Is Laffite’s still in Larimer Square in Denver??

We have so many Denver memories – one of which was sometimes going to Lafitte’s after seeing a play at the downtown theatre.  Is Lafitte’s still in Denver??  Larimer Square had so many interesting shops and great restaurants.  Guess I’m getting homesick for a place that isn’t my home anymore.

Speaking of performances at the theater (Denver Center for Performing Arts):  a memorable play was the one-act play with Henry Fonda as Clarence Darrow.  Fonda gave a mesmerizing performance.  I think that play was directed by John Houseman (but I could be mistaken).  Does anyone remember the television series “The Paper Chase” starring Houseman?  I thought that was one of the better television programs (I rarely watch television these days).  And of course John Houseman also did commercials for the brokerage firm of Smith Barney.  {Boy!  I am really dating myself, aren’t I?}

When we saw A Shot in the Dark, Hubby slept through most of it – until the ‘shot in the dark’ – the blank gunshot woke him up with a start!  If memory serves, James Keach was in this play (now probably best known because he married actress Jane Seymour and is Stacey Keach’s brother).

Oh!  Another great play we saw at the Denver Center for Performing Arts was The Four Poster with Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy.  Their performances were flawless.

Well!  I certainly am waxing nostalgic and nattering on and on  – about a time years ago in a city in which we no longer live.  But the Denver years were great.  As were the Houston years (both times) and the Farmington years . . . and now the Seguin years (I wasn’t  that thrilled with  the one Dallas year!).
