• Take the Hint, Golden Businesses! (goldentoday.com) — Golden business owners in 1935 took a cue from Evergreen’s successful winter carnival and began advertising heavily in the Colorado Transcript, convinced that “it pays to advertise.” This nostalgic look back highlights how nearly every Golden shop, from Foss Drug on down, embraced print ads to draw local customers. It’s a reminder of how promotion helped shape Golden’s small‑town economy.
   

• Embellished Golden Postcards (goldentoday.com) — If you love old images of Golden, this piece reveals how early 1900s postcard publishers routinely altered scenes of Lookout Mountain, Mt. Zion, and downtown Washington Avenue. From moving Guggenheim Hall to adding figures in the street, it shows how Golden’s landmarks were reshaped to look more impressive and marketable.
