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: LoDo Streets Open, Huston Street Closing!

The only real Street news this weekend should be Rockies closer Huston Street. How about those Rocks!?

Actually, one short segment of 21st between Broadway and California will be closed for a World Cup Final event suspiciously close to the British Bulldog. That's on Sunday.

And, Biennial events consume both the Skate Park and City of Cuernavaca Park, north of Commons Park, for the weekend. You'll have a chance to visit the All Nations Skate Jam or the Indigenous Village. Check the Biennial website here for more information on this month long celebration of the Americas.

But, after perusing our lists and sources over and over for street closures, or assorted wierd events, Denver by the Slice will just relish one of the best weekends of the year for sports.

World Cup Final, Netherlands versus Spain. All European. All Spain.

And, the Tour de France enters the Alps this weekend. Over two full weeks of racing to go in what is arguably the most difficult sporting event in the world. Anything can happen. And, the scenery is beautiful. Watch it on VS, Comcast Channel 73. (And, please, do not take that as an outright endorsement of Comcast. Just telling you where it is.)

And, the Rockies. Heading to the All Star break with three games against the Padres. Coincidentally, the friars have a 3-game lead on the Rockies, so these are very, very big games. Expect big crowds and bad driving. Huston Street closing!
