In a window above the entrance to the Blake Street Vault (1526 Blake St.), there's a little tableau: A mannequin dressed as an Old West party girl sits facing the street, a bottle of Jack Daniel's close at hand on the barrel next to her.

It's a tribute to Lydia, the ghost that's supposedly still hanging around in the bar nearly 150 years after it was built. The historic building has seen a lot since 1863, so it's not too hard to believe there might be something left over from Denver's dusty past.
