Happy Palindrome Week!
Put this on your "radar" and tell your "Mom" your "Dad" and your "taco cat" - the next ten consecutive days are palindromes!
A palindrome
is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters that reads the same backward as forward. In this case, it's the next ten dates in the m-dd-yy format.
Beginning in 2011, every year has had ten consecutive Palindrome Days. In 2011, this occurred in January and has bumped one month later in each successive calendar year.
The next time a palindrome week will occur in the format m-dd-yy will be in January of 2021, then February of 2022, and so on. That gives us some time to
consider the truly deep questions, such as "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" and should you "Borrow or rob?" (borrow, definitely...)

Signal Box Design Call for Entries
Foothills Art Center and the City of Golden are teaming up to further beautify downtown Golden. Signal boxes are large grey metal boxes located at many intersections in Golden. They contain the hardware for managing the timing of traffic and crossing signals. We are asking the community of artists in our state to design and submit artwork to be applied to these boxes. We are very excited about this opportunity to highlight the talent of our local artists in these high traffic and high visibility locations.
The signal boxes typically go unnoticed by passersby and in some cases they can be quite unsightly. Rather than taking measures to camouflage them further, we would like to re-purpose them as a showcase for artistic excellence.

In December 2017 the City purchased the Delong property at 395 23rd Street for the purpose of creating a neighborhood park, which will fill a void in the parks master planning process for the community. The new neighborhood park will be located on 23rd Street, between East Street and Table Heights Drive. The planning process for the new park is just beginning. The area is a blank slate with no plans currently in place; the Parks, Recreation and Museums Advisory Board (PRMAB) is seeking public input on how the area should be developed.
The intent of the public process is to generate ideas from the community. For questions on the public process, please contact Stacy Turner, 303-384-8191 or
