Best Place to Watch Brown Palace Guests in Their Skivvies

The Trinity Building

Although employees of Burks Communications, a PR firm on the fourth floor of the Trinity Building, would just as soon the Brown Palace across the street tint its windows, they've had some fun over the years watching naked patrons of the chichi hotel get in and out of their unmentionables. "Butts at the Brown," says company president and CEO Susan Burks. "That's what I call it. We have the best view of butts. I think the men enjoy doing it the most. They keep those blinds open. I know they see us looking -- they can't miss us. But some of those men's bodies, I tell you..." Burks even calls her co-workers into the office for especially noteworthy rears. "I say, 'Come look, here's another one.'" Does she wish the Brown's male patrons would close their blinds? "In some cases," she says. "Not all."

Best Fundraising Gimmick

2001 Denver Metro Firefighter Calendar

Whew! Our temperature started rising the second we caught a glimpse of the 2001 Denver Metro Firefighter Calendar, a fundraising deal for the Children's Hospital Burn Center. And since it was such a good cause, we felt it was our duty to buy a couple of calendars to share with friends so we could all appreciate the sacrifices that local firefighters had made for charity. Why, some even gave the photographer the shirts off their backs! Although Denver's fire chief may have quibbled that it wasn't proper for the buff firefighters to pose so provocatively, these hotties sure got us going. Burn, baby, burn!

Best Rest Stops -- Rural

No Name/Grizzly Creek/Bair Ranch

Kids getting a little cranky on that long car ride? Stop by one of the three rest areas along the Colorado River just east of Glenwood Springs, and let them watch the rafters rushing by. If they're really antsy, tell them to walk along the river to the next rest stop, where you'll pick them up. Maybe.

Best Travelin' Man

Senator Wayne Allard

It's not easy staying in touch with your state when it includes 63 (64, once Broomfield's up and running) counties that stretch over thousands of square miles. But Wayne Allard, the Republican veterinarian who's soon to complete his first term in the Senate, knows that it's important to make house calls. Every year since his 1996 election, he's made it a point to visit every county in Colorado to meet with his constituents. You could say he's driven.

Best Appearance by Coloradans in an Inaugural Parade

Precision Lawn Chair Demonstration Team

When President Bill Clinton was inaugurated in 1993, Vail's Precision Lawn Chair Demonstration Team only got to perform at a warm-up event -- and Clinton was a party boy. But at George W. Bush's inauguration, the sixteen-year-old Vail troupe was front and center in the actual parade, sporting shorts in the frigid D.C. weather, twirling lawn chairs like batons and rating raves from the crowd. These boys don't take a back seat to anyone.
