This is Janet and I'm just back from a week in Denver. I had not been there in 10 years and I was VERY imprressed by the changes to the downtown area. They've kept many of the wonderful old buildings and turned them into lofts upstairs and added restaurants, offices, bakeries, and boutiques to the street level rooms. They have blocked off traffic for a mile of the downtown area, added seating and flower beds making it lovely for walking. No cars are allowed , but hybrid buses run every 90 SECONDS.
They are clean, stop at every corner and best of all they are FREE. Catch a bus from in front of your hotel, ride a few blocks, get off for lunch, catch the next bus, and get off at the bakery, etc. Makes for a great day of shopping. Denver can be proud of their new/old downtown. Tomorrow, I'll be writing about some of the great things to see in an area of our country that is doing its best to be green.
