02/11/2008 21:55:33 -08:00

My husband and I where visiting colorado spring. We just happened to be in the area of all of the nite life. We had the most wonderful time. Very exciting. If you love to party visit here!

Poor area, Stay away

02/11/2008 21:51:35 -08:00

My family and I had visited colorado spring and ended up right smack in the middle of this neighborhood. Was not the place for my family and I to be. This place was disgusting, high with crime, & run down. I saw several shady people standing on the corner, May have ben selling drugs. if you visit s...

Nice area to live and close to the necessities

31/10/2008 14:03:44 -07:00

This is a pleasant and established neighborhood - a nice place to live a raise a family. It is close to Quail Lake Park, which has a good walking path and allows fishing as well. Also nearby you can find grocery stores, entertainment, basic shopping and good restaurants. It is on the south side of t...

Don't go there, unless you have to

31/10/2008 13:57:27 -07:00

Las Vegas street is a dingy, run down area that can be dangerous after dark and industrial during the day. If you head east, you will pass some auto parts yards and then past the water treatment plant, evenutally leading to jail (literally). Don't both cutting through, the smell alone should warn yo...

Insanely steep road with absolutely no parking

31/10/2008 13:51:36 -07:00

Uinta Road is a tiny mountainside road in Manitou Springs which is so steep it is practically vertical. There is no parking and barely room for two cars to pass. Extremely treacherous in winter weather conditions, the residents still seem to manage it (and do have incredible mountain views behind th...

A quiet residential street

31/10/2008 13:47:48 -07:00

Tremont Street is a relatively quiet residential street, especially on the south side. The north end where it hits Fillmore is a little seedy, but as you head south the neighborhood is nicer, full of smaller homes and the occasional apartment building. There are a few schools in the area and lots of...

Off the main drag

31/10/2008 13:34:21 -07:00

Ruxton Avenue leads off the main street of Manitou Ave, past shops, galleries and restaurants. After passing the Mountain Man and other area favorites, the street will curve past Kelley Glass Studio - a great local gallery featuring local art and handmade beads. You will pass through a residential a...

A beautiful street to take a drive

31/10/2008 12:51:27 -07:00

N Cheyenne Canyon Road heads past the Starsmore Discovery Center and up onto a winding path into the mountains. The road is very twisty and will require your close attention, but there are plenty of places to stop off and have a picnic or start a hike. It will take you to Helen Hunt Falls, a smaller...

A good street for shopping, errands and hotels.

31/10/2008 12:45:51 -07:00

Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard is an extremely useful street to know. It starts at Lake Avenue and winds its way southwest from there, passing a big Target Shopping Center, several hotels and the Tinseltown Movie Theatre. After that section, it passes Quail Lake Park – a great place to take the kids or...

Goes from pretty to ugly as you pass through town

31/10/2008 12:43:55 -07:00

The most confusing street (or set of streets) in town is Lake Avenue, which starts as Lake Circle by the Broadmoor Hotel, then becomes Lake Avenue, only to change to Circle Drive just a few miles later at I-25. From there Circle Dr. continues north to become Fillmore, which later changes again. The...

A beautiful way to visit Seven Falls

31/10/2008 12:41:44 -07:00

One of the best streets in Colorado Springs is Cheyenne Boulevard. While there are a lot of “Cheyenne” streets in the city, it is worth checking this one out. After passing a school zone, it meanders through a shady, tree-lined established old neighborhood near the Broadmoor area, and passes the lit...

Gorgeous drive to see the city views and the mountains

31/10/2008 12:36:11 -07:00

Gold Camp road is a great way to drive into the mountains and get away from the city. It is a rough dirt road most of the way, but totally worth the effort. You will get gorgeous views of the whole city (especially nice at night) and go through some really cool old tunnels. Beware the high school cr...

A favorite stop-off while visiting the Springs

30/10/2008 04:37:29 -07:00

I love the nightlife that presents itself on Cascade Avenue. One of my favorite places to visit there is Antlers Grille and Judge Baldwin's. It offers both upscale dining, as well as Colorado Springs' first brewpub, all in the same building, and looks like an old english lodge. The food is fabulo...

a path in the middle of nowhere

30/10/2008 04:32:48 -07:00

North Gate Road is on the Northeast side of the Springs, and is home to the Western Museum of Mining and Industry. The setting itself is not much to speak of. It is pretty much highway with turnoffs, and a few residential streets. However the museum is an interesting stop-off for some hands-on ad...

