Colorado Capitol To Be Converted To Lofts
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper today announced that the state capitol building had been seized by the City and County of Denver and would be converted to lofts. “The Capitol was one of the few old buildings in Denver that hadn’t yet been converted to lofts,” said Hickenlooper. “It was really only a matter of time.”
Hickenlooper went on to say that the seizure was entirely legal thanks to this year’s US Supreme Court ruling on eminent domain. “The land has already been rezoned, and the city is taking bids from developers. Naturally, we will compensate the State government for the value of the property. Probably in Wynkoop Brewery Gift Cards.”
When pressed for comment, Colorado Governor Bill Owens shrugged. “The building was full of Democrats, anyway.”

if your career limiting move gets you fired, then you should have a decent career ahead of you at the onion.
Thank you. That’s a really nice compliment. -SF
