Apart from the amusement park on the other side of the lake Lakeside is fairly small. A few other restaurants and then the stores here at Lakeside center. Molly's is great if you've never been. Kind of like Argonaut or Apple Jacks if you know those local stores. Lots of parking all around even when the stores get busy. Just make sure you go the posted speed limit. Police hanging around as mentioned before and they will write your a ticket. Not much to do so they hang around this parking lot bored.

Lakeside Center used to be a mall which at one point and time according to an 'ex' of mine was a…read morecool place to go to. By the time I moved to Arvada that time has long since passed by. I don't even know if there were shops where the main mall area was to tell you the truth. If there was they were useless stores and did not make an impression on me. The only store that I do remember there was a Target store. It was so old it was best called a Targhetto store. Very small, about the same amount of merchandise as compared to the other Targets only you were reminded where you were and it totally sucked! A couple of weeks ago I was in this area and most if not all of Lakeside Center looked like it was getting torn down. Goodbye to an eyesore! How about putting a nice open space park here now since they finally gave this place the axe, which it needed a long time ago!

Pizza (Papa John's), sushi, a bar (Bout Time Pub and Grub), and a breakfast spot are adjacent. They also have a Burger King and a Taco Bell. A Chase Bank, a gym, Big Lots, a massage place, a 7-11, a liquor store, King Soopers also with a gas station, and J's Cafe (Chinese) rounds out the area. Basically one big parking lot with several stores around the outside perimeter. No real lanes or arrows in or out so watch where you park and drive. Some people will drive 35 through the parking lot so that's something to be careful of. Otherwise it's like any other strip mall in the area.

If you're seeing this review or location you're probably already familiar. Maybe you love the First Watch modding meditation juice. Maybe you get crafty at Michael's. Maybe you're curious what exists adjacent from the nearby Costco? Or maybe you just look for listings for anything local on Yelp like I do. Lots of parking here. Almost too much per each business really. It'll get tough the closer you are to the business depending on popularity but that can be said for anywhere. Lots of people roll quickly through the area so watch your blind spots! I think they'll add more stores in here as business returns and Covid restrictions lessen. Most of the stores here have been around for a good while though so it's already a good location. Something for everyone from shopping to food and hobbies.

It continues to present regular art exhibitions, but also offers all sorts of intimate musical events, fashion, lectures, poetry, book launches, and use as a charming event space. The building dates to the 1890s and has served many functions including a flower shop, a yoga studio, the first location of Denver Free University, and a photography studio. It's conveniently located in the heart of the Uptown neighborhood. Parking can be a little tricky, but there is usually a spot to find within a block or two and if you've got parking karma--right in front. I'd call the art that Leon presents eclectic. Some of it I like, some I hate, but it's always thought-provoking and occasionally inspiring. Leon tries to find emerging and underrepresented artists, but also provides a space for established artists to experiment in a way that's difficult at more commercial galleries. Leon's motto is, "Outliers Change the World," and long-time director, Eric Nord, strives to do that. Leon is an interesting part of the Denver arts scene and is worth many visits.
