Autumn Walk on 16th Avenue No. 1 - Capitol Center

Standing at Sherman Street and looking down East 16th Avenue toward Grant Street, one may see the Capitol Center on the left and the HCPF building on the right. You may not think there's a strong naval presence in Denver, but I see more Navy whites at Capitol Center than I ever saw when I worked in downtown Seattle! It seems to be a military beehive.

Autumn Walk on 16th Avenue No. 2 - Curious Coffee

A Saturday morning view of Curious Coffee at Capitol Center, on the corner of 16th and Grant Street. During the work week there's usually a line of sleepy folks waiting for their daily cuppa joe -- employees from the Naval recruiting office upstairs and from "Hic Puff" (the state Health Care Policy and Finance department) across the street. Capitol Center is definitely part of the government campus surrounding the state capitol building, which is only a few blocks away.

Autumn Walk on 16th Avenue No. 3

Morning sunlight illuminates the trees outside Curious Coffee, at 16th and Grant Street. Saint Paul's Lutheran Church may be seen on the opposite corner.
