Pride Fest was great this year. I couldn't beleive how many people were there- I read that they were estimating that the event attracted upwards of 250,000 people, and is one of the largest in the nation.

Oh the dykes on bykes.........I think that it is just a traditional thing, they always are at the front of the parade.

However, to make it clear---Columbine Valley is not in Littleton: it is mostly in unicorporated Jefferson County as is Columbine High School. The western boundary of the City of Littleton stops at the Platte where the Columbine Country Club begins across the river--an area that is unicorporated and this is the area more defined as the Columbine Valley. The City of Littleton does extend just on the southern edges to Platte Canyon Rd. On the northern edge of the Columbine Valley, Littleton extends to the Arapahoe County Line but is a few miles east of Columbine H.S.

The Columbine valley is more along Platte River Road and the Country Club which is not Littleton but Littleton occupies a smaller portion in the south around Cooley Reservoir, near Ken Caryl.

These unicorporated areas have Littleton addresses. What makes it even stranger, The City of Denver is closer the Columbine High School because the southwest boundary extends out south of the Bowles Reservoir (this reservoir which is unicorporated Jefferson County) to about Cross Drive. The City of Denver encompasses Marston Reservoir.

If the post office assignment had been Denver for the high school, Littleton would not have the reputation of this tragedy--Denver would have been known for it.

Well, some of the media did at first say the school was in Denver, since it is technically in the metro area. Still, that southwestern fringe of Denver doesn't feel like part of Denver at all - it feels like what it is, an unnecessary extention of the city limits into foreign territory (similar to Denver's incorporation of DIA).
