The Platte River Valley



When I first moved to Denver, the Platte River Valley was a sea of railroad tracks, dividing Lower Downtown Denver from the Lower Highlands neighborhood, which were connected by a series of viaducts. Today the viaducts are long gone, and the area  is solidly built up with apartments, condos, restaurants, bars, and shops.  And a very large Whole Foods just opened on the ground floor of a new high rise, a true sign of a neighborhood's arrival into status symbol land..  Basically, this development, along with the Ballpark neighborhood, and the Rino district, has resulted in a large population just adjacent to downtown Denver.  It guarantees that Denver will be a vibrant city for years to come.  Just bring your checkbook.
