Downtown Denver (No. 3)

The three story office and commercial building featuring what was then the theatre's secondary entrance on Glenarm Place, now the main entrance, was designed by the local architect Temple H. Buell. Buell's design is a modernized, art deco interpretation of the Gothic style, executed largely in cast concrete and white terra cotta.

For several decades the Paramount enjoyed success as one of the premier movie houses in the Rocky Mountain region. Then, like other large movie theatres, its patronage declined as population and commerce dispersed into new suburban areas. By 1978, it was the last movie palace left in Denver, and started hosting opera with a production of Madama Butterfly in October 1978 by the Denver Opera Company. The venue has survived and evolved, and now plays host to numerous concert and performance acts. The theatre was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and the city of Denver recognized it as a historic landmark in 1988. Eight years later, Sinbad performed his HBO comedy special "Son of a Preacher Man" here.

In 2002 the Paramount and the building next door was purchased by what is now Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.

From a Holt traction engine to a Claas Xerion Tractor!

These last few weeks, I have been able to experience a ride or two that have been eye opening, educational, and just plain fun. My journey began at the Half Century of Progress 2023 in Rantoul, Illinois. This, the largest vintage farm show in the US happens every two years. Then right on the heels of the Half Century is the Farm Progress show, in Decatur, Illinois. While the Half Century…

On this day in 1942, the Tuskegee Airmen became the first African American flying unit in the U.S. military and fought in World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen epitomized courage and heroism.

The first unit, the 99th Pursuit Squadron, was activated at Chanute Field in Rantoul, Illinois on March 19, 1941, nine months before the United States officially entered World War II.

—Over the past seven decades the exploits of the Tuskegee Airmen have been celebrated, occasionally mythologized, and used as a recent reminder of the patriotism and heroism of African Americans in times of national crisis. Mounting pressure by black leaders such as union activist A Philip Randolph, NAACP chief executive Walter F. White, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and the black press to increase their presence in all branches of military service eventually persuaded a reluctant War Department to allow for the training of blacks as fighter pilots (initially no training for bomber crews) at an isolated field at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, thus preempting contact with white trainees. The legal authority to form a black combat flying unit sprang from Public Law 18, enacted in 1939, which directed the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to allow for the establishment of training programs for “Negro pilots” at designated locations, most notably Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) and a revised Selective Service Act in 1940 that effectively ended discrimination in the recruiting of men for the armed forces. Despite the strictures of brutal and demeaning segregation in the nation’s military and the actions of a few of its white commanders to retard their efforts, 992 African American flight cadets completed the Army Air Corps course between July 19, 1941 and the end of World War II including many who had originally been assigned to the old Buffalo Soldier units, the 9th and 10th cavalries and the 24th and 25th infantries. Also, because they were a segregated unit, supporting personnel who were black–bombardiers, navigators, mechanics, and instructors—also had to be trained and they too are considered Tuskegee Airmen who kept the pilots aloft. Graduation of the first five pilots who received their wings took place on March 7, 1942, at the Tuskegee Army Air Field. Roughly 450 men joined the 99th Pursuit Squadron, initially led by whites but later ably commanded by then Capt. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. who also took charge of the all-black 477th Bombardment Group in 1945. The 99th and the 332nd Fighter Group saw action in North Africa and Italy where they distinguished themselves winning hundreds of decorations for skill and gallantry in combat. Flying P-39 Airacobras, Curtiss P-40 Warhawks, P-47 Thunderbolts and, lastly, P-51 Mustangs, among the feats of the fighter pilots who flew more than 15,000 sorties was the downing of more than 100 enemy aircraft in aerial combat including three of Germanys fearsome ME-262, the world’s first operational fighter jet; demolishing nearly 150 enemy planes on the ground; and ruining an Italian destroyer that had been converted to a German torpedo boat. The Tuskegee Airmen were prized and respected in the Army Air Force for their success in closely protecting Allied bombers flying missions into Axis territories. Moreover, their outstanding performance served to bolster African American pride and facilitated the transition to an integrated military in the post-war years. Among the Tuskegee Airmen emerged a number of future leaders including Air Force four-star generals Benjamin O. Davis Jr. and Daniel “Chappie” James, Maj. Gen. Lucius Theus, Detroit Mayor Coleman Young, New York Borough President Percy Sutton, pioneering San Francisco physician Wendell Lipscomb, and sociologist Dr. Dempsey W. Morgan.

The 8 days of Christmas

My plan for Christmas this year was to slowly increase the amount of the holiday I had to deal with.

This, of course, was blown up by the housepest I'm stuck with.

That slow increase was orginally planned because I knew I was likely to be invited to more holiday events then ever as part of the volunteer work I've been doing this year.

Which turned out to be very true.

So rather then posting each event separately I thought I'd just wrap them up as one big present 🎁. So to speak.

Day one: Jingle Cruise

The events started with a special ride on the Jingle Cruise at the Magic Kingdom set up exclusively for the Training and Development Department.

Day Two: WIN Scavenger Hunt

This was a Women's Inclusion Network event at Disney Springs. We broke off into groups and completed a scavenger hunt throughout Disney Springs finding different themed Christmas 🎄 Trees and sending in photos. A great chance to meet other women from around the company and enjoy the evening!

It was also a chance to debut a new holiday dress I got for the season.

Day Three: Come Out With Pride

This was a nice buffet dinner and craft event that unfortunately was sparsely attended. There was, maybe, 25 people at the event?

Still it was fun, and hopefully it will return next year.

I nearly forgot to grab a photo but remembered just before I left. Not visable in the picture was my red skirt to make this a festive combo.

Day Four: The Center

Up next was the holiday dinner for volunteers at The Center Orlando.

Again, the turnout wasn't what I expected. Seems like a lot of the over 100 volunteers passed on this one. The attendance was about 40-50.

I, once more, debuted a new holiday dress for this event. A solid silver dress I thought would look better then it did. In retrospect, it definitely revealed just how bad my weight gain has been lately. Need to do something about that soon.

I also got recognized from my Finding Adventure show.

Day Five: Snowball Express morning

This was a volunteer shift through work welcoming the family of fallen first responders as part of the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Snowball Express.

Over 1000 volunteers welcomed the families to the Magic Kingdom with a parade down Main Street.

Day Six: The Nutcracker

Might be might favorite event this year.

I did a volunteer shift as an Usher for a matinee performance of The Nutcracker by the Central Florida Ballet Company.

Thousands of kids got to see a condensed version of the show. Which was a perfect introduction into ballet for them, and for me!

The dancers did a great job and the hour and fifteen minute run time was perfect.

This was the first time I've seen The Nutcracker as well as my first time at a ballet. I was surprised how enjoyable it was.

Even Rantoul an old friend of mine from my Tony's Town Square Restaurant days who had 2 of his children performing in the show!

Day Seven: Equality Florida

The dinner for volunteers from Equality Florida was up next and was an interesting evening. Once again the attendance was smaller then expected but it was a lively bunch.

They did make a nice speech thanking us all and sharing the amazing numbers of people fighting the horrible things happening to our communities here in Florida.

I did snap a quick photo in the restaurant, but turned out terribly, but I promise I was there, lol.

Day Eight: The Best Christmas Pagent Ever

This was a stage production at the Osceola Arts theater where I did a volunteer shift. I had not had an opportunity to do a shift here in months as my work schedule had not allowed it. I was nice to be back.

Now that these events are finished I can relax a little and maybe do one last road trip of the year....
