Do you remember when the Peoples' Fair was at East High? When it was a treat to eat at the Denver? When Fashion Bar had everything in fashion? When the Art Museum architecture was known all over the nation as radical? When driving to Boulder was easy and Central City looked like a real mining town, Louisville, Lafayette, and Longmont were not called "suburbs", and Gold Hill was a real hippie place? And Naropa was "far out"? When going to the slopes for a day was no problem? But we still have the Satire and some of the same great people!
