Continuing 521 miles east (or 975 regulation hockey sticks) from Salt Lake City our favourite beat combo head to Denver today.
Originally known as Deutschendorf Jr., the Mile High City is so called as it has the second largest concentration of airplane toilets in the world where locals &, indeed, visitors can get jiggy with their partners in a very cramped space.
Situated in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, Deutschendorf Jr. felt its name wasn’t in keeping with other cities in Colorado & so the local administration’s department for place names pulled an all nighter in search of a new, more famous sounding name. Then, in the small hours of the morning, it came to them. Pop/ country/ folk legend John had penned a song about one of the many airplanes and his name sounded sort of cool. Denver was re-born & google maps updated that afternoon.
In celebration, Louis Ballast was assigned to devise a signature dish &, in 1935, from his Humpty Dumpty drive in, filed a patent for the now world famous cheeseburger. The original spot is now marked with a large block of concrete.
Soon inventions were coming thick & fast from the city, however, not all of them were as popular as an all beef patty dripping with molten cheese, topped with onions & a dollop of ketchup & even, in some eateries, a slice of pickle for you to immediately remove & discard.
Step forward Frank Marugg, a violinist for the local band. His shady mates in the police asked him to devise a way for them to make a ton of money from illegally parked cars & in 1955 the Denver Boot raked in $18,000 ($200,000 in dog years) during its first month of use. This led to a deep seated hatred of violinists who needed 24 hour police protection from angry motorists in the city.
Lastly, there’s one thing Denveronians (as the locals are known) won’t brag about inventing & that comes as no surprise at all. Yes, the world’s most heinous crime against footwear, Crocs originate from Denver & they still haven’t apologised. Rest in peace dignity; rest in peace.
Wearing wholly different foot coverings this evening fans of The Cure will be heading to the nearest diner where they’ll probably swerve the Rocky Mountain Oysters & go straight for bison steak paired with some Pretzel Assassins (you can tell they legalised pot there can’t you?) before heading off to have a splendid show.
It seems we’re drifting into red, white & blue territory now so buckle up.
