Scenes from Downtown Glenwood Springs CO

*

I found myself in Glenwood Springs for Thanksgiving Day.
It was slow and peaceful on the streets downtown.
Very few places were open. I decided to take some pictures.
I'm sure that is a surprising turn of events. So out of character...




Silver Club Building on Grand Avenue



Vintage ads on the brick side of the building



The window of Lilly's fits nicely here.

Doc Holliday's Tavern / Saloon




Searching for a website for Doc Holliday's Saloon led to my discovering that Doc Holliday's grave is actually located near Glenwood Springs.



Shadows under the bridge




Juicy Lucy's Steakhouse








Artist's Mercantile and Gallery








Glenwood Adventure Company - Life Doesn't Get Any Better




Looks like a fun place to work




Wall murals with the Fire Department on the left.
