Line of Fire
“The neighborhood was a thriving part of downtown with some of the city’s best food and most interesting shopping.
Diane’s estimate of our trip had been four blocks. I was tempted to point out that had we driven only that distance from our office we would have been less than halfway to the flat. I didn’t.
The building that was our destination had been an unremarkable two-story, Depression-era, commercial brick rectangle in a downtown Boulder location that had gentrified in many interesti...ng ways, including a good selection of urban housing. Diane pulled into a reserved parking space from the alley behind the building. I had already made a decision to keep any less-than-exuberant first impressions to myself. Were I to proffer discouraging words I would need to be willing to absorb the consequences. I was tired. I wasn’t willing.
