Lower Downtown (or "LoDo" as the locals call it) is filled with stories of gold rushers, frontier traders, artisan laborers and hopeful entrepreneurs. The oldest neighborhood in Denver, LoDo's charming brick facades from the 1860s have found new utility in the city's economic renaissance.

Along the way, we'll find salacious speakeasies, iconic architecture, hip boutiques and my favorite bookstore in the world. This is the insider's LoDo.
