Civic Center Park
Emily Foos: Civic Center Park hosts a variety of festivals and outdoor events during the spring and summer months. This is a photo from the 2011 Moonlight Classic. For those who have not been out to experience this one (as a rider or a bystander,) it is quite a sight & definitely something to check out! The event is typically held in July and is a 10-mile non-competitive late night bicycle ride that runs from around 8pm till about 2am. With the support of the City of Denver and the Denver Police Department, the course is closed to automobile traffic allowing participants to ride safely on city streets. It begins and ends at the Colorado State Capitol, taking cyclists through Denver’s historic neighborhoods, including the business district, Lower Downtown, Congress Park, and the Cherry Creek shopping district! Participants are benefitting the InnovAge Foundation to help increase awareness and support of programs that allow aging individuals to live independently and with dignity in their own homes and communities. #CapitolHill #GoldenTriangle #Uptown #LoDo #BakerNeighborhood #LincolnPark
World Trade Center Denver
Emily Foos: Located in Denver's Central Business District, the World Trade Center towers are two of the tallest buildings in the city. Housing numerous consulates, government & private offices, as well as the World Trade Center Denver office, these buildings serve as a hub for Denver's international community. #CapitolHill #Uptown #GoldenTriangle #LoDo
Spire
Emily Foos: According to their website, "SPIRE is Denver's best-selling high rise community." I, personally, will not be able to afford to live in one of these "exceptional and sought after" condos anytime soon (the are selling from the low $300,000s!) But I walk by here almost everyday and the SPIRE is a pretty neat looking building (the sequin looking panel is actually all individual pieces that move with even a slight breeze which makes the building sparkle in the sunlight.) They have been working on a redevelopment of the Theatre District area around this building for quite some time now, including the Denver Center for the Performing Arts Complex across the street, which connects to the Denver Convention Center a couple blocks down (the light rail train runs right through the middle, with a station underneath.) There are also a number of new restaurants within just a few blocks, and they have gone crazy builiding new 7-Elevens and Starbucks nearby as well (I'd have to say that, within about a mile radius, I've seen at least five to ten new 7-Elevens open in addition to the two or three already there, and there are at least two or three NEW Starbucks locations within just a couple blocks of the SPIRE building alone!) #LoDo
