Blog Entry 54 of 95 Charmaine in the city

I've called the Denver area home for more than two
decades now. But this urban/mountain city is still full of surprises. I'll be posting my adventures here, as I explore local eateries, shops and sharing birthday and vacation photos. And once in a while, I'll throw in a music, movie or food review. I hope to keep this blog interactive, so don't be shy to suggest places I should visit. And check it out: I'm on Brendan's List. Rock on!


HubCap: Ever seen a hearse with wings?
Contributed by: Charmaine Robledo/YourHub.com   on 5/15/2007

Cars to get your (freak) vroom on.
The "Ectomobile" in Ghostbusters was a 1959 Cadillac hearse/ambulance that was given an overhaul to fight supernatural crime. The Hearse-Con 2007 annual convention featured hearses and old-time ambulances that locals revamped to be works of vehicular art. Our own John Zwick gets the low-down on the chrome and coffin during this event held at That Scary Place May 11 to 13. ( link)

Good job, Amy.
Boulder blogger Amy Gahran was recently named an "All Around Commuter of the Year" by GO Boulder. Here's a twist though: Amy works from home. So actually, she doesn't even have to bike, walk or take the bus to the office, probably only has to take two steps to her desk at home. Now that's the ultimate commute. ( link)

And they call it puppy love.
We've had a couple of regular contributors write about the pets they've adopted from shelters: Michael Rule and his dog, Lucky and Barbara Neff and her dogs, Seth and Chet. Now Lakewood resident Katherine Jerome wrote about her dog, Beau, whom she had adopted from an Adams County shelter. The photos of Beau will just make you go, "awww." Trust me. ( link)

Sorry, Mike, but you can still find us online.
We've gone through a few changes around here at YourHub.com, namely, the new zones we've added to our sections, plus some rezoning of old ones. The change has left frequent poster Michael Rule a little disoriented and wondering if there's been an error in distribution. Don't worry, buddy, we're still available on the Web. ( link)
