By CBS Denver Staff:

Everyone is getting ready for St. Patrick's Day festivities around Denver. Thursday morning, Blake Street was changed to Tooley Street- but only for a short time.

The sign is named in honor of long-time Denver District Attorney Dale Tooley, who is remembered for doing many amazing things for the people of Denver. He passed away in 1985 but his legend lives on in the victims' compensation and neighborhood watch programs that still exist today.
