walk to the park


i decided to take a stroll from the marina to AT&T park to watch the giants play the dodgers.  it was a 4 mile walk, which isn't bad at all on a nice san francisco day (although my fancy sandals may have been a bad choice in footwear).  walking along the embarcadero i was amazed to see how much space was left unused on the piers.  although, i have no idea what the city has planned or what absurd zoning regulations may exist for such a space.  i did appreciate the extensive public art, which frankly is around much of the city.  always a supporter of the arts, public pieces are mutually beneficial to both the artist and the greater population, making a space that much more aesthetically pleasing.

exploring LoHi


before heading to the airport, i decided to explore the LoHi neighborhood in denver.  previously i had enjoyed drinks at linger and a delicious dinner at root down (both which i highly recommend).  but i hadn't seen the area during the day.  for those familiar with san diego, it felt a bit like the east village.  a boom in redevelopment brought in fresh establishments and renovation.  an artistic vibe is evident through galleries and graffiti (i have a soft spot for graffiti).  and with the addition of the pedestrian bridge, getting to downtown is very easy by foot or bike.
