    Love this site. Love that Colfax is getting love. I think of Colfax as a sweet sister gone a bit wild. She's got her ups and her downs. Sometimes she's beautiful, other times she's just like any other dirty blvd. But she's home. She's my home and I love her.

    Need help identifying old man or clown bust open type penny bank from this drug store. Phone number was TA-2323. Bank had to be busted to get money out. This one was never busted.

    I just moved a half block off of Colfax Street and have fallen in love with it, the neighborhoods and people! I had been wondering about the history of the area and enjoyed your interview with CPR! Thanks for all the work you have done to preserve history! I am now on the hunt for anything Colfax and will happily donate it to your future museum! Best of luck and keep up the great work!

    Bringing back great memories. Lived in Lakewood just off Garrison. I worked as a "bag boy" at the first "super market" in Denver called Conns SuperMart. It was near Carr on Colfax.

    This is really cool. I lived all over mostly Aurora and a little bit of Denver from 1981 - 1985. I remember walking past of most these motels and stayed in a few of them. I worked for two of them as a maid: The Holiday Inn and the Blue Spruce. The Blue Spruce was a total dive at the time. I remember all the unique shops and stores. I ate at the Apple Tree Shanty. The food was delicious, but for some reason I felt sick that day, so when we left the restaurant, the food did not stay down for very long. LOL
