Who was that hockey team we had before the Avalanche? Weren't they called the Grizzlies or something?

The Grizzlies were an IHL team. the NHL team were The Rockies That were the K.C. Scouts prior to 1974 if I remember right. Then they became the N.J. Devils, whom the AV's defeated for the cup in '01. The Colorado Flames were here a couple of years before the Grizzlies, as the top farm team of the Calgery Flames. And, If you go Waaay back, there was the Denver Spurs. And with the exception of the Flames, I have been to at least one game for each of them.

I even still have a Rockies Hockey cap.

There was a really good, old time hardware store on Broadway I'd go to sometimes, too. Don't remember the name.

A&A Trading post. Still there.

Goddard Jr High here..

Went to Goddard for 7th grade. After my transfer to Grant got approved, (4 blocks from home, as opposed to 4/5 miles.) Took me skateboard and gave Berry hill a try.

Not sure how fast I was going, or even how I managed to miss the "automatic braking system", (Rocks and pebbles.) Did manage to leave a 50 yard trail of fiberglass as I stopped near the bottom of the hill though..

A&A Trading post. Still there.

It's an Ace Hardware now. It's not half as good as it used to be. Still good people though.

Didn't we also used to have the Jolly Rancher factory here?

yep, about 50th and ward road
You could always seem what flavor they were making that day for a long way around.
now it's a pile of rubble.
I don't buy jolly ranchers anymore, ever.

I have a Rockies (the real rockies, not the pretend baseball team) JERSEY!!!!
now how cool is that? I used to go to those games all the time. (my friend's dad had season tickets, it's not like it was ever sold out)

Forney's museum as someone mentioned. Damn that place was cool. You could climb around on everything and really see it. remember the big boy locomotive (4-8-8-4) that was out in the yard?

I'm still missing the old Mile High Shooting Park that was on Highway 7. It was about 10 minutes from my house. Damn !!
