All Aboard to Coloradical!

 Hello, Cowboys/cowgirls!

I would say I'm at Union Station quite often.  I take every advantage of the RTD (commuter rail/train) to avoid paying exorbitant and rare parking any time I visit downtown Denver.  Also, aboard the train, I can read and avoid the really shitty traffic and construction.  For example, in the South, if a lane closure is ahead, the DOT will place signs strategically ahead encouraging a consistent flow of traffic while people work to merge into the correct lanes.  In Denver, you just suddenly, BOOM, with no forewarning find a lane is closed and basically have to bribe hateful minority women who are brainwashed into thinking all white women in Subaru's are too privileged to allow a merge in.  It's a hot mess!  

I borrowed this bad boy off the internet...

But back to Union Station.  Here are a few neat things:

1) There is a train that goes all the way to California and I think they're about to take it out of commission.  So I really really wanna experience this so bad.

Seriously, I need to take some time off to do this...

2) There is an actual hotel inside Union Station!  It's called the Crawford Hotel.  They basically own Union Station and have a quite swanky hotel restaurant and lounge upstairs.  You won't believe the black and white cowboy and cowgirl poet shots I got (don't forget to scroll all the way down)

3) There is an ice cream shop, and a breakfast/brunch restaurant with an amzing patio called "Snooze," a deli, and lots of boutiques, giftshops and even a bookstore.  Plus it's just plain fun to walk around and people watch!

4) When it was completed in 1881, Denver's Union Station stood as the largest structure in the West and included a 128 feet tower!

5) The trains used to run underground.  Now they run the RTD bus line underground.  Last year the Denver PD busted over 35 different rings down there.  I remember walking down there in 2022 to obtain my RTD pass and seeing crackheads full on smoking crack pipes on full display with no shame.

So, next time you're in downtown Denver, don't forget to drop by Union Station for a little exploration!

Now for the main attraction.  As I mentioned, there is a stairwell going to the second floor hotel restaurant and lounge.  As you're walking up the stairs, there are roughly 70 something black and whites of the most stoic cowboy and cowgirl shots.  It's worth the visit to Union Station just to see this exhibit.  As you scroll through the pictures of the black and whites I've posted below from a 1987 Cowboy Poetry Gathering.  As you look at these faces, I ask you: "Do you think any one of these cowboys/cowgirls would appreciate how radical Denver has become?"  Would they be going along wtih:

Critical race theory

"Participation trophies" and entitlement

Feelings outweighing facts/logic

Virtue signaling with face diapers 

Cancel Culture and Censorship

Drag Queens preying/grooming on little kids

Victimhood mentality

Men invading women's sports

Men in women's bathrooms/locker rooms

Vaccine mandates

O, any hypocritical nonsensical liberal logic, for that matter

Here is a shot I got one night me and my boyfriend trained in for the Denver Car Show.

Okay, back to the cowboys...

So, what do you think?  My boyfriend recently told me that when he used to visit Denver as a kid, the airport was filled with cowboys back when oil, gas, and ranchers ran this town.  Now, we've been invaded by the tech industry and Californians!

Til we meet again...yippee ki ya...
