Explore and document the place I live

ok, two blog posts so far. will post again this week.

after a very long sabbatical from 43 things, i started taking my handy dandy sony cybershot with me everywhere! taking pics, uploading them onto picassa. And today, tonight, just now, I actually started a blog. I will be blogging about my exploration hopefully frequently!

My 43 Places page is great for documenting different places within the place I live.

• Mile High Comics
• somewhere isolated in the mountains
• Denver Public Library
• the hip new Colfax neighborhood
• Cap. Hill
• Paris on the Platte
• Watercourse Foods (this restaurant was my favorite place ever during my vegan days)
• the Gothic
• Jerusalem cafe

I’ve made it to Abe’s, Stella’s, Sister’s, Wild Ginger, DU campus, the Merc, a Main Street Players local theatre production, and the ol’ IHOP (still give me free coffee) though.

I also have a long list of photographs I still need to take in order to properly capture and document all the nuances of the area, from the street sign for “Jackass Hill,” a trophy for vandals that brings out hot high school nostalgia, to the weird, hip new stores cropping up in the poser-y cool and newly reinvented Downtown Littleton, aka “LiDo.”

Gravestone of Alfred Packer, accused cannibal, from the historic Littleton Cemetery.

I’m putting together a set of photos and some entries about my town. The plan is to put together a slideshow (or perhaps even a “Littletonist” blog—half joke, half not) that captures the essence of this place.
