8 Ways to be Green

1. Use Reusable Shopping Bags Switch from paper and plastic and bring your own bags. This one change will have the most immediate and dramatic impact on the environment.

Gaylord Street Festival

Our favorite thing to do with our boys on Memorial Day weekend is walk over to the Gaylord Street Festival and celebrate the beginning of summer. We used to watch the kids bounce in the blow-up castle. Now, they're too big for that and prefer the climbing wall.

Washington Park Home Tour 2008

If you don't have anything to do tomorrow, and you like the idea of touring homes in one of Denver's primo neighborhoods, then look no further than the Washington Park Home Tour. You can drop in at any one of the featured homes, or begin at Steele Elementary. The neighborhood is eclectic - with many scrapes, "pop-tops," Victorians and post-war bungalows.