A street close to everything

30/10/2008 04:28:34 -07:00

S. Tejon Street is home to the Colorado Springs Pioneer Museum, and it bisects S. Nevada Avenue, one of the major thoroughfares of Colorado Springs. The neighborhood isn't the greatest, and there isn't a whole lot to see or do around there, but the museum is an interesting piece of history, where a...

A real feel for life in Colorado Springs

30/10/2008 04:23:56 -07:00

N. Cascade Avenue in Colorado Springs has a lot of small businesses and old shops. It is also home to the Money Museum, which is an interesting stop. You can see all kinds of rare money on exhibit, from unusual coins to misprinted paper money. And best of all, the museum is free to get in!

A great place to visit with the family

30/10/2008 04:15:39 -07:00

What a beautiful place in the Springs! From Agia Sophia Espresso and Books, to the vintage candy store, there is something for everybody in this part of Colorado Springs. Agia Sophia is a stunning coffeehouse with scarlet walls and leather sofas to enjoy aromatic coffee while having an intimate ga...

a beautiful place to visit in the heart of the Springs

30/10/2008 04:09:35 -07:00

One Lake Avenue is home to the Broadmoor Hotel, a Colorado Springs landmark. It is full of beautiful shops, unique gifts, and art galleries, all within walking distance of interesting pubs and restaurants. Be sure to have a big budget if you are shopping at the shops at the Broadmoor, because it w...

beautiful terrain leading to an interesting aspect of Colorado Springs

30/10/2008 04:04:24 -07:00

Exquisitely beautiful views of some of the grandeur of Colorado can be seen as you travel Cheyenne Mountain Zoo road to the zoo in Colorado Springs. It is the only mountain zoo in the country, and guests have the opportunity to hand feed the giraffes. Quite an adventure for the family!

The hub of downtown

30/10/2008 03:58:45 -07:00

Pikes Peak Avenue Summarizes Colorado Springs. It is full of great nightlife, such as 13Pure Nightclub and Bistro, and is around the corner from Cimarron Avenue where the Warehouse is. There are quaint little coffee shops as well as cafes for the daytime, and a thriving night scene for singles, or...

a great pass-through to Garden of the Gods, or a stop-off I-25

30/10/2008 03:51:51 -07:00

There isn't a whole lot happening on Garden of the Gods Road in Colorado Springs. However, there are tons of Gas Stations and fast food restaurants if you need to grab a quick bite, or fill up on your way to or from Garden of the Gods--quite possibly one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

quaint street, suburban living

30/10/2008 03:49:01 -07:00

I have visited a friend of mine who lived off Uintah street several times. It is a charming, old part of Colorado Springs with a suburban vibe, not too far from downtown happenings.

Lots of nice shops

29/10/2008 09:03:05 -07:00

Cacade is one of my favorites streets to visit downtown. That is where many locally owned and operated shops and eateries are, including Poor Richards, a used book store, pizza shop, and coffee bar, wine bar, and specialty toy shop, a great local place to visit with kids. There is also a gaming st...

nice view, icy hill west of academy intersection

29/10/2008 08:59:06 -07:00

Pikes Peak ave is great road to take if you are heading west towards the downtown. The street gets it’s name from the famous mountain that it faces. When you drive west from Academy there is a tall hill that is no problem in clear weather, but is a dangerous trap in icy conditions. Most locals kn...

lots of shopping and traffic

29/10/2008 08:55:44 -07:00

S. 8th street has a wal-mart and many different shops, and fast food places. If you are travelling west from or east to the highway, it is the last place to stop for gas, west of Interstate 25. Everything is located within a few blocks south of cimarron, or hwy 24. There is a post office over the...

LOOK OUT cant take the bridge

29/10/2008 08:34:59 -07:00

Bijou runs through downtown, and until recently the bijou bridge served traffic east west, but was deemed unsafe, and is no longer open, many older maps or map searches still listed, be aware the bijou street bridge is not there. The part of this street that cuts through downtown has some of my fav...

