Once they got to Harrison, the noise was insane. As everyone was chanting his name, he gave a shy smile and a wave to the people in the stands. Once both teams had their lineups announced, their starting five players gathered around half-court. Although this was a preseason game, both teams played some of their starters because this was the first NBA game in Des Moines since 1997, so they had to show off a little bit for the crowd. Once all of the players had gotten in position, the referee launched the basketball in the air for the tipoff and the game began. The Nuggets won the tipoff, and Kenneth Faried recovered the ball. As he drove to the basket, he took a jump shot close to the hoop and banked it in. This was going to be a tough…

While the location is ideal, there are some unsavory elements. Some areas of Colfax have a bit of a reputation for selling and using drugs. While the Denver police have done a wonderful job cleaning up much of Colfax, the reputation is still worth noting because it is well-earned. Also, the nightlife can be somewhat intense on Colfax Avenue. While a lively bar scene could be considered a plus, we must work with other bars to improve to the standard of alcohol service, and work with the police to…
