Earlier this year, we shared twelve amazing vintage ads shared by The Denver Eye, a Facebook page that showcases memorable images from the area's colorful history.

But as our Bree Davies pointed out in a post featuring her picks for the five best sites for looking at Denver's past, there are other places online to celebrate the Mile High City.
