Today’s Events (Not Much!)
Not surprisingly, there isn’t a lot going on this weekend as the restaurants all remain closed except for carryout, so here’s a little flashback to last year’s Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. The Lookout Mountain Nature Center was offering a Spring Storytelling and Walk. Bob’s Atomic Burgers was doing a fund-raiser to support the Golden Backpack Program. Dirty Dog’s Roadhouse was having a Summer Kick-Off Party and Music Festival. The Buffalo Rose and Wrigley’s both had live music scheduled. And finally, there was a pick-up soccer game scheduled for Southridge Park (map).
Golden History Moment
This is a short, fun history reference for a holiday weekend. There was a show called Route 66 that ran from 1960-1964. They shot part of one show, which aired in 1963, in downtown Golden. The Golden part only runs for about 2 minutes, but you catch glimpses of Hested’s, Foss Drug, Dud’s Cafe, Eaker’s Department Store, Lloyd’s School and Office Supplies, Meyer Hardware, Parfet Park, the Stewart Block, and the Welcome Arch. After leaving Golden, they have lunch at El Rancho, then drive around early-60’s Denver.
