@Russ - Funny, I have a friend who used to live over in one of the apartment buildings at the end of Boulder. We used to get together as a group and play Acey-Duecy (which we renamed, for some odd reason, 'In-Between'). Early in the mornings we would work ourselves into a frenzy yelling POT-POT-POT (encouraging someone to bet the whole pot). We once had some CC hockey players come down and tell use to keep it quiet. I have worked in the Plaza for 8 years now, and that shot was taken when the Fine Arts Center - Modern, was still there. I miss being able to go down and visit - as I recall, they had a few of the Chihouly (sp?) pieces in there. Re: the RR car shot, one of the buildings to the right, where the homeless hang out, had a spray painted warning at the time: Don't crap back here! Cept, of course, they used the more common profanity.
@Rob - I naturally assumed when I took this shot that a teenager had sprayed the message. Of interest, the Swastika is oriented correctly, even to the tilt used by the Nazis. I have no comment on the sentiment, I just found the contrast interesting. I feel it essentially fails as a photo outside of the Colo Sprgs area, though, as most would not recognize the mountain, or the connection to the poem/song.
Thanks to both for looking and commenting.

Edit: BTW, Russ, you're in for a surprise when you get here. Spring sprang early this year - actually started in late March, and things are blooming all over. Totally weird, compared to the past 25 years I've spent in this town, many times shoveling snow throughout April.