Traffic nightmare, but a necessary evil...

29/10/2008 08:23:23 -07:00

Academy serves as the main north and south artery in the town. if you are able to take an alternate route do so, but eventually everyone ends up there. In bad weather, it will be cleared before any of the smaller north and south passages, but that will be a tradeoff, if you are looking to avoid cro...

Great stop off of the highway

29/10/2008 08:19:38 -07:00

Garden of the God’s is a great road to stop off of interstate 25. It is a good spot to get gas or find all sorts of things to eat. If you are trying to get somewhere off of North academy, I have found it to be a great way to beat a little traffic on academy, and catch I 25 N, Garden of the gods i...

great bar hopping on Tejon

29/10/2008 08:15:45 -07:00

Tejon is the place to go for a pedestrian bar hopping nightlife in colorado springs. Several pubs, bars, and clubs occupy the downtown blocks of Tejon. The park downtown on Tejon is busy during lunch hours during the week, since Lewis Palmer High School students are allowed off campus for lunch. L...

Great shortcut north and south if you are west of the highway

29/10/2008 08:12:04 -07:00

21st street can be followed south from cimarron to get to several area attractions, It is a little known short cut, that locals take, but most visitors go all the way east to the hwy to travel north and south between attractions, when 21st street is a much faster, and more direct route. For those w...

Great shortcut north and south if you are west of the highway

29/10/2008 08:11:52 -07:00

Quiet residential street

29/10/2008 08:07:18 -07:00

this is a quiet residencial street. . Drive slow, as Kiowa is curvy in places, and is always occupied by pedestrians. on colder, snow days, watch out, it stays icy even when some of the less shaded streets have melted. Even in the best weather conditions, take it slow as there are many stop signs...

Old Colorado City

29/10/2008 07:59:34 -07:00

Colorado is tricky, it changes names. If you are getting directions to follow manitou ave, but your GPS is telling you something different, it’s because Manitou Ave is it’s name in Manitou springs, co. Somewhere, and even most locals don’t know where, Manitou Ave BECOMES Colorado ave, which itself...

Great area for quiet, yet nice neighbors to become friends with.

28/10/2008 03:19:42 -07:00

You are looking for a nice quiet homey place to live and have a close relationship with the neighbors? Having a good street to have block parties, having a little park nearby to have the kids to all play and know its all safe as you can keep an eye on them at all times.
103rd Dr is perfect! Very qu...

Wheres your house? Are your doors locked?

28/10/2008 03:09:06 -07:00

When you hear the name Denver Ave, what do you think? I immediately think.. its in Denver. Well it is not there in Denver, no where near actually, its in Longmont.
Longmont is north towards Ft. Collins. Normally I would say the town is nice, but it has gone down the tubes. Has become infested with...

A perfect place to have a joy ride

17/07/2008 10:55:28 -07:00

I remember this street most vividly when I was on vacation here, Driving in my aunts Lexus using the nav because I had absolootly no idea where I was going. But when it said "Turn right on Larimer Street" I was like Wow what a werid name for a street. But the part that stands out the most to me is t...

Great street for travelling also includes some great food.

16/07/2008 14:05:09 -07:00

Jewell Avenue is a great street to use if you need to go east or west. But that’s not all it has. This great street packs good food along with the stores we all need to use. Drugs stores and such. A gas station near Kipling sells some of the best milk I’ve ever had. Its fresh and you get a di...

If you like to live with the Roaches and Bad traffic....

28/10/2008 02:56:15 -07:00

This might be a bit confusing about this street here, but its horrible regardless, no matter if your coming east or west, it is Hampden st, but there is an area where it is this street here, E. Jefferson. between them both.
There is a line of apartment complexes on the south side. That's all, and...

Nice area for curious adults, quiet life and fun.

28/10/2008 02:11:07 -07:00

While going down I-25 to Academy, then Heading down Academy Dr going east to Flintridge, take a right, the south side is pretty nice. Nice atmosphere, a bit of a business area right here though but nothing was dirty, I did not see any tagging, which is nice. Seemed to be a pretty quiet area, for bei...

Great foods places abound.

