful in providing a quiet space for contemplation amidst the bustle of the city.
