'The book is, in a lot of ways, an homage to old Denver as it dies, the Denver that I knew,” says Erika Wurth. But one reader wonders what old Denver is, anyway?
What is old Denver? I moved there a year ago and just for a year. in my first month, I would ask what’s Denver like. An the only response I would get was “nothing like old Denver."I grew up in Denver in the '50s and graduated West High School in '62. Good times, cruising 16th street on Friday and Saturday nights and then meeting up at the Scotchman over on 49th and Federal, Sam's up on top of Lookout Mountain after I turned eighteen.
Generations of my family grew up here in Denver, and it's really sad to walk the city with my mom and watch her point out places that were so important to her and they no longer exist. It even breaks my heart to have moved back only ten years ago and see how much it's gone downhill since then. Denver used to have this amazing"mom-and-pop" feel, like you couldn't find this atmosphere anywhere else.