16/07/2008 14:00:09 -07:00

US-40 or Colfax avenue is a great place to go for food. This once run down street has now started to rebuild. All along this street great dining has popped up. From the great Asian place I love to chains This street has food that everyone can enjoy. Need to do some shopping after your great...

Great mall located here.

16/07/2008 13:54:54 -07:00

Alaska drive is the main street of Belmar’s new outdoors mall. This mall has tons of stores from clothing to the movies. Everyone can find something to like at this mall. To top it all of every Sunday they host there own farmers market. This is defiantly the place to be on Sunday. The market...

Great food down the street, HORRIBLE street Run Away!

28/10/2008 02:09:15 -07:00

On the 16th block of Kendall st, in Lakewood Colorado, which was mixed with Denver as well, it was on the border, they could not make up their mind as to what they wanted to be. Too many apartments which are dirty and full of trash.
I lived in a white house on Kendall st, it was a little house olde...

22nd and Sheridan AWESOME Eats!!!

28/10/2008 02:06:43 -07:00

Looking for some good places to sit down and have a good bite to eat? Wanting to go somewhere and know you are paying for is worth every cent? You want to get something different? Not the same ole taco, hamburger, chicken, it all gets so boring that's for sure!
Sure Sheridan has LOADS of places to...

Quiet frielndly neighborhood.

16/07/2008 13:47:38 -07:00

I have lived on butler way for almost twenty years and loved all of it. The community is great. Every year the street has a barbecue and the whole street arrives. Put this with neighborhood watch and a very quiet neighborhood this is a great place to live. To add a cherry to the already great...

Alameda is a great place for shopping around the town.

16/07/2008 13:41:29 -07:00

Alameda is a great place to go for shopping. This is the place where the Aurora Town Centre and Mall starts. IF you have some free time why not go for a cruise on Alameda. Along Alameda is Alameda high school which has a track that they allow people to run on when there not using it. I personal...

Don't waste your time, unless you want things stolen?

28/10/2008 02:03:19 -07:00

I have been to my friends house many many times on clay st, First to give you an ideal, federal blvd is near it, and well federal is trashy and gangs, now clay st is off 55th and federal, Say your going north on federal to 55th, on the west side you will see a yellow building its a place to sell fir...

Nice Area for Business's,Visitors,locals and more.

28/10/2008 02:01:34 -07:00

Once your on highway 6 going west to exit that says S. Union Blvd/Simms St. When you take the exit you will see on the right businesses, 1 being a night club on the corner, the right side is simms st, the left S. union blvd. Go Left, You will go over the highway, and then come into a very nice area...

Great street to get around on. Wouldn't want to live near here,

16/07/2008 13:33:23 -07:00

6th avenue is a great street to go downtown on or up to the mountains. Going east to downtown can be a pain during rush hour. This street is used by most people who need to go downtown so try to avoid it during rush hour if you can. I personally use this street to get to the mall. I would hat...

The best street to go north and south. Also has great houses to live on.

16/07/2008 13:27:46 -07:00

Kipling is without a doubt the best street to use if you need to go north or south. This street also features great houses to live in. I use this street everyday to get around and it rarely gets congested. I think this street gets pretty calm around ten o’clock so its also a good place to live...

Good street but it is rather noisy.

16/07/2008 13:24:52 -07:00

Garrison is a great street to live on or drive on. During the winter this is a great street to use as the traffic is always moving. I myself didn’t like living on garrison and would have preferred living a little ways back. But it isn’t that noisy I’m just used to living out near no roads. T...

Life on The Hill in college town, fun for all.

28/10/2008 02:00:15 -07:00

I remember in the early 1990's it was about 1991 to 1994 I use to go to a dance club there in boulder, and it was fun, and loads of nice people, it was called ground zero, that place has gone through a few names though but I am not sure what it is called now, but I know there is a club still.
Now...

Nice Quiet big homes, great neighbors!

28/10/2008 01:58:07 -07:00

Needing a nice area to live where there is kids for your kids to play with? fields to explore in? parks to play in? Trustworthy neighbors to help watch the area at all times, friendly and making friends with?
I use to live on this street 105th Place. Nice quiet street, very nice older homes, most...

Stay far away!!!!!

