Wheat Ridge Lanes
Matthew Lopez: #wheatridge I was not expecting a car show when I drove up to Wheat Ridge Lanes today. In fact the whole experience was not what I was expecting. The front of this place has an outdoor patio, and has a pub feel. You walk in the front door and you enter the bar, not the bowling alley as expected. If you want to bowl, you need to go through the side door. The bowling alley has 12 lanes, and events are posted on their website.
Pietra's Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant
Matthew Lopez: #wheatridge This is considered by many to be the be the Best Pizza in the area. By my standards, its pretty good. The pizzeria has been in the same place for many years. It's in a small strip mall, but is an institution in the area. If you are ever in doubt, where to find this place, the parking lot is usually filled to capacity.
Mount Olivet Cemetery
Matthew Lopez: #wheatridge Mt Olivet is a cemetery in West Wheat Ridge. Like many cemeteries it does have it famous interments. This is the Grave of H.A.W. Tabor and his Wife Baby Doe Tabor, both are well known in Colorado History. Tabor was a Silver magnet, he caused wild controversy when he divorced his wife to marry Baby Doe. The rest is Colorado Legend.
Platte River Greenway
Matthew Lopez: #overland The Platte River Greenway marks the West Border of the Overland Neighborhood. The Greenway follows the entire Platte River within the City of Denver, as well as neighboring suburbs. It is a place that not seen by many visitors to Denver. It's a great place to cycle, jog or walk.
RTD Light Rail Evans Station
Matthew Lopez: #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.
Walking Raven
Matthew Lopez: #overland Colorado legalized Medical Marijuana several years ago, as a result we have the Medical Marijuana shops all over the State. There is a huge concentration of of shops along the South Broadway corridor, which is the eastern boundary of Overland. Walking Raven is just one of many shops in the area.
Bill's Sports Collectibles
Matthew Lopez: #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.
bookbar
Matthew Lopez: #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.
