Public Service Company moves to new skyscraper in Denver
Corinne Hunt Chalk notes a Denver shift as Public Service Company of Colorado relocates to a gleaming new skyscraper from a 50 year old building. The old gas and electric HQ boasted thousands of bulbs but fans dislike the modern building’s bathroom scale style, preferring the old weight scales. She urges readers to try Cinerama holidays offering multi thrill experiences in one evening.