27/10/2008 18:34:25 -07:00

Nevada Ave. as a whole is a dirty area that anyone who can should avoid. South Nevada is by far the worst part. While there are a few nice areas around downtown and the court houses, the majority of this street is filled with vagrancy and poverty. A quick drive through this area to get to a final de...

16th is vastly overrated

07/08/2008 10:23:38 -07:00

It is obvious that most of these reviews are from people who only visit a couple of times a year. 16th Street, while novel, leaves much to be desired.

As someone who lived downtown for a couple of years, I can tell you that the one thing that 16th has plenty of is homeless people. There is no sho...

Great street in a great neighborhood!

04/08/2008 21:31:07 -07:00

I've live on Eudora Street for 5 years and am very happy with the block and neighborhood. The proximity to Lindsley Park is great. Access to bus line 10 and 15 for an easy commute downtown. My only complaint is the weird sidewalks between 8th and 13th, they are more like giant curbs than sidewalk...

Life on the Edge

29/07/2008 07:48:45 -07:00

Egewater Court and Edgewater Place is located about 15-20 minutes SSE of downtown Denver in the City of Lone Tree, CO.

Country Club Estates (HOA covenants are not overly restrictive, but people do tend to have agendas) is a small enclave (22 homeowners) adjacent to the 1st hole on the Lone Tree...

Aspen is a fantastic place to live or to visit. The natural beauty, sporting life and cultural and entertainment options make it the best place on earth.

25/07/2008 09:46:41 -07:00

Aspen is the perfect mix of a small friendly town with a major world class resort lifestyle. At AspenSpin.com we live by the mantra GO BIG, or Go Home.

Unfortunately the cost of "living the dream" is pretty high. The billionaires are pushing the millionaires downvalley.

Always interesting and active

20/07/2008 19:10:04 -07:00

The longest running continuous street in the United States. Always in various levels of redevelopment there's a mixture of old classic shops and hip new shops with several small art galleries providing culture. Also a ton of music venues that give you something to do Friday night. Convenient bus sto...

Great ski town

18/07/2008 08:37:20 -07:00

Located in the valley between two ski mountains, Steamboat Springs is a gorgeous city for families and couples. Less expensive than Vail or Aspen, Steamboat Springs offers ski town living at a reasonable price. There's plenty of outside activities available in both winter and summer times. The main...

Nice street in the city

17/07/2008 19:21:08 -07:00

There's plenty of apartments and houses along the street that range from small studios to large homes. There's not as many shops or restaurants but all within walking distance. Plenty of coffee shops though to keep you caffeinated.

Beautiful homes in the city

17/07/2008 19:10:49 -07:00

A gorgeous street with houses perfect for families who still want to live in the city. The public schools aren't the best but there are private options. There's a lot of character in the street and the houses and plenty of places of worship.

Always something going on

17/07/2008 18:51:10 -07:00

Going straight into downtown Broadway is full of things to do. There's shops, museums, the famous Denver Public Library and more nightclubs than you can imagine.

Great place to be near the city

17/07/2008 18:46:51 -07:00

Nice street to live on if you work in downtown, you can walk or take a short bus trip into the city. A mixture of art deco apartments and classic houses to fit all budgets.

Heart of the city

17/07/2008 18:36:30 -07:00

16th St. is the heart of downtown Denver with two malls and countless restaurants and shops. There's a free shuttle that takes people from Larimer to Broadway, good for when you've just bought too much stuff to walk back.

Little more residental street in the city

17/07/2008 18:32:23 -07:00

Located far enough away from the main streets that it's quieter and safer. Good for people who want to be close to the city life.

Good place for college students

17/07/2008 17:43:14 -07:00

Located near several of the downtown universities, 9th offers a good location for students who want to take a bus, walk or ride a bike to school. It's quieter than some other streets but nearly impossible to find parking.

Major hustle and bustle

17/07/2008 17:35:01 -07:00

One of the streets that cuts right through the city. Always loud and clogged with traffic although there is always something to do. Restaurants and night clubs are plentiful but are often changing. For groceries you have to go more into the residential areas of the city or simply eat out all the tim...

Hip street located just off the main streets of the city

17/07/2008 17:31:02 -07:00

Sherman St. is located just off of the two main streets of Lincoln and Broadway in Denver. The street is pretty safe during the day although you might want to be extra cautious at night time. It's expensive because you are so close to the city but offers all the luxuries the city has to offer.

