My concern is that in my…read moreneighborhood, Idaho Creek, the letter carrier is unable to consistently deliver the mail and packages to the proper addresses. I lost over $52.00 in medical prescriptions this year due to this. It also make things difficult to get another refill when this happens. I am also delivering mail to the proper home address when I receive mail improperly delivered to me. I never know if things I order are going to be delivered to my box or if they are being delivered to the wrong box. I would appreciate the Post Master resolving the issue. I have heard from other neighbors that the letter carrier has an attitude about his inept work.

I went to see the beautiful, colorful, psychedelic chapel, but had a lot more fun than expected!…read more As expected, the staff is super laid back and helpful. Tickets are 25 bucks. The light show is timed throughout the day and I arrived like 45 minutes early, so I had plenty of time to explore their "downstairs area." Tons of free arcade games. I played Pac-Man and whatever game it is where you shoot aliens. There is also a car racing game. There is an old school basketball game hooked up to an old TV. They have a large projector screen hooked up to a Nintendo switch with Mario and Zelda games. I actually really enjoyed coloring in the many coloring books they had. They have retro, funky furniture, fun decorations, and merch for sale. The light show itself is a fun time! No videography or photography during, but they do a basic show at the end so people can take photos and videos. You can lay on the floor or back in a pew on one of the many fluffy stuffed pillows and watch and meditate. They have great stoner music too (think Pink Floyd). And of course, the chapel itself is beautiful. No partaking in cannabis while in the building. They keep it family friendly (there were toddlers there when I went, but they were well behaved). They have multi-denominational church services a couple times a month where people can use cannabis. There is a lot of nearby street parking, as it's kinda in a residential area, though I took a Lyft. Also a mile or less walk to some of the main food and bar sites on Broadway.

First, it's not quite what you think - nothing is sold and nothing is used there. I wouldn't say it's exactly family friendly for every family but there were little kids there. We started with the meditation/laser show. The room, once the church sanctuary, is painted in the brightest colors imaginable. It's absolute eye candy. You sit (or lay) on church pews that are full of squishy pillows. The lights dim, the meditation starts and the lasers illuminate various parts of the room. Even with the rock music, it really was mellow and relaxing. I don't know if you're permitted to sit through it more than once but I know that I would have liked too. While the laser show and "brightness" may be the main draw, the arcade was the most fun for us. Everything is included, no quarters needed. I played ski-ball until my arm was tired. While my husband played Galaga, I was drawn to the lite-brite. Simple? Yes but I wasn't allowed to have one when I was little and this was an absolute thrill for me. We then went into another room where we played Mario Cart - the game was projected onto an entire wall. There were board games, more arcade games, crayons and markers...everything needed to unleash your inner child - my husband and I spent the entire afternoon doing just that. We're back home now. I'm looking at the clock thinking about what to make for dinner. You know what? Heck with it - I'm going to go color instead...

There's a creek that's secretly a flood project (sneaky), random sculptures, and even a mini playground where kids were going full chaos mode. I saw a guy walking his cat. It's not long, but it's packed with character--like a park with a personality. Would 100% walk it again, preferably with snacks.

