I left the area decades ago but remain nostalgic for the best pizza I have ever had. Our parents took us to a dive in North Denver--on Tejon or thereabouts. It was called The Marigold and also Mary and Sue's. Our favorite waitress was Ruby, who wore mini Coors can earrings. It was also a bar and I remember the jukebox. Mom papered the toilet seats before we sat--something she didn't do elsewhere. The front door was diagonally placed and if I recall you stepped down slightly from the curb as you entered. I hope someone else remembers it!

Dewy the piano player at Andy's. Where did he go after Andy's closed? Best pianist and gentlemen I have ever met. I was only 20 in the early 1970"s but will never forget him.

Remember Victoria Station on Alameda and Leetsdale, a train caboose? And The Library restaurant on south Colorado Blvd.

Victoria Station was a restaurant comprising several boxcars and a caboose, all combined to create a remarkable atmosphere. A friend frequently took me to lunch; I loved the Shrimp Victoria.

Does anyone recall a popular bar/grill in Cherry Creek North in the 1970's? I believe east of Milwaukee - Steele. Not Mel's, Chinook or Rick's Cafe.
