This weekend and next is Oktoberfest here in Denver. The celebration is taking place on Upper Larimer Street, right near Coors Field. Not only are there brats, sauerkraut (yum!), and beer, but there are also polka bands and buskers, like the one in the photograph above. Upper Larimer was once the skid row area of Denver, but due to the proximity of Coors Field, it is slowing being gentrified. That is why you can find places such as Ignite! (Denver's current in-spot), right across the street from The Star Bar, a traditional dive that has been around since the 1950s. And both places were packed this afternoon. Coexistence has arrived at last, at least among the drinking set.
