A different view of town

On a quiet Friday afternoon, the Aspen Square sits empty with quiet stores some of these stores are completely empty and some are just closed due to the pandemic.

A quiet yet open Butcher’s Block next to a busy city market. sits quiet waiting for customers to come in. Stores next to and above the Butcher’s Block are still closed to do the pandemic.

A still open bamboo bear and a deserted domino’s pizza on the corner of 82 and Cooper on Friday afternoon.

The new building was where Boogies used to sit. Boogies was a recognizable landmark in our town and was shut down last fall and now the new building has been empty since Christmas.

The iconic clock tower at Wagner Park stands tall at 6:35 close to dusk on Saturday after playing some Frisbee with my dad to get some exercise.

A quiet and empty mountain chalet with a quiet aspen mountain in the background on Thursday! I added the goal post because it looked cool in my mind.


The Elks Building on a quiet south galena street while the wind slowly kicked up last Tuesday.

The somewhat new art museum kind lit up near the middle of the building with a car passing by!
