Redux: Denver: Podunk or Posh?

Sorry, no audio. Try the permalink.

As delegates and reporters flock to Denver for the Democratic National Convention, they may think twice about packing their cowboy boots. Denver has undergone a bit of a makeover since it last hosted a convention in 1908. It's fancy downtown is chock full of art galleries and coffee shops. And haven't you heard? Cattle are only driven through city streets once a year now.

While this piece about Denver's image feels a bit long, you have to give the reporter credit for saying Mayor Hickenlooper's name with a straight face. Check out these cowboy shirts he commissioned for every Democratic member of Congress. Yehaw!
