Gentrification Continues On America's Longest, Wicked Street


Colfax Avenue here in Denver continues it's steady climb to respectability.  Just recently the Lost Highway Brewing Company opened  up on the street, just across from Denver's Immaculate Conception Catholic Cathedral.  Colfax might still be America's longest street, but is no longer as wicked as it's promoters want people to believe.  The only gangs wandering it's sidewalks these days are Yuppie and Millennium types, going from bar to bar or brewpub to brewpub in search of fun.  What would Jack Kerouac think about this if he were alive today?  Not much, I suspect, but I still think he would be willing to have a beer or two anyway, just to mull it over.
