Starting last October, the Ikelers have been very accomodating with both their time and house.

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.
