Denver Heights Sign

I'm not sure what this building was, but to the extent that I can read the sign, suitcases and traveling bags are advertised.

The Big Chief Bottling Company, Denver Colorado.

Big Chief was a soda brand that was bottled across the United States including Colorado, where this building housed that enterprise.

Women of Wyoming, Casper Wyoming

The spectacular, but hard to photograph, mural Women of Wyoming in downtown Casper.  It really must be seen, in part because It's hard to photograph it when it's not in shadow.

 

Prairie Woman, Casper Wyoming.

James Reeb Mural, Casper Wyoming

This is the memorial to civil rights activist James Reeb in Casper Wyoming.  I should have taken this photograph when this mural was new, as its faded considerably since first painted, and it isn't even very old.

Given that, I'm taking the unusual step of posting it in full size here as well.

James Reeb was a Presbyterian minister in Casper when first ordained.  He lost is life when murdered by segregationist in Selma, Alabama, where he was attending civil rights demonstrations, in 1965.  The mural depicts scenes from his life, as well as honoring the Civil Rights movement.

Slavic Apothecary, Sheridan Wyoming.

 

Some sort of Slavic apothecary in Sheridan, Wyoming.  As I'm not otherwise familiar with it, and as the green in such shops tends to indicate products I'd just as soon avoid, that's all I know.

It is, I'd note, very unusual in this part of the country to see anything in a Slavic language outside of Rock Springs, which traditionally had an Eastern European population.  Sheridan, on the other hand, has traditionally had a much more English population and is a ranching center.

Historic Sidewalk Maps, Denver Colorado.

The City of Denver has municipal offices right downtown, and in front of their municipal office building, they have a series of maps in the sidewalk, depicting Denver in prior eras.   These are photos of a few of them.
