John,

Thanks for not letting that nonexistant street corner deter you! I wrote that one years ago, before the likes of Google Earth and yahoo maps were available. These days I either set my novels in fictional towns (as in my upcoming Small Crimes--which had to be in a fictional area!), or I make good use of Google Earth--a great resource for writers! I did spend 5 years in Colorado--most of it Boulder with only occassional trips to East Colfax ;)

Yeah, I agree with you, something a bit off about that narrator, and probably with the writer too...
