Masonry city

I do a lot of walking and as I'm going around Denver I see a lot of buildings under construction. Despite the economy, a lot of people are building and a lot of people are building with masonry. This weekend I saw a 2-story house at 44th and Wolff that is being veneered with brick, a strip mall on Sheridan being constructed of block and brick, and an office building being constructed with masonry. In between were miles of neighborhoods of brick homes, banks and office buildings of brick and block, and masonry commercial structures of all kinds. I think in the entire 34 miles I walked this weekend (training walk for a fund-raising event), I did not go a single block without seeing a masonry building. This town has class.