Great north south street to use. Gets pretty congested during rush hour.

16/07/2008 13:20:21 -07:00

Wadsworth is a great street to use if you need to go north south. It is rather crowded due to all of the establishments that have popped up on it. IF you have to go north south fast I wouldn’t use Wadsworth. Be careful about using this street during rush hour as it gets very very crowded and tra...

quiet peacful street in a great friendly neighborhood.

16/07/2008 13:16:23 -07:00

Cody is a great street both to live on and to drive through. This neighborhood is visually appealing with many houses that are different enough from the norm to really catch your eye. The people who live here are kind people who know everyone so theft isn’t an issue. They even have there own ne...

The heart of Denver

16/07/2008 09:46:43 -07:00

16th street is completely closed off to traffic (aside from mall shuttles) so there are hundres to thousands of people walking down it at any given time. there are dozens of restaurants and shops that will please anyones taste or budget. in the middle of downtown, the 16th Street pedestrian mall e...

Great place to shop

14/07/2008 10:11:40 -07:00

Take a walk down this street and you will find Cherry Creek North Shopping Center. You can find over 300 different stores, places to eat, art galeries and salons. There are stores for everyone to stop by and shop at. We had lots of fun going through every store to check out what stores are the same...

Great place to Shop

14/07/2008 10:03:02 -07:00

This is a great place to shop. You can find the new Denver Pavilions out door mall. They have tons of places to shop, eat and things to do. They have many different activities through out the year that draws some big crowds. A very hip place for both the old and young to enjoy.

Cool off in the heat!

14/07/2008 09:45:26 -07:00

If you are in the Denver area in the summer and need to cool down, try visiting Water World! AThis is one huge water park with many slides, rivers, pools, surfing, tubes and anything else water related you can think of. This place was packed with people of all ages trying to cool down from the summe...

Fun Fun Fun!

14/07/2008 09:41:49 -07:00

When I was out here with my family, one place we were told about and had to visit was Skyventure Colorado. This is Colorado's indoor skydiving facility. I regret not participating in this amazing activity. Anyone from 3 to 103 can fly around in different wind tunnels. You can also take a video captu...

Family Fun Found Here!

14/07/2008 09:35:52 -07:00

Drive down this road and there is more entertainment that can be found. Lakeside Amusement Park is another great attraction to the city. When the summer heats up, this is a great place to take your family for a little "family fun"! There are multiple activities for all ages to participate in.

Tons of Entertainment!!

14/07/2008 09:24:42 -07:00

One of the places that I visited with my family was Elitch Gardens in Denver! This place was a blast! Tons of games, rides and roller coasters. This was a great family day! My favorite was the Mind Eraser. This is a great place to enjoy with family. Lots of action for kids.

Football games here!

14/07/2008 09:16:12 -07:00

Tour this street and you will find Invesco Field at Mile High - Home to the Denver Broncos! This town has lots of Bronco pride as the city and street is filled with excitement during game times. There are multiple places to grab a bite before the game starts. Fun for the whole family!

Ball Game Time!

14/07/2008 08:59:01 -07:00

Take a stroll down this street and you can find Coors Field. This is the home of the Colorado Rockies Baseball team. Pretty stadium as we caught a game when they played the Reds a few years back. Its always fun to go to a baseball game in another city.

One of my favoite roads!!

14/07/2008 08:54:50 -07:00

I traveled to many places through out my life. This is one of my most favorite drives. This road will take you through out the Rocky Mountains. Beautiful scenery and nature surrounds you everywhere. It is very relaxing and peaceful to see. If you are in the area, you must tour part of this road. You...

Great Park to Visit

14/07/2008 08:49:22 -07:00

Everyone needs to take a drive down this street. This is where City Park is located. Millions of things to do. You can stroll by and look at the flowers, play a round of golf, check out the Museum of Nature and science, say hello to the animals at the zoo and tons more! Great place for families.

A horrible place to visit or to live

14/07/2008 08:16:20 -07:00

There is not really much to visit S. Kendall Street for. It is mostly residential. with a small park and an apartment complex and some homes. It is off a frontage road that runs along Hampden Avenue to Sheridan, and is extremely run down. There is gang grafitti constantly being sprayed on signs a...

