Just took stroll round central downtown Denver looking for
grocery/supermarket/bodega to buy drink & snack, as I balk at hotel-room
mini-bar prices, even when, as in this case, someone else (my publisher) is
paying. No luck. What downtown Denver has lots of is restaurants,
restaurants and restaurants. Am therefore not surprised to learn the the
front-runner in tomorrow’s mayoral election, JohnHickenlooper, is a
restaurateur — his flagship place is just dow the street from my hotel.
Quote from Denver reader: “Hickenlooper is a quintessential outsider and is
definitely putting a scare inthe Pena-Webb-Zavares machine which has been in
control of Denver’s City and County government since 1982. Most Republicans
that I know will be voting for Hickenlooper who is a fiscal conservative and
social liberal.”
