Listen to a podcast wherein I'm interviewed by two local students who want to humanize immigrant stereotypes; it's an entry for NPR's Student Podcast Challenge.

Vampire Grave in Lafayette, Colorado, Cemetery

January 21, 2020 by Karren Doll Tolliver

Come with me on a less-than-actually-spooky expedition to find a purported vampire's grave in Lafayette, Colorado, just north of Denver. Fodor Glava, who died in 1918, certainly left his mark by being from Transylvania and saying so on his tombstone.

John Breaux Bronze Bicyclist Sculpture in Louisville, CO

June 7, 2018April 26, 2018 by Karren Doll Tolliver

A community's loving memorial to a beloved resident, John Breaux. A bronze likeness of him stands in the center of town as a testament to his friendliness and status in Louisville, CO. We should all be half as loved.

Tangerine Restaurant in Lafayette, Colorado

June 7, 2018April 19, 2018 by Karren Doll Tolliver

Join me for a very yummy breakfast at Tangerine Restaurant in Lafayette, Colorado. I stopped there after photographing the purported "vampire" grave in Lafayette's cemetery a couple of weeks ago. Old Town Lafayette lent its considerable charm to the experience of this lunch/brunch destination.
