The weather was a bit warm, in the low 90's as I rode into the downtown area, found a spot in an underground garage, and put away my riding gear. It was much cooler without the riding gear but still, it was slight sweaty work walking around taking pictures.

The view is now quite blocked by the hotel passageway.
Not a then and now, just a shot of the TIAA-CREF building
where I parked Valencia.
View of the Republic Plaza Building,
this was where I had my interview.
The interview went OK, I don't think I did too badly anyways. Regardless of the outcome, at least I got a chance to get the above pictures. Due to traffic and crowds, I don't tend to ride into the downtown area a lot you see. It had been a hot ride into the downtown area during lunch, it was a relatively cool 84°F during the ride home, the sun being blocked by heavy overcast skies helped a lot.

Cool!
My knowledge of American History is a little lacking. I had no idea that Denver was such a major city even in the 1800's. Thought it was like Phoenix: a cow town until a few decades ago when it suddenly wasn't. Clearly, I was wrong. :)
"it was a relatively cool 84°F..."
After the recent heat wave that seems to be all across the country, I guess that would be cool. Nice then and now pictures of Denver. Good luck on the job search. Maybe time to tell the boys to start working to support your riding habit....

Lucky
Denver was the focal point for the West while the Gold Rushes developed...railroads made it that way...today its telecom links....thanks for reading this stuff.
RichardM, it was a bit over 95F on the way in to the downtown....hot.
I keep my fingers crossed that you score the job.
Thanks for the then and now pics. It's mighty interesting.
