New City Park Playground design concepts released! Check 'em out!

City Park has changed a lot over the years. While its no Wash Park in terms of use it is changing from an underutilized park with the “best view in Denver” to becoming the crown jewel it was originallyl designed to be. Anyway I digress.

As a parent of two young girls and a resident of north city park I’m pumped. Here is the link for the design concepts. Construction is planned on being completed by 2013. Design Concepts Here’s a...

Denver Food Truck Kick off Party Saturday May 19 @ Taxi 1pm – 5pm

Here’s a brief video from Fox 31 news highlighting the event tomorrow night, May 19 at TAXI from 1pm – 5pm. If you’ve never heard of TAXI you are in for a treat…and you’ll be back. In my opinion TAXI is what this city is about. Creativity, Entreprenourism (spelling?), great architecture, industrial reclamation, and I could go on. And the Fodd Truck scene is great. This wil be a blast. This is why I LOVE living in the city especially North Denver....

Here is a great article from teh Denver Post from Friday. One of my clients that is buying in North City Park forwarded it to me and said “This article hits the nail on the head.
