Phil Goodstein
Perhaps no one has more appreciation and concern for Denver's historic Capitol Hill neighborhood than local author and historian Phil Goodstein. His book The Ghosts of Denver: Capitol Hill was influential and helpful in this project. He also plays the perfect ghost eccentric.
A native of Denver, Phil has written several books. They are: The Theory of the General Strike, Denver's Capitol Hill, South Denver Saga, Exploring Jewish Colroado, The Seamy Side of Denver, and Denver Streets: Names, Numbers, Locations, Logic. They are available in local bookstores.
Phil also gives walking and bus tours of Capitol Hill through Colorado Free University.
