Downtown of the Week, Part 3

After a one-week hiatus while bumming around Oregon, I'm back with installment three of the multi-part series: Downtown of the Week. This week brings us back to Colorado, this time to Aspen. For all its flaws--to name a couple: over development on the surrounding hills and intense commercialization (of everything)--Aspen has an awesome downtown with extensive pedestrian-only sections. Hooray for them! The dining, art, social, and commercial epicenters are all located downtown within biking and walking distance. Love it. As an added bonus you can practically fall out of bed and be up, stealing a phrase from Mike, "Shreddin' some gnar." The internet is slow tonight for some reason, so just one photo. It has you looking toward city center, in the background you can see a fountain, where brink streets like this zigzag back and forth. A very pretty place.
