"The Denver Art Museum and Coors Field may be drawing visitors to the city, but what’s causing people to live in downtown Denver is the inspired redevelopment of the original site of the city."

"In fact, what had declined into an abandoned rail yard by the South Platte River and an adjacent derelict warehouse section is now a thriving mixed-income community in short walking distance of the central business district, with a range of cultural and sports facilities, a major transit hub, and the new (1999), 30-acre Commons Park that leads to trails along the river and affords striking views of Denver’s skyline. Nice, very-Denver lifestyle!"
