Thanks for another lovely week, Denver. Here's a taste of our experience through the last seven days.

OK, let's work backwards. Yesterday we went deep into the state's past, circa 1935 and the American Dust Bowl Era. A new tool by Yale University let us scope Colorado photography by the iconic Farm Security Agency during that time.

There's no story for this photo of the parking lot, I just enjoy the pattern:

I also have super enjoyed the food photography coming out of 5280 Magazine, like this scrumptious snap by Aaron Colussi.

This week Brazilian artist Alexandre Orion's mural was vindicated after it was vandalized last month. Orion had to be flown in to complete the four-day restoration.

Erica was present for a very long hearing on a bipartisan effort to bring an infrastructure tax hike to voters this year.

The Denver Post's Helen Richardson caught some sweet tricks on top of the Millennium Bridge.

And Ashley and I learned to make pork green chile from a true master.

Adrian went digging into the city's effort to continue development without causing community displacement...

And last Saturday, as also happened this Saturday, we caught a look at young, ambitious Tay Anderson speaking to crowd protesting the President. Time is a flat circle.
