Welcome to New and News Stories about Living in Downtown Denver!

Here is a new community "newspaper" about life in LoDo and Downtown Denver. Opinionated? Likely. Entertaining? You'll see. Useful? Sure!

Street Watch: Hot Times in the Old Town

This third weekend in July just doesn't have much going for it. At least, not in the way of street closures. Besides the on-going mess of 15th Street between Little Raven and Boulder Street, there are just a couple of traffic disrupters you may want to know about.

Lawrence between Speer and 17th, then 17th to Broadway, will be closed late Saturday night for the Moonlight Bicycle Classic at the Civic Center. There is a special promotion with BCycle Denver for this event, so if you can't sleep, head over to the rack at Union Station, grab a bike and go for a ride. You may want to check the details first, which you can do here.

And, across the way in Highlands, the annual Mt. Carmel Church Bazaar closes Navajo evenings between 35th and 36th Avenues. A healthy walk over to food and games, and on the way back, your pockets will be much lighter...unless you win a ham.

Next Wednesday, the 21st, Larimer Street through the Square will be closed for a large dinner gala. Warm al fresco.

We survived the James Taylor/Carole King and Paul McCartney concerts this week. (Footnote: Paul McCartney was actually declared an Historic District before LoDo.) And, the Rockies are not back in town until July 27. So visit the galleries! Or watch the Tour de France. Stay cool this weekend...and be careful crossing the streets!
