595 S. Broadway - Denver Design District

The Denver Design District is a retail location for providers of interior design services.

Perhaps best known for the tall yellow sculpture that has been there since the 1980s, it has historically had a feeling of being separate from the rest of the area.

In the mid 2000's the site was updated with a large glass room at the corner of Broadway and Center Ave which opened up that entrance to the design center making it more connected to Broadway.

the scoop on the Webber Theater (formerly Kitty's)

The Webber Theater (formerly Kitty's)

construction permits have appeared, workers have been seen hauling material out of the building into a dumpster, a small fire broke out yesterday … all this has warmed up interest in the old Webber Theater at 119 S. Broadway, which still sports the Kitty's name though the "adult emporium" abandoned this location a couple of years ago (Pleasures, a similar business but without the "live girls", remains next door)

Former Gates Rubber Factory Denver, CO

Spanning a broad swath of land, the former Gates Rubber Factory forms almost the entirety of the Baker Neighborhood's southern end (when considering the boundaries of Broadway to the Platte, South to Mississippi). The plant was once home to a bustling rubber factory supplying tires and hoses to various industries. It's not surprising that a rubber factory of yesteryear is now home to pollution and dangerous materials along with factory structures and mechanical equipment (water tower, pipes) that provide no value to modern industry and service businesses.

According to the City of Denver, this lot is 6,250 square feet assessed at $75,000. It is zoned as I-1 which allows for a wide variety of uses.

The neighboring lots include mostly storage of construction materials and abandoned junk (junk used in the kindest possible way, I would love to own one of the gas pumps abandoned there).

According to the real estate agent for the lot:
