Bottomless Brunch at Tamayo

Here’s the thing with brunch buffets – they are great and you can pick and choose what you want, but it always looks like an unappealing mishmash on your plate. The oysters, prime rib, cured meat, salads and sweets all end up mingling their juices (unless you want to juggle a bunch of different plates as you walk back to your seat). What I like about bottomless brunch at Tamayo in Larimer Square,…

Downtown Denver (No. 5)

The G. W. & W. M. Clayton Building, also known as the Granite Hotel, Granite Building and the Clayton Building, is an 1882 commercial building in Denver, Colorado and is a Denver Landmark. It is a four-story building which was built in 1882 on the site of the first building in Denver, a log cabin. It was built to host the M.J. McNamara Dry Goods Company. G. W. & W. M. Clayton is inscribed near the top of the building for businessman George W. Clayton and his brother William M. Clayton, who served as mayor of Denver. The Denver Public Library has a photograph of the G. W. & W. M. Clayton Building.

It is a substantial building which eventually became a boarding house by the 1910s, and then a flophouse, however. Ownership changed in 1965 and it was restored by 1970. It held offices, restaurants, and a comedy club in its basement.

In 1969-70 it was in the Skyline Urban Renewal Area, and it was photographed by William Edmund Barrett for the Historic American Buildings Survey program.

It was designated a Denver Landmark in 1983.

It is located in the Larimer Square Historic District, which is a Denver Landmark. And it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building in the Larimer Square Historic District, which includes the entire 1400 block of Larimer St.; the nomination terms it the Clayton Building. It is described there as:

(Clayton Building) - In 1882 this massive and elaborate cut granite building was constructed with a large cornice hosting a filigree railing on the two street sides. Handsome cast-iron structural columns are exposed when not covered by the granite facade. Directly fronting the corner of the block is a bay front, adding an unusual dimension to the building. An interior shaft and skylight is the vent for the bathrooms. Along with the original stainglass windows this is one of the most unusual buildings on the block.

Pi Day

Pi, wonderful pi. It plays into so many aspects of our lives and goes on forever and ever and ever and ever and eve… You get the point. Every year there comes a certain day that shares numerical values with Pi, and on that day there is a celebration of Pi with every kind of Pie you can imagine. You see, pies are round, and Pi is circumference over diameter, a number that, while being functionally infinite, also happens to be a constant in every circle ever. Pi day celebrates the long history of this fantastic number, and the long journey science has taken (and is still on) to seek the end of a number known to be infinite in length.

History of Pi Day The history of pi day is, without a doubt, intrinsically tied to the origins of the number itself. The need for pi is as old as the wheel itself, and many techniques have been tried in many cultures to capture this elusive number in mathematics. The reach for the whole of this number was difficult, with ancient mathematical cultures only being able to barely find out to the seventh decimal, and Indian mathematicians (some of the greatest of their time) could only manage to decipher it out to five. Pi is truly one of the most fascinating numbers in existence, and the quest for the ultimate end of Pi has been sought for time out of mind. This seems a fool’s errand, given that it seems to extend infinitely in mathematical loops beyond and nothing has ever been found to contest this, this is particularly remarkable when you consider the following: modern techniques have been used to calculate pi out to millions of digits, and at no point has the pattern ever been found to reliably repeat itself.

How to celebrate Pi Day Ahhh an easier and more delicious question has never been posited! How do we celebrate Pi day? Why, by eating a great deal of Pie! Remember, Pies are circles, Pi describes circles, and through that we find that everything in the universe can be described with a pi(e). Other ways to celebrate this most amazing and transcendental of days (Pi is a transcendental number, look it up) is to research this number and discover all the amazing secrets it hides. Once you really get to understand the depths and complexities of it, you’ll understand why Pi day exists to celebrate a simple combination of digits.
