No, It's Not All Gold but You Can Pretend

Sorry for the long delay in posting here. Most of my attention has been dedicated to Tramp for reasons that most of you probably already know. Nevertheless, this is my attempt to get reacquainted with the Fax.

For those of you that are not American geography buffs, Denver is the capital of Colorado. Above is the Colorado State Capitol Building that gives our lovely neighborhood its namesake. It resides between Colfax Ave. and 14th Ave and stretches between Lincoln and Grant Streets.

Construction began in 1890 and was opened for use in 1894. According to Wikipedia, the gold dome consists of a real gold plate that was first added in 1908 commemorating the Colorado Gold Rush.

I also hear that our state representatives attempt to pass legislation in the hallowed halls there but nothing of importance really gets accomplished.
