Talk:LoDo, Denver

Article's Accuracy and Scope Improved

While I did not initiate this article, and am not in a position of authority to discuss redirection choices, I can say with confidence that this article has now been updated, corrected, and expanded. Hopefully, this will satisfy the concerns of the posting below, which we partially shared. Thanks from LoDo District, Inc.

Inappropriate Redirect, Confusion Between Downtown Denver and LoDo

I would strongly suggest that the Downtown Denver article should not redirect to the LoDo article, but that this should be reversed. LoDo is just one part of Downtown Denver, though many who do not live downtown refer to them synonymously. This does not change the fact that Downtown is larger than LoDo.

Those who know Downtown Denver well, including residents of Downtown, will tell you that LoDo refers to the just the lower area of Downtown from Larimer St or Lawrence St to Wynkoop St, between Spear Blvd and 23rd St. Further, the bounds given for LoDo in this article are in fact the bounds of all of Downtown Denver and the bounds of LoDo lie inside of them. The LoDo article should redirect to the Downtown Denver article where LoDo is one section of the article. Again, those familiar with downtown will explain that upper downtown (near Broadway) is very distinct from LoDo and the area between Lawrence and California is really more of a midtown or theatre district, but again distinct from LoDo.

This article looks like it was created by someone who lives in Littleton and knows Downtown Denver only as the place where the "LoDo" bars are located. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.224.11.131 (talk) 18:08, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

If that's the case, I think that we should merge LoDo, Denver into Downtown Denver. EvanS • talk |sign here 19:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

LoDo Section Expansion

Hey all, I decided to expand the LoDo section, so it is no longer a stub. If you have anything you would like to add, please do so. I would like to find out some population data on the neighborhood, but I couldn't find any. Most of the history section came from [1]. Vertigo700 18:10, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned references in LoDo, Denver

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of LoDo, Denver's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nris":

• From National Register of Historic Places: "National Register Information System". National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service. July 9, 2010.
• From Union Station (Denver, Colorado): "National Register Information System". National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service. July 9, 2010.
• From Cheesman Park, Denver: "National Register Information System". National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service. March 13, 2009.

• From Washington Park, Denver: "National Register Information System". National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service. March 15, 2006.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:27, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Wynkoop Brewing Company

The section states "The Wynkoop Brewing Company, a brewpub founded in 1988 by Colorado's 42nd Governor John Hickenlooper with partners Russell Schehrer, Mark Schiffler, and Jerry Williams,", and references a small portion of an unsourced article from the Denver Post which states: "The brewery, founded in 1988 by Mayor John Hickenlooper".

However, research into the Colorado Secretary of States' business database shows that the The Wynkoop Brewing Company was registered under d.b.a. WYNKOOP, LTD., which was registered as a partnership of Dana H Crawford and Union Station Development Company. The Officers and Directors of Union Station Development Company are registered as Dana Crawford, Charles Callaway and John M Cogswell.

Nowhere are John Hickenlooper with partners Russell Schehrer, Mark Schiffler, and Jerry Williams listed in the Articles of Organization, or Certificates.

Added incorrect information in talk section above. Removed disputed tag in article. Wynkoop Brewing was originally registered as Pony Express Brewing Company.