Everything anybody could want on one stretch of street

14/07/2008 08:12:02 -07:00

I am not sure it is really fair to call 16th street a street at all. You can't drive down it, unless you are riding the Mall Ride shuttle. However, 16th Street in Denver has EVERYTHING anybody could want. Want to catch a movie? Head toward the Pavilions on 16th street for an amazing theater. Fe...

Mixed retail/restaurant crowds

14/07/2008 08:08:45 -07:00

Evans Avenue goes from beautiful to seedy really fast. There are a lot of bars and restaurants along Evans Avenue, some of which I would refuse to enter without making sure I have received a tetanus booster shot. There are estate auction sales shops, as well as car dealerships near Holly and Grape...

Bustling city all around

14/07/2008 08:04:12 -07:00

I used to work in a building on 19th and Curtis Street. It is a spectacular part of the city--far enough away from the major crowds of the 16th street mall, but close enough to major shopping and attractions to be convenient. It is the home of a store selling cookie bouquets, which are so pretty t...

Major highway with neighborly spirit

14/07/2008 08:00:59 -07:00

Hampden goes all the way from the mountains to the city of Aurora. It is an interesting stretch of highway, where there is plenty of shopping available in the newly renovated Alexan City Center, places for the kids like Chuck E. Cheese, or other retail therapy for people who love to shop. There ar...

old Denver with a newer vibe

14/07/2008 07:57:45 -07:00

I love traveling along Broadway into Downtown Denver. There are quaint little shops all along the strip, with tons of antique dealers, the army surplus store, tattoo shops, and then major venues like Herman's Hideaway. It is almost a neighborhood setting, and parking is generally easy to find. Pa...

14/07/2008 07:53:50 -07:00

From furniture outlets to a Christmas outlet store, there is just about everything offered on this stretch of road. Further north, th...

Major Denver thoroughfare

14/07/2008 07:46:54 -07:00

Federal is a North-South thoroughfare through Denver, and offers another seedy glimpse into the underbelly of Denver. While there are parts of Federal that offer interesting shopping and dining, it is not a place I would generally stop to visit. It is peppered with pawn shops, bail bonds, and stri...

The seedy side of Denver

14/07/2008 07:44:12 -07:00

There are a few streets in Denver which should be used mainly for commuting. Sheridan Boulevard is one of these streets. It is a seedier view of Denver, with a lot of gang activity and crime and a lot of traffic accidents. It is a good thoroughfare to get to where you need to go, but I don't reco...

A long stretch of road where you can see everything downtown has to offer

14/07/2008 07:39:51 -07:00

From the Countryclub lifestyle, to some of the seedier areas of town. Continue further into the heart of Denver, and y...

artsy corner of Denver

14/07/2008 07:36:14 -07:00

Writer's Square, the Tabor Center, Howard Lorton Galleries, Sambuca's Jazz bar--it's all right there on Larimer Street. I love this little corner of downtown Denver. You can walk along Larimer and be invited to an outdoor patio cafe of a restaurant on the corner of 18th Street and Larimer, or con...

a big city with small town feel

14/07/2008 07:30:34 -07:00

As far as big cities go, Denver is on the small side. However, downtown Denver has everything to offer from Posh neighborhoods to good eats, to beautiful parks and breathtaking mountain views. I love Denver because it still has a bit of small town feel to it, while it is booming in industry, arts,...

Great street close to it all!

12/07/2008 19:47:29 -07:00

The entire length of West Shoreline Drive is located within the the par...

Nice road with great lake views.

12/07/2008 18:21:33 -07:00

West Byron Place is home to both residential and businesses alike. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of this street is the fact that it takes you along the North side of Sloans Lake and even through part of Sloans Lake Park, making it a much used access point to all the lake has to offer.

Great place to raise a family.

South Jackson Street, like so many of its neighboring streets, has a quiet, yet charming air about it.

Another College Street

11/07/2008 08:38:12 -07:00

This one is definitely for college-kids. I wouldn't recommend this part of town for people with kids as the college students tend to get a little rowdy. However, a single or couple in the 20-something age bracket might find it really great, if you're okay with some noise. There's plenty to do and th...
