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.
Breakfast King
Matthew Lopez: #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.
Walking Raven

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.
