DTC & Centennial Airport -- PHOTO TOUR (Denver, Center: apartments, condos)

[vegaspilgrim]

This tour may be helpful to those considering moving to Denver who will most likely end up working in the Denver Tech Center, Centennial Airport area, or south I-25 corridor. Again, this is just a brief sampling; the area is actually a lot more interesting than what I have pictured.

The tour starts out on Arapahoe Rd:

Really cool, futuristic building.


No, an earthquake is not slowly toppling this over; I just had the camera tilted.


Examples of ugly one story office buildings that proliferate the Centennial Airport area. This complex is where much of the Arapahoe County services are located.


This building pretty much sums up what Centennial is all about.


Here's a neat older strip mall at Arapahoe Rd & Peoria:






This is the airport restaurant I talked about in another thread:


Family Fun Center par 3 golf course:


The rolling hills of Arapahoe Rd:


For fast food, this Texas-based chain is really good. Unfortunately they close really early.


A bad shot of a really cool strip mall. There are a few other really good ones in the Arapahoe & Dayton area, unfortunately my camera screwed up and one of them was undergoing reconstruction so there wasn't much to take a picture of.


I may be totally off here, but I believe this Arby's used to be a fast casual Mexican restaurant about ten years ago, the one I've been raving about and asking if anybody else remembers. Anybody want to back me up or have I lost my mind?


From HoHo's $1 a scoop to Phily cheesesteak joints-- the "cheesy" side of Denver's low end culinary scene.






On I-25, here's the train coming down.


Really bad picture of a really cool place, the Trail Dust Steakhouse.


There's the light rail station. What's not pictured is a giant pedestrian bridge crossing over the freeway.


Here's the Tech Center going back the other way:






High rise condos in the suburbs!


?????




More elegant DTC apartments with office buildings in the background:




I tried this place, thought it was nothing to brag about. A clone of Smash Burger, if you ask me.


Upscale dining and drinking establishment:
