I wondered about the location. I think everybody riding a sugar high with downtown. Maybe that's appropriate though?
If you compare Elitches to the kind of park that could be built on 300 acres then it clearly pales by comparison. But if you compare it to options near downtown then it's great. I had somebody tell me once how much they enjoyed the Denver Zoo. If you compare it to the San Diego Zoo or Forest Park in St. Louis it pales by comparison but her point was it was an ideal size to take the kids for a day trip and it was nicely laid out. I like the points that
corey made too.
I wonder if they'd look at something like Salt Lake City's
City Creek Center for inspiration? Could it become downtown Denver's higher end retail destination?