I really like how Denver repurposes land into areas for people to enjoy!…read more This is a 1 mile area with one end at Franklin St and the other at Steele St. I actually started at N. Williams St where I parked. I headed toward Steele St and walked to York St. Between N. Williams St & Clayton St. are four sculptures created by Walczak & Heiss. The first one is called "Flood". There was a catastrophic flood in Denver in 1965. 39th Avenue Greenway is collects and directs rainwater during a flood. The second one is called "Zephyr" that is shaped like a train track rounding a corner. It is about the Burlington Zephyr which set a speed record in 1934, running from Chicago to Denver, and it went right through this site. There are two railroad tracks on the greenway. Oh, this Zephyr sculpture is actually a sundial! The third one is called "whereami". It's a 16 ft tall sign with 37 places pointing in different directions with distances on them. This sculpture was made in collaboration with student at the Bruce Randolph School. Then I walked back to my car and drove to near Clayton St to see the fourth sculpture consisting of 2 metal horns named "Conversation". The two megaphones are across from each other and you can talk into them and your voice (even a whisper) will be amplified loud enough to be heard across the way! Afterwards, I drove to Steele St. to see the steel sculpture which spans Steele St. It is called "Eastgate" and looks like a huge ribbon! Reminds me of the old fashioned Christmas Ribbon Candy. Artist DeWitt Godfrey created this piece in 2021. There is a warning sign to climb to safety in case of a flash flood. So yeah, be alert if it has been raining! This is a great space for people to walk, ride bicycles, and also has a play area for children. The playground includes a cement slide and log climbing structures made of wood pieces handcrafted by Nature's Instruments. I've seen other play equipment by this company at another park. Although it's very pricy, it aesthetically blends in! There's also a small area filled with sand in another nearby section. The day I came to check it out (Oct. 5, 2024), there were families, couples, cyclists, and people walking quickly for exercise here. I mainly came to check out the sculptures. It was great to check those out and get a little exercise and some Vitamin D!

The Butterfly Pavilion is always a hit for our family…read more My toddler loves going and staring at all the bugs in the front room. I think we are in there for about 30 minutes. Then we make our way to the tropical butterfly room. Where we spend 10 minutes at most because when we get there. He wants a snack but I know he knows the play area is next. It keeps my toddler busy for hours. And he leaves happy. Surprisingly a fun place for a toddler. I never knew he would be so interested in the bugs but he loves it. And asks to go back fairly often. I recommend it for sure. Especially for young children. You can end your time in the play area. They do close for about 15 minutes each day for a deep clean. I forget the time. Overall, a great place to go.

I used my iPhone and the tips I learned were such a game changer! Atmosphere & Service: Early birds get the best shots! Since it starts at 8:30 AM, it was a small, quiet group of three. The instructor is one of the official Pavilion photographers his knowledge of bugs and cameras is next level. Pro-Tip: If you aren't a morning person, grab a coffee on the way! You'll want that caffeine kick to stay sharp for the classroom portion. The Experience: The first hour is a classroom deep dive into tips. Everything from high end Canons to iPhone hacks. Then, you head into the Pavilion to put it all into practice! Bonus: They have a dedicated Photo Hour so you can keep shooting after class ends. Price: $15 Parking: Free and easy. Overall: A 10/10 budget-friendly experience for hobbyists or beginner photographers. It's fun and educational.

This beautifully restored, landmark fire station in downtown Longmont has been run by the…read morenonprofit, The Arts Studio, since 1987 with a major renovation to the building in 1999. Programs include twelve art exhibits annually plus two resident artist studios, a ceramics studio, and a classroom. Admission to the galleries is always free and The Arts Studio provides extensive outreach to the community plus a regular program of classes for children and adults. Exhibitions mix solo and group shows including local, regional, and national artists. I've been visiting the Center for many years. I've found the exhibits to be of mixed quality, but that's inevitable given the mission of the organization. Today's visit involved some sort of used clothing sale which was a little confusing and made it difficult to see the current art exhibit. The Art Center is a great community resource and a terrific asset to Longmont.

It is fun to see big productions like Cats or Phantom of the Opera on Broadway or in larger venues, but it is more engaging to sit 15-20 feet from the stage and feel as if you are part of the action. We tried the Curious Theatre for the first time this fall, and loved their production of "The Minutes" (always enjoy Tracy Letts). We returned for the wonderful production of "Letters to Suresh" as well a month later. The theater uses an old church so every seat is great, street parking is easy, and there are fun food options within a block - we enjoyed Zeps Epic Sandwiches and Torchys Tacos, coffee at Cherry Bean Coffee, and will try Eiskaffee on our next visit. Definitely worth a visit!
