How Do I Choose Golden Eye Candy?
I love seeing the photos that people send me. I don’t usually post wildlife photos, because the best ones are usually close-ups, and my one rule is that the location has to be recognizably Golden; that’s why you see so many photos of Castle Rock. This stretch of Ford Street isn’t particularly eye candy-ish, but it was exciting to see a full-grown moose strolling through town. (Thanks, Terri!)

Introduction by Dr. Jeffrey T Lalama – Regis University
You may have heard about the benefits of brown noise recently in the news. That low, pleasant rumble has been associated with myriad health benefits, but what is the actual evidence? This talk will focus on the studies that show that noise hues might provide benefit for people, specifically looking at sleep benefits and increased focus for people with ADHD.

GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
I’m sure you’ve noticed the lovely brick building at 805 13th Street. You may be surprised to learn that this isn’t its original location.
It was constructed in 1911 at the corner of 13th and Washington. The photo above, taken on November 18th, 1918, shows the building at its original spot at the corner.
In 1923, the building was moved west, to make way for a gas station at the corner of 13th and Washington.
Thanks to Preston Driggers for the research that uncovered these dates!
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
