The Future of DIA?

Santiago Calatrava a Spanish architect unveiled his plans for the proposed south terminal. This addition will include the Lightrail station that will connect DIA to Union Station downtown and a 500 room Westin hotel.

Personally I think the proposed plan looks great and compliments the current architecture at DIA. As a resident in downtown I look forward to the day I can jump on the train at Union Station and arrive at the new south terminal. To see the potential future of DIA view the video:

Free trees in the hood

Do you live in the hood? Apparantly I do. And this is good because that means we get free trees through Denver Digs!

The neighborhoods that get free trees are: Baker, Barnum, West Barnum, Chaffee Park, Clayton, Cole, Elyria-Swansia, Five Points, Globeville, Jefferson Park, Lincoln Park, NE Park Hill, Ruby Hill, Skyland, Sunnyside, Sun Valley, Valverde, Villa Park, West Colfax, Westwood and Whittier.

If you did get a tree this year, register it with the city’s Greenprint Program to work together towards the Mile High Million. You can also donate a tree to someone as a gift… which is pretty cool (trees, as it turns out, are expensive)!

Local Flavor Guide

Just saw the Local Flavor Guide to Denver’s Hot Spots & Local Shops. If you have a neighborhood to submit, now’s the time! Or, check it out for local spots in your hood. Looks like this could be a good little resource – pick one up at the Tattered Cover to check it out.

The site says:

Guides are currently available for these Denver neighborhoods:

East Colfax

Old South Gaylord

Old South Pearl

Santa Fe Arts District

Local Flavor Guides™ for the South Broadway, Berkley and Historic Uptown neighborhoods are currently in the works!

Also related, the same sponsor of the Guides launched Colorado Local First (beta) to “raise awareness about the importance of supporting local businesses, and provide resources for individuals and businesses to identify and build relationships with companies that are more local, more independent, and more sustainable.”
