Re: The Duo (222 S 15 ST) formerly Central Park Plaza

It looks taller to me :thumb: On the grocery store, this addition certainly shifts the population distribution. Maybe tear down the state building and add a Hy-vee there? Only as an anchor to a larger project. I discussed this exact site when having beers with Omaha Cowboy last summer. Here's a loo...

Thanks!  I don't recall going over Sloans Lake. I had him make a beeline to downtown, do about 3 loops around,  a loop around Cherry Creek, then down to the Tech Center, then flyby DT on the way back to Rocky Mountain Airport. I'll post some more up when I can.

I'm a Braves fan, but wholeheartedly agree about Coors Field. It's a beautiful park. Rock pile tickets are $4 and if you go to the top, there are great views of the city and the mountains.
