Historic LoDo: Local author, historian, and former Tattered Cover staff member Mark Barnhouse will present a slideshow and sign his book Denver’s Sixteenth Street ($21.99 Arcadia). The beloved thoroughfare at the heart of Denver, Sixteenth Street has always been the Mile-HighCity’s “Main Street.” Sixteenth Street got its jump start in 1879 when Horace Austin Warner Tabor came to town and built the city’s first five-story skyscraper at the corner of Sixteenth and Larimer Streets. In the second half of the 20th century, Sixteenth Street saw major changes, including the creation of one of the most successful pedestrian malls in the country, an archetype of the power of great urban places and an inspiration to other cities, large and small.
