On my way home from the Denver Center for the Performing Arts today (I'll write about why I was there later), I noticed that a Denver landmark is gone. There was a flower store on the corner of Franklin & Colfax Ave. called Fannie's Flowers. It is a brick builidng, painted white with green lettering. It has a unique architectural style. It has character. Now, the building stands empty, the paint peeling. It made me sad. I don't drive down Colfax often, so I hadn't noticed that the flower store had gone out of business. I've lived in the Denver front range area my whole life. It was one of those places that was just always there...and now it isn't.
