Brothels, six shooters, saloons and other myths we should probably dispel!

Yeah, lured you in with the Brothels, didn’t we?

I really liked this article, Denver: Rocky Mountain hip.  What is the deal with Denver being called “the old west”, I mean maybe back in 1908, but it is a century later, and that get’s a big WTF in my book?  I’m glad that someone took the time to write an article advising people to leave their cowboy boots at home!  I am from Texas (and yes, I will admit that freely!) and was REALLY glad to leave my boots on the curb when I moved “west” in 1994.  So, perception, perhaps, especially if you’re from Connecticut this is definitely the old west, but not from Nacogdoches, TX, home of trucks (really big trucks), confederate flags and rifles…so Denver, old west?…not so much!  Yes, we “pony up” a lot, but it is for all things good, riding bikes to work, utilizing mass transportation, recycling, taking advantage of locally grown organic foods, ok, this wasn’t meant to go on the “green” bandwagon, just a moment to comment on the fact, that Denver is hip and I’m glad someone took notice!  Thanks, Seattle!
