Hey, if you move to Englewood, you could afford even more guitar toys.

I actually worked construction on Highlands Ranch, in a much earlier phase of my life. I’ve visited a friend there, many times and know the area quite well. I used to work for IREA, so I have a map of Douglas and Kiowa counties etched into my brain. One thing I like about Highlands Ranch is that it seems somewhat isolated from the crowded nature of metro Denver, or for that matter, the crowded nature of Castle Rock.
Yeah it’s in its own bubble. We were fortunate to get a place for less than Littleton and englewood. Englewood is Turing into a bunch of scrape and builds and tiny houses are worth a lot.
Denver is becoming LA, and it makes me weep. I spent my teen years in Olde Westminster, living in my parents brick home. We could see Pikes Peak and Devil’s Head (west of Sedalia) from our living room window, not to mention Mount Evans and a pretty great view of Mount Vernon Canyon. This was a working class home that sold for less than I currently keep in my savings account.
I used to haunt Melody Music, which was on Acoma St, just north of Hampden, at the time. Kenny Vaughan was one of the regulars and Bill Frisell was one of the teachers. I could travel from roughly 80th and Federal Blvd in Westminster to Melody music in 30 minutes.
