While our project's first phase involves neighbors attending story events in which they participate as storytellers and listeners, the second phase will see these stories transformed by Denver's theatre community - an evening of new work about Denver, its citizens and their lives here.

This is the wonderful work of Chad Bratten, Regis University's graphic designer. Our first real event - we've done storytelling events and theatre events, but this is the Five Two Eight O pilot- will be at the Byers Evans house in February.

Beyond this little row of homes, you can see what Denverites call the Cash Register Building, our signature skyscraper. If we were taller, you could also see the front rage of the Rockies, only a few miles in the distance.

Janna's neighborhood: Uptown/City Park, Denver. Turn-of-the-century townhomes, restaurants, pubs, hospitals, coffee shops. Two blocks from East Colfax Avenue, one of Denver's longest and most colorful corridors. Stories from Colfax Avenue? Probably a great idea, even though Colfax isn't exactly a neighborhood, but more of a legend in its own time. Anyway, my Aunt Mabel, now 100 years old, used to live a couple of blocks from where Daniel and I stand in this photo. You can see her standing in front of her Gilpin Street house in the 1930's, on my website: http://web.mac.com/jannalgoodwin
