East Colfax is a little slice of Southern California in the heart of Denver. Funky signage and 1960′s architecture grace this gently-gentrifying stretch of businesses offering a heady mix of liquor, loans and lounges. While visiting my sister on an early Saturday morning I grabbed my camera and headed down the street under a deep blue Colorado sky. Of course, now I have to go back and shoot all of them again when they’re lit up at night.
It’s obviously the bet seak in town.
PS: I love you.
Rawr!
This place had not only the most beautiful signage, it had the most beautiful name.
Yes, it is a drive-thru.
This place was all lit up and ready to go at 8am.
Not sure when the sign dates to, but this theater was built in 1913.
More photos of Colfax’s Googie signage and some awesome handpainted signs.
