My late-August jaunt was such a flash trip to Denver that I didn't have time to hit my favorite haunts, most of which are located in LoDo, Denver's historic Lower Downtown, a 26-block area between the main part of downtown and Union Station.

When possible, I like to step into the lobby at The Oxford Hotel and breathe in its wonderful western flair; it always leaves me imagining how easterners felt arriving here a hundred years ago. "It's an example of authenticity," says Dana Crawford , referring to this handsome space filled with distinguishing features such as a large marble reception desk, brass lamps and artwork in the spirit of the West. As one of our country's leading preservationists, Dana was not only the driving force behind the restoration of The Oxford Hotel, but she has also been pivotal in the entire revitalization of LoDo, a project that began in the fifties with Larimer Square and continues today with the billion dollar development of light rail coming to Union Station and the restoration of this landmark site. It is largely thanks to Dana that LoDo became one of the most handsome and historic revitalized areas of America.
