Downtown Denver (No. 8)

LoDo (Lower Downtown) is an unofficial neighborhood in Denver, and is one of the oldest places of settlement in the city.  It is a mixed-use historic district, known for its nightlife, and serves as an example of success in urban reinvestment and revitalization.  The current population is approximately 21,145.

Prior to European exploration of the area, Native Americans, particularly the Arapaho tribe, established encampments along the South Platte River near or in what is now LoDo. In 1858, after the discovery of gold in the river, General William Larimer founded Denver by putting down cottonwood logs in the center of a square mile plot that would eventually be the current LoDo neighborhood, making LoDo both the original city of Denver, as well as its oldest neighborhood. Then, like now, LoDo was a bustling and sometimes wild area known for its saloons and brothels. During the Sand Creek Massacre, it was LoDo where the heads of the slaughtered Arapaho tribe were paraded in victory.

How to Have a #LoDoLove Denver Staycation

When the IGTD Team was growing up in Denver, LoDo wasn’t “LoDo.” To put it bluntly, lower downtown was dark and dingy with dilapidated viaducts and crumbling buildings, unloved and forgotten. But then visionaries like Dana Crawford and John Hickenlooper and others saw a better future for the district, paying homage to Denver’s old west history, raising the area to a vibrant example of…

The other day, I was downtown for my pals annual Christmastime tradition, Whiskeymas. Because I’m downtown so very rarely, it’s also a fun opportunity to take photos during the holiday season, when the city is often at its prettiest and most charming.  You can’t be downtown taking photos and not take a photo of Trinity Church. It’s a law — especially on Christmas Eve.

El Hombre Araña en Lower Manhattan

Hola, Hombre Araña!

Scroll down for English version Ni el viento de 23 grados Fahrenheit ni el cielo pálido de frío le impidieron a este super héroe estar por un buen rato en el cruce de Chambers y Centre Street de Manhattan saludando a los niños y a quien se encontrara a su paso. Me imagino que ese traje del Hombre Araña debe estar lo suficientemente cálido para soportar las bajas temperaturas de febrero en Nueva…
