FacebookSo I was playing around on Google Maps and checking out the area that used to be the old Stapleton Airport. Since the opening of the famed Denver International Airport the old airport has since been leveled and has been renames the ever so original Stapleton. Anyway It is obvious that Google hasn’t updated their images for this area. You can see the Airport has been wiped out and redevelopment has begun. The cool thing is that most of the runway is still visible. Now for someone who has only been in the Denver area for a little over 3 years, It is hard to visualize this area with an Airport. So looking at these images are pretty interesting. The only remnants are one of the air control Towers, a parking ramp, some totally out of place 70′s era hotels and the United Airlines training facility.

Yes a wretched smell resembling roadkill, thawed garbage and vomit. Our original surmise to this odor had to do with the thawing of countless feet of snow we recieved the past month which was also thawing all the garabage and various crap that lay hidden underneath. It was extremely bad yesterday evening as I was leaving work. I actually had to cover my face I couldnt tolerate it. Of course it’s Pollution! When I did get home i realized that teh temperature had also dropped 10 degrees. Hmm maybe it isnt the thaw but something more weather system related. Sure enough: Pollution and Inversion!
