This South Boulder shopping center has undergone a major renovation in the last year. It was quite…read morethe place to shop out of the downtown Boulder area back in the 1980's but in the last two decades it had lost many of its traditional tenants. As the vacancies were remedied by upstart south Boulder branches of several popular eateries and a major grocery along with the relocation of a few other businesses, it began to fill up. And then the Center itself began a major remodel a year ago. Redesigned parking, landscaping, sidewalks, entrances etc and it is now mostly done. I find myself using this shopping center much more again. Under the Sun, Pharmaca, Sweet Cow, Shuttles, Spindles and Skeins, the venerable Weaver's Dive and Travel and Neptune Mountaineering. And the brand new branch of Moe's Bagels and at this time of year, a convenient H & R Block. I see lots of patrons at Southern Sun, Walnut Cafe Southside, Murphys South, Snarfs, Play it Again Sports and of course, the big new Luckys. I am glad to see this renovation. I used this center a lot back in the 80's when there was a family owned bookstore, a children's clothing store, a mini department store (Eakers), a Hallmark Card shop, a Baskin Robbins, etc. It looks so good again. I will certainly be shopping here as there are now so many nice options.

Funky funky building (and by that I do not mean that it smells). Found myself here on several…read moreoccasions, certainly not the easiest place to locate in town. Nestled behind the Sussex One building (visible from 30th) has its own parking garage. To note there are 3-4 spots outside the garage for oversize vehicles. Think the garage has marred many a roof rack in its day (I've seen at least one car try to squeeze through). The entrance to get into the building is also in the garage so if you are on foot or on bike be sure to head straight inside. There are several bike racks peppered around the garage just be sure to remember your lock. When you enter the building at the garage level you'll find a list of businesses & locations as well as an elevator should you choose to forego the stairs. On the 2nd floor is a very interesting garden which was designed by the architect in the 70's (met a friend of his today in fact). There are bathrooms on both the 2nd (northwest side of building near the hair salon) and 3rd floor (in the north east corner). The businesses contained within vary quite a bit. From physical therapists, counselors, Pilates studio, publishers, healers (various massage and acupuncturists), fishing company, hair salon, and background check services. The vending machine also offers quite a selection (you'll pass it on your way to the bathroom on the 2nd floor). Loads of ordinary cookies and crackers as well as $2.50 Justin's' peanut butter cups, cans of Yerba mate, coconut water, and my favorite unique item a salmon lunch kit (no, I have and will not be trying this). If you find yourself there at lunch you may find yourself a bit out of luck if you have to hear something up or want to wash a dish or two as there is no communal kitchen area. Interesting place worth checking out, particularly if you are looking for a healer (I recommend Mind Body Wisdom).

This is a small, conveniently located outdoor shopping center with lots of parking. It includes:…read moreAtlas Valley Purveyors, a small grocery that is mostly a liquor store; Jeannot's, a French patisserie; Brewing Market, a coffee shop; Struttin' Pup, pet supplies; PostNet; Joinus dry cleaner; Ninety-Fifth Street Spa and Salon; Smashburger; several more restaurants; some specialized shops and services; and some professional offices. There are probably about 20 businesses altogether. There's no directory, unfortunately, either on-site or on-line; most of the businesses have addresses of 2770 Arapahoe Road or 2770 Dagny Way. The center is also next to the YMCA at 2800 Dagny Way. Forest Part Village is another small shopping center just across 95th Street that also has a good selection of stores, restaurants, and services.

I've been to Denver a number of times but this was my first time going to Cherry Creek! What a…read morepleasant surprise. This neighborhood felt clean and upscale with plenty of great shopping and restaurants. When I asked ChatGPT to compare it to a San Diego neighborhood, it said Encinitas or La Jolla (if that reference point means anything to you). The area itself encompasses around 16 blocks filled with lots to do. We stayed at the Jacquard Hotel, which is part of the Marriott family. It was a lovely stay with a great lobby restaurant, Narrative and rooftop pool and bar. We enjoyed shopping at the mall as well as at the shops that line the streets. In terms of food, Quality Italian was our favorite for dinner and we enjoyed Little Man Ice Cream!

It's time for an update. Rather than focus on parking which continues to be a problem, let's focus…read moreon activity. The premier living and shopping area of Denver is absolutely going through gentrification. Very nice single-story and two-story retail buildings are being torn down in order to provide more office buildings, apartment buildings and condominiums as well as lots more retail shops, spas , beauty salons and pricey restaurants and bars. Of course, it adds and brings thousands of people to the area, but with little hope of avoiding congestion. The city continues to express its desire that people visit using public transportation, but, of course, there are no trains, subways, or, rapid transit of any make, style or kind. For those who dare to bicycle into Cherry Creek North, be sure that your health insurance is paid up. So what's Cherry Creek North starting to look like, you guessed it, a mini Metropolitan downtown. Yet, it remains the place to shop and eat and walk among lots and lots of beautiful people who seem to own lots of dogs. Once the next door Cherry Creek West Neighborhood becomes developed it will add several thousand more people into the area. It remains Beverly Hills without the large green frontages, mostly big homes and beautiful landscaping, but, instead, a visitors' delight with high end homes and pricey apartments and high end retail shopping.
