Shopping
Not far (5 miles or so) north of us is the town of Arvada. Old Town Arvada is just that - the original business district of Arvada. It's a fun area to walk around, exploring the old architecture and checking out what the businesses are now. Unique shops, galleries and eateries abound. One of my favorites is the Old Schoolhouse - yep, a lunch spot in the old school.
