Levee murals, Denver Colorado.


The City of Denver has revitalized Lower Downtown Denver ("LoDo") into an area which has become a hot district of the city.  Much of that revitalization involved redeveloping what had been an industrial area into a mixed residential urban district.


Everything depicted here, demonstrates that.

This area was once a very industrial area separating the Denver Heights from Downtown Denver, and it was all pretty gritty in some ways, although the Heights itself had been residential throughout.  Now, it's all redone.


Included in the redoing were these efforts at murals.  I can't say I regard them as a success, frankly, but the project is ongoing.
