Once, the area around Union Station in downtown Denver was a forgotten and dying spot, our own “Skid Row.” From the veneer of decay a sparkling gem has risen—reborn as LoDo, short for Lower Downtown. Join Tom “Dr. Colorado” Noel for a walk among the lovely bones of old buildings that have been made vibrant once more, with stories of immigrants, streetcars and flop houses in the past spun into a modern tapestry of brewpubs, transit dynamos and skyscrapers. Every block has secrets to seek, even as the bustling masses of urban living hustle past us. Join us for a closer look at the new heart of the City of Denver, LoDo! Provide your own transportation to starting point.
