Comments on: Remembering Zeckendorf Plaza http://buckfifty.org/2009/01/28/remembering-zeckendorf-plaza/ discovering the heart and soul of denver Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:53:07 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Mary Maybee http://buckfifty.org/2009/01/28/remembering-zeckendorf-plaza/comment-page-1/#comment-161 Mary Maybee Thu, 26 Feb 2009 23:13:41 +0000 http://buckfifty.org/?p=515#comment-161 I used to work for May D& F in the Zeckendorf Plaza days in the hyperbolic paraboloid, although at the time I was not aware of the name of the odd shaped building. It certainly was more fun with the skating rink there than the way it is now with nothing to do there to draw a crowd except an abandoned restaurant with a huge sign that says "Your Name Here" on it to attract people. Seems it was better in a time gone by along with the interesting structure attached to the dept. store that was a wonderful place to shop and work. I am glad to see this posting. I have been interested in a photo of my old workplace for a long time.
