Dogs of Capitol Hill Photography Series Looking for Subjects
25 Sep 07 | Introduce Yourself
Calling all Boutique Apartment dogs!
My name is Brea Fisher and I live in Shambhala Apartments. I am currently working on a personal project to photograph the many dogs of the area.
If you have a dog, or two, or three, please contact me-- I’d love to photograph them. All photographs will be edited and compiled for a book and calendar which will be available for purchase.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Happy Lulu Dog Walking Services
25 Sep 07 | BA Announcements
Happy Lulu to You!
Every dog needs at least one walk a day to stay healthy, happy and calm. And every apartment dog needs even more than that. Sadly, our busy work schedules don’t permit us time to give our best friends those brisk mid-day walks they need. According to the National Geographic Channel’s “Dog Whisperer,” Cesar Millan, all good dogs receive three things from their owners: “Exercise, discipline, and affection—in that order.” Daily exercise is the first and most important way to restore your dog to a natural calm state and eliminate stressed behaviors such as chewing, barking or tail chasing. Correcting these behaviors is especially crucial for apartment dwellers. Happy Lulu dog walking services is now filling slots for mornings and afternoons, Monday through Saturday, in Denver’s Capitol Hill and surrounding neighborhoods. Call to meet your Dog Walker and fellow Boutique Apartments Resident, Brea Fisher. Once a bond of trust is formed between Brea and your dog, services can begin immediately. Daily walk is $8 for 25 minutes, paced to the age and size of your dog.
As a special offer to all Boutique Apartment residents, Happy Lulu is offering the first two dog walks free of charge when you sign up for at least three walks a week.
Happy Lulu! Brea

Re-Use a Shoe
13 Sep 07 | Green Ideas
Every year, millions of pairs of athletic shoes end up in landfills or are disposed of in some other way. One solution is Nike’s Reuse-a-Shoe program, where worn-out athletic shoes of any brand are collected, processed and recycled into material used in sports surfaces like basketball courts, tennis courts, athletic fields, running tracks and playgrounds for youth around the world.
In Denver, you can drop off your used shoes (they can be any brand) at Niketown at the Downtown Pavilions, at the corner of 16th Street and Glenarm.

Ahoy!
10 Sep 07 | Introduce Yourself
Hey there!
My name is megs, and I just moved here to Aperture from my previous place in Ft Collins. It was a change for me, as I’ve been in Ft C for a little over 8 years where I was attending undergrad and graduate school for Anthropology, and was used to strutting around town and knowing everyone.
But Denver seems like a blast so far, and I’m looking forward to getting into the groove here, and would love to meet people in the buildings!!
I’m trying to get my journalism career off and starting here(having done work for the local papers in Northern CO) and would also like to finish up my PhD in Anthropology some day!
