"Blake Street in the 1400 Block where original Blake and Williams store stood in 1858. It's in the warehouse district now, mostly old ones, but still some thriving modern shops. The City has plans to renovate the whole Downtown Denver District; rebuild a lot of it and redeem the area for tax purposes, as adjoining sections now constitute the old "red light" district; they want to get it back uphill."
