Denver’s Oldest Neighborhood.
Found at the heart of Denver, LoDo is the perfect blend of nostalgia and modernity. This bustling neighborhood is home to nearly 100 restaurants, clubs, galleries, shops, and hospitality businesses, making it the perfect place to explore for residents and tourists alike. LoDo’s rich history dates back to 1858 when gold was discovered at the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek. Since then, the area has undergone a major revitalization, becoming a key link between Denver’s past and present. Today, LoDo is home to some of the finest late nineteenth and early twentieth-century commercial buildings in the American West. Whether you’re looking for a delicious meal, a night out on the town, or some unique shopping, you’ll find it all in LoDo.
We wanted to take a moment and recognize Kathy Gentry for all of her hard work and dedication to the #LoDo community! For the last 3 years Kathy has organized and managed the Earth Day cleanups as well as the monthly Cherry Creek river cleanups. She has also been a volunteer at countless LoDo events during that time as well.
Kathy is stepping down as Co-Chair of LoDo Cares so she can spend more time in the mountains. Though this is a huge loss for the LoDo community, we wish her nothing but the best! Thanks so much for everything, Kathy! You will be missed! #denver #colorado #lodocares #explorelodo #cityofdenver #downtowndenver
