Three Historic Denver Neighborhoods

Future Ancestors, Crossing Timelines
with three historic North Denver Neighborhoods: 

Join the Globeville–Elyria–Swansea Coalition (GESC) for a one-night journey through time – an immersive experience that reveals how these three neighborhoods were made: shaped by historic disinvestment, redlining, labor struggles, industrial zoning, and highway expansion, and transformed by neighbors organizing for racial, environmental, and economic justice for more than a century. 

Then we step forward across timelines into a thriving, community-owned
future, where neighbors have built a neighborhood model rooted in collective governance, healthy housing, land stewardship, and community-led investment.
This is their story, a celebration, and a public invitation:
become excellent ancestors to the next generation of GES.
Hosted by the Forney Museum of Transportation
at 4303 Brighton Blvd, Denver, CO 80216
Friday March 6, 4-7 pm
Doors: 4pm
Time Warp: 5pm

Last chance to indulge before Lent

Pączki  (pronounced "poonch-key) are tasty Polish donuts with a rich history. Originating in Poland, they were made to be enjoyed from Fat Thursday (the Thursday before Lent begins) to Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) - a final opportunity to indulge before 40 days of fasting begin.

Pączki are fried donuts usually filled with marmalade, jelly, or vanilla pudding and sprinkled with powdered sugar. If you have a Polish grandmother to show you how to make these treats, you are truly blessed.

But you can purchase genuine Pączki made by the scout troop at St. Joseph's Polish Church at 525 East 46th Avenue in Globeville, Sunday February 15th, beginning at 11:00 am, in the school cafeteria. Your fasting will be more meaningful when you remember what you're missing and you'll be supporting the scouts and the church!
