They definitely have the best sopapillas I've ever tasted - they just don't make them like that back east. Thanks Fussy!!

I loved going to downtown Littleton (and I agree with you about A Knitted Peace) and just walking around, looking at the buildings. Thanks for the memories!

Makes me want to drive 600 miles back to Goshen, Indiana and see how things have changed... ok, maybe nothing that drastic. Love reading your memory lane experience.

I'm also a fan of the picture stories, of course, so that probably makes these posts even better.<br /><br />If you happen to see my friend Josie, who lives in Littleton, be sure to say hi. ;-) I love so much of your writing, but I think my favorite posts are the ones like this one, where you release little moments from your past into the wild.

No joke. What I'm remembering most about Littleton at this moment is the unbelievable number of strip clubs/porn shops between it and Denver. My husband and I used to call it porn row. But the rest of Littleton is quite, quite lovely! I used to live off of the lovely Prince Street on the less lovely Prince Court – in an apartment next to a peacock farm. No joke.

You made me laugh when we were suffering the indignities of Columbine together! I remember cruising around in your parents' two-seater Mercedes, hitting Larimer Square, Pete's Kitchen, Rocky Horror at the Ogeden and getting lost in 5 Points...and going to a party your brother had at your house. I danced to the B-52's in your living room...clearly under the influence of something! Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane (and Prince Street). I, too, like the Knitted Peace and the spice shop. In French class you told me you were going to be a writer...love that you were right! Made me laugh, like you always do/did! <br />Kim C. Oh Eden, Dear Eden!

Yes, I drive that far for my dentist.
