Icons of youth

I used to go to Zang's after work. I worked in the old Rockmont Envelope building north of there for an oil investment firm named Petro Lewis.

The Eisenhower tunnel was the first one. I remember a news story where some guy drove through it just before opening so he could say he was the first one and he got $500 on a bet too. IIRC he got in trouble for that.

hit the small strip mall on Washington where the old AA meetings were held.

Remember the one that hit Broadway and Evans?

What about all the bars and nightclubs that were at the old Tivoli brewery at Auraria before the school took it over. There was a movie theater, a pretty kickin' nightclub and that bar that you would get baskets of peanuts and eat peanuts, drink beer and watch football at.

I remember the Brewery from when I went to Metro, and it was still a Brewery.

I used to ditch class and drink there

I remember going to the movies at the Tivoli. When I went to school there, the theater was still there but mostly showed independent films. One of the restaurants eventually got a liquor license and started selling beers. I guess the bar got shut down for not paying their rent. Probably not the bar you are talking about though.
