Icons of youth

[Irving]

I grew up at Colfax and Youngfield and remember when NONE of the commercial buildings were there. No Colorado Mills mall, no strip mall across the street, no apartments behind Denver West office park, Wide Acres Road went from Colfax to Colfax, no Toyota dealership, no NREL, etc.

I remember Northglenn mall had 2 levels and fountains in the bottom level. I used to love looking at them as a kid.

And they had a Woolworth's and Gart Bros! I bought my unissued Swede 96 from that Woolworth's, back when they had sporting goods. Bought my 3 screw Ruger Blackhawk 357 from the Gart's there, too. Walked in and started bs'ing with the guy behind the counter. Started looking at the Ruger, he said it was a trade in, went and looked at what they had in it, and said he'd take $75. Done! They even had a nice leather Hunter holster in their bargain box that fit it perfectly for $5.

I liked the Grizzlies, and could even afford to go watch them. I didn't really think it was an upgrade when the Avs came in.
