Lakeside in Winter

On Changing Denver this month, we head northwest to Lakeside
Amusement Park. For more than a century, Lakeside has been a
popular destination for people of all ages, but only between May
and September. What happens during the park's off-season? Where
do the people of Lakeside go? And who are they?

Our theme song is "Minnow" by Felix Fast4ward.


Elk Minister and Chimney Choir generously allowed us to use their
music in this episode. "Into the Void of Emptiness" was the first
single of Elk Minister's upcoming album, "There's a System of
Control," which will be available through iTunes, Amazon,
Spotify, CDBaby and other distributors, like Elk Minister’s
website, bandcamp, and Soundcloud on January 13. The tracks "In
this Light," "I Know the Way," and "In the Underworld" all appear
on Chimney Choir's album "Boomtown". Their new album "(dream)" is
available now.
