Denver Urban Homesteading covered in regional magazine

most of us don't keep up with Ag Journal, a La Junta, Colorado-based periodical covering midwest agricultural issues, but Ag Journal is keeping up with Baker; it has just published a detailed article on Baker's own farmer's market, Denver Urban Homesteading: "Urban homesteading brings farm to city"

motion and stillness

a fire truck idles on Kalamath and a Union Pacific engine idles on a siding while light rail and snow flakes zip along swiftly; taken from the Bolt Factory

Mt. Meeker from Bolt Factory

I think this is meeker. It's pretty, whatever it is.

Sunrise over Rio Grande from Bolt FActory

The sunrise was pretty amazing this morning, like a wall of fire in the sky to the west.

Baker's biggest park: Dailey or Milstein?

most people think Dailey Park is the biggest park in Baker, but another park, Phil Milstein Park, is tucked into the extreme northwestern corner of Baker's boundaries; it's a long, skinny park tucked against the South Platte River; if you reach it by normal means (the Platte River Trail), you actually have to leave Baker to get to it

but how big is Milstein? how big is Dailey?

View of Robinson Dairy from

From the edge of Phil Milstein park you can see across the 6th Ave bridge over the South Platte to the Robinson Dairy processing plant. It's quite an interesting mid-century futuristic design.

Location: 

looking west across Santa Fe Drive traffic from within the Denver Urban Homesteading building; in view are two of Baker's iconic industrial structures, the Rio Grande Company silos, and the quizzical Bolt Factory tower

Denver Urban Homesteading's building had been empty for a a few years, and before that had housed The Grand Entrance, a door factory and showroom that is now located at Bayaud & Kalamath)
