Don’t let them take away the city’s charm

It was a great tour so many museums, hotels, and Churches I saw in Denver. Heather (I hope I got her name correct) was a delight. I usually get overwhelmed in groups and loud noises, but this was a great experience for me. I enjoyed the artifacts about Denver. I didn’t know that firetrucks were white (they are normally red where I’m from) So many artifacts of about the titanic surviver Molly (Margret) Brown settling here in Denver. How she hung out at the Brown palace hotel and by a church where our tour began. Though the Hotel is not named after her. This place has a lot of historical charm to it, and it breaks my heart in most places I’ve been to (even my home state) that people are tearing it down and putting modern buildings of boring shaped boxes. I like how Denver is trying to keep most of its historical charm to the city. Thank you for letting me be part of your tour and putting up with my yapping.
