Denver's Colfax Avenue is the longest street in America. It was once the haunt of Jack Kerouac, and Sue Lyon - the star of the movie Lolita - once lived on West Colfax Avenue at the Big Bunny Motel for a while (this was long after her movie career ended. She even got into a fight with the landlord there and threatened to jump out the window, but since they were on the ground floor, the threat wasn't taken too seriously). In any case, Colfax is slowly but surely being gentrified. There are now many trendy bars and restaurants up and down the avenue, and even Smiley's, the giant 24 hour laundromat, has been purchased by a developer for a new project. However, I am happy to report - for all you nostalgia fans - that there are still plenty of seedy areas left. Enjoy!
