Not sure where we'd walk around in downtown L.A., Pershing Square maybe? I'd rather eat at the Cheesecake Factory than get chased by a rat the size of a poodle. And knocking our baseball field? Hey, Chavez RAVINE is such a great place, I still have heartburn from the famous "Dodger Dog" I ate there in 1985. And someone from L.A. bitching about the traffic in Denver? Get the tint on your town car windows reduced and look around next time you're trying to get to a beach in the summer.

Worth the time.<br /><br />I used to live in Denver, and the worst city thunderstorms I've ever experienced were there and in nearby Boulder. You could see the dark fronts blowing over the Rocky Mountains, and then they'd dump thick cold rain and hail across the region.

We share a great-great grandfather, William Haney Hickenlooper, who up to the moment of his death in 1888 was the oldest living Mormon Bishop, a close personal friend of Brigham Young, and personally seduced, I mean converted into Mormonism by rascally old Joe Smith himself, who died owing Great-great-grandpappy about $200.<br /><br />However, it is doubtlful we share a great-great-grandmother, as Old Bishop Bill Hickenlooper was a polygamist with three wives. My Great-great-granny was wife #2 of 3.<br /><br />So naturally, the Mayor and I are very close, except for our never having met.D.
