I had 10 minutes with the Denver Post yesterday and ended up in the Real Estate section. Some random stuff there. "Harvard Communities is giving Segway Human Transporters to the buyers of its Architecture Collection series at Stapleton. It's part of the company's effort to encourage consumers to go green." Want to move to Stapleton Info Chef?
Another tid bit, the last standing Four Square home by Denver's first licensed architect is on the market for $1.1 million. "Built in 1897 the 5,641 sq. ft. home was designed by Robert Roeschlaub who also created Dora Moore School and Trinity United Methodist Church."
Lastly, "Themed Parks" of the E 470 burbs were mentioned. "Cherry trees in President's Park are a natural tie to George Washington, while a playground and President's Walk of Fame create an interactive environment for kids to learn and play." There is also Geology Park, Prehistoric Park, and Ecological Park with associated themed amenities. Well, here in Denver's less than high life neighborhoods I think we have several themes for our parks. Goose Poop Park with its own obstacle course on the walking paths. Other themes arise too like How do I avoid the drunk who is very interested in what sexual favors I might want to provide Park. Loud Ranchero Music Cruiser park could be a apt theme for my local park.
It's all good though. Can't beat urban living in a cool historic town like Denver.

Very helpful for this non-subscriber. I can see that CC is eyeing parks for young CC to enjoy in the years to come; it doesn't sound like the inner city parks would be on that list.
Experts might argue that Lil'CC is better off at Goose Poop park where they must create their own themes for play. The Beige Children who live in the neighborhoods with themed parks may be so devoid of creative thoughts that readymade play is necessary.
The only type of parks we spend much time in are off leash dog parks. Children are either banned or discouraged from these. Yet there are parents who bring their dog-fearing children for a little aversion therapy.
