Spring is tulips popping up through melting snow as you drive down Speer Boulevard, Aspen trees beginning to show their bright green leaves and icy, slushy lakes melting away and rivers begin to rush. It’s breathtaking! So is Denver Magazine’s Spring Issue. There’s cover-boy, Colorado Rockies left fielder Matt Holliday, and a fun photo shoot with his beautiful family; an interview with Emmy Award-winning funny guy, Dana Carvey; and springtime fashion, where jolts of bright color, sexy silhouettes and pretty patterns stand out like blossoms among the beauty of Denver Botanic Gardens. Don’t miss the story – and video – of freelance writer Ilan Baril’s transformation, “From Sasquatch, to Sophisticated.” It’s hilarious!
