Blog Entry 24 of 32 The Cole Chronicles
This is a blog about all things Cole...the Cole neighborhood, that is, in NE Denver, bound my MLK (south), 40th St. (north), York (east) and Downing (west). It's a little corner of the world that I've called home for ten years now. I've seen it change in unimaginable ways, especially after 5280 named it tomorrow's hottest neighborhood. This blog is about chronicling the ongoing revitalization of one of Denver's oldest neighborhoods. It's a wonderful, diverse area, full of characters and stories. It's Royal Drug and a Carnegie Library and striking architecture accented with hidden pocket parks, panaderias and the stately Wyatt Elementary, which happens to be my favorite building in all of Denver. People hang on their front porches in this 'hood; neighbors help one another. What it's not: white, suburban or gang-free. It's not always pretty. Sometimes the smell from the nearby Purina plant gets local dogs howling. Sometimes there are gunshots. This area still carries a stigma that's hard to erase. Regardless, this is my home, and watching it change and push back and find its way in this vibrant, fast growing city is worth noting. And so I do.

Yowza. There's so many amazing things happening in Cole, especially in the area of urban farming, permaculture techniques, business development andcommunity gardens,but alas, I am unable to craft a full blog entry right now. Dastardly medical problems have knocked me for a spin (literally) and I need to concentrate on getting better. Luckily, said problems coincided with a planned vacation, so we're heading north to Montana tomorrow, and I trust that the rest and relaxation will calm my bellowing eighth cranial nerve.

I'll be back the first week of June.

Til then, enjoy the beginning of summer and the sunny days...and most of all...love your neighborhood.
