Fireworks Fizzle on New Xcel Building

We had great hopes for how the Coors Field Fireworks would reflect off the new Xcel office buidling at 18th and Larimer last weekend. Watching the fireworks from a rooftop deck just a few blocks from the field, the reflections off the towers of Downtown just add to the show.

But, this new buidling with its blue hue in the daytime turned into a black hole. No light. No reflections. All that for a rate increase!

Later, Denver by the Slice had to walk the local dog. A woman came wobbling down Wynkoop, wearing an American Flag. She said, "I'm a mess. Do you have your cellphone with you?" Unsure just who she was asking, the dog and I looked at each other. Neither one of us had gone out that night with our phone. Lesson noted. Woman wobbled away on down Wynkoop.
