Talk:Colfax Avenue

message: I  disagree with getting rid of mention of Colfax's notoriety as a place for prostitution and other odious activities. The way it is written now does not even really talk about crime, but rather people's impressions of crime on Colfax. Isn't that description an accurate representation of what many people think about Colfax? I think it is. By all means, add content that supports or detracts from that postition, but there are numerous articles written about Colfax's criminal reputation. If anyone else has anything to say, please do so.

message: Can the newly written sections have more citations of information, and be more neutral in point of view? It's good stuff, but not exactly matching wikipedia standards.Vertigo700 19:21, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New information 

message: Hi, thanks for the tips. Also thanks for editing it. I didnt know how to make new sections, so i am glad you did so.  Also, a lot of my info comes from confidential sources that I interviewed for a paper on the assumption that I would only use it in my paper.  Should I remove the info if the source wants to remain anonymous?

thread_title:  Fixed 

message: This article appears to have really serious Neutral Point-of-View issues.  Case in point:
Denver Urban Renewal Authority also had misbegotten attempts at what they defined as “urban renewal”. In the mistaken belief that tearing down historic buildings and replacing them with Modern Architecture and high-rise monstrosities would benefit the city, DURA bulldozed the bulk of Larimer Street in downtown. In contrast to DURA’s belief that tearing down a building makes the underclass blow away with the dust, the poor moved to the closest area of town that would have them: East Colfax.
I'd put up a "neutrality of this article is disputed" tag, but that code is a little beyond me.  I would also be happy to re-write this section, but my knowledge of the history in that part of Denver is seriously lacking.

message: It's my understanding that Colfax is the USA's longest continuous named street - can anyone confirm this? The article hints at it in the Playboy headline...

thread_title:  Longest? 

message: From the Schuyler Colfax article:
There is another Colfax Avenue in the Grant City section of Staten Island, NY, and a Colfax Avenue on Chicago's Southeast Side.  There is a Colfax St. leading up Mt. Colfax in Springdale, PA and a Colfax Avenue in Benton Harbor, MI, where the school fight song contains the phrase "of that Colfax school" because the high school is located on Colfax.
There are streets named "Colfax Avenue" in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Memphis, New York (Staten Island), as well as Colfax Streets, Lanes and Roads in other cities. This article probably should be named Colfax Avenue (Denver) or Colfax Avenue (Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area) Group29 (talk) 17:01, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Disambiguation

message: I had a little run through the links and took some out. The ones left are still pretty poor. Some decent links need to be added by someone who knows more about the area. Thanks Greggers (t • c) 20:34, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: There's not really a need for pro gentrification garbage like the following, especially when it purports to be fact without any citations:
"Colfax, between the Park Avenue intersection and York Street, is widely known as the single worst stretch of sidewalk to stroll at any hour of the day in the entire state of Colorado. Between the aggressive homeless, and the threatening drug dealers, the willfully neglected stretch is not only a blight, but a disgrace to all city officials. It has been widely speculated that the Denver police Department willingly ignores this stretch of Colfax, because they are least threatened by this constituency, and are scared of the street people, despite their authority. 
Colloquially, the arterial is referred to simply as "Colfax", a name that has become associated with prostitution, crime, and a dense concentration of liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.14.3.50 (talk) 05:58, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

message: This article is hopeless without a map. How could there not be one? I don't have the skills to put one in, but I feel like if there's one thing that should be in this article, it's a map of where Colfax ave runs. Brightnsalty (talk) 16:56, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
