Centennial Statehouse: Colorado’s Greatest Treasure, a new film by Havey Productions, will premiere at 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 at the Colorado Convention Center during the 2012 Saving Places Conference. “Our State Capitol is an iconic symbol reflecting the past, present and future of all Coloradans,” Director Jim Havey said. “This film takes you behind the scenes and tells the stories of the people who built the building and the building that built the State.

Union Station Surface Lots Close

As of Tuesday, January 3rd, the two surface parking lots flanking the front of Union Station are closed.

While this may have whipped some into a frenzy of parking hysteria (click here for pessimistic LoDo parking propaganda) there are plenty of alternatives.

While there is the parking meter, there are also 44,000 off-street parking spaces available in Downtown Denver, including these closest-to-Union-Station options:

§ 1615 18th Street (LoDo Garage)
§ 16th & Wazee (Mercantile Lot)
§ 1899 Wynkoop Street (Garage Parking)

Also, many restaurants and hotels offer valet service, and there are taxi stands located at each hotel.
