After nearly a decade of following this thread, it is now my turn to continue its venerable legacy in the footsteps of the explorers who came before.
In other words, I'm in Denver for a month or two and I decided to swing by and see where The Barn is now. These days it's no longer in the middle of nowhere- the suburbs have sprawled out and subsumed it, and now it sits in the middle of a public park in an upper middle class housing development. There's even a playground outside.
But not all is as it seems. Despite becoming a public park and getting a fresh coat of paint, The Barn still looks abandoned. All the windows are boarded up and the whole building is plastered in "NO TRESPASSING" signs. Curious, considering that you'd think it would have gotten torn down instead of being left in the middle of a public park in a gentrified suburb.
New letters on the outside of The Barn claim it belongs to an organization called "WELDFORD FARM," but why would they have a barn in the middle of the suburb? Even the playground next to it is suspect, because signs posted by the municipality declare the playground "CLOSED 24/7 FOR MAINTENANCE".
Curiouser and curiouser.
