ON tHE StREEtScene( )

after spending a quiet day in congress park, you’ll probably forget that this neighborhood is tucked between some of Denver’s busiest thoroughfares (Colfax Avenue, York Street, and Colorado

Boulevard). Century-old homes line the streets, thirtysomething professionals work out of coffeeshops, and jogging strollers outnumber cars. It’s urban bucolic. Even better? The local businesses keep up the chilled-out-but-hip vibe, especially at the quaint commercial area around 12th Avenue and Madison Street. —SARAH RUmPLE
