"ONE MILE ABOVE THE OCEANS" a Denver Travel Page by Rich62

A GREAT BRONZE SCULPTURE OF A BALL PLAYER, DONE BY THE FAMED NEBRASKA ARTIST GEORGE LUNDEEN, LOOKS OVER THE MILE HIGH CITY. The statue stands just outside of Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies.

DEEP IN DOWNTOWN DENVER, 16th Street has been closed to automotive traffic and is now a pedestrian mall. Built at a cost of $76 million (but who's counting?), it is a mile long and features hundreds of trees, fountains plazas, outdoor cafes, and so on. Its called the best people-watching spot in the city.

(The photo was taken on a Sunday morning when shops were not yet open. Otherwise the street would be filled with people.)

THIS IS THE LARGEST PERFORMING ARTS CENTER UNDER ONE ROOF IN THE UNITED STATES. It is located just two blocks from the redeveloped "Larimer Square" area. Within are ten theaters with over 10,000 seats, the second highest seating capacity in the U.S.
