Breakfast King 1 1
#overland The Breakfast King is basically a greasy spoon type restaurant. It serves basic diner food. The last time I was there, the waitress said "we need to evacuate the building. We have a kitchen emergency and the fire department is on the way. Before you leave, pay your bill." I never got to eat my grilled cheese, but they expected me to pay my bill.

Bill's Sports Collectibles 1 1
#overland Bill's once occupied just a store front shop, now it occupies the whole building. If you are a sports fan, or know a sports fan this is a MUST see. Inside you will find every imaginable, and some unimaginable, sports memorabilia anywhere. This is more like a museum, but you can buy stuff.

ARC Thrift Stores 1 1
#overland The ARC store on Broadway has been in the same location as far back as I remember. It's been one of my favorite places to create Halloween Costumes. Today, I got lucky and found a Rockies Jersey.

Allgolf Overland Golf Course 1 1
#overland I was told when I stopped by that this is the oldest golf course West of the Mississippi River. I cannot confirm that, but it does say on the sign entering the place, that it was founded in 1895. The course is mostly flat, so not a lost of strenuous hill climbs.

Old Santa Fe Pottery 1 1
#overland The shop can be seen on the West side of Santa Fe Drive. It has a large collection of New Mexican and Latin American art, furniture, rugs, spices and indoor and outdoor art. You can spend quite a bit of time seeing all they sell.

RTD Light Rail Evans Station 1 1
#overland The light rail and bus transfer hub for the area. I also offers a small Park and Ride Lot. The station sits directly under the Evans Street Bridge. It's very convenient for light rail. But I do find waiting for a bus after dark kind of dicey, there is little traffic or security and only one way out of the area. Other than that, it is convenient at most other times.

Ward/Carter Dance Studio 1 1
#berkeley The Ward/Carter Dance Studio is one of the oldest businesses in the Tennyson Street Arts District. Long before the galleries and cafes, that now dot the block, the Dance Studio was where many in the neighborhood learned to dance. It survived the neighborhood decline of the 1980s, and is here for the revitalization in the 2000s.

bookbar 1 1
#berkeley This is a combination wine bar and book store. Although the combination of books and wine makes sense, this is the first time I've ever seen it as a store front. I found the "Little Free Library"shelf, outside the front door, to be a very unique feature to the overall concept of the shop itself.

Small Batch Liquors 1 1
#berkeley As I was taking this picture a woman walked by and told me "This is the best place to buy good beer". What I saw inside was one of the most expansive selection of micro-brew and craft beer I've ever seen. I have no doubt I will find a good beer in this place.

Cozy Cottage 1 1
#berkeley The Cozy Cottage is a breakfast and lunch cafe, with a huge shade tree, that shades and keeps the outside patio cool. The cafe has converted one of Berkeley's original houses, and serves top notch meals. It has been chosen as 5280 Magazine Best Breakfast in Denver, and I don't disagree.
