Larimer Square touristy jokes

Larimer Square is Denver's historic block redeveloped into a cluster of restaurants, shops, and nightlife venues anchored near 14th and Larimer Streets. Residents and tour guides frequently make joking references to Larimer Square as a quintessentially 'touristy' downtown spot where locals go for special occasions. The block is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a documented focal point of downtown redevelopment. Its string lights and preserved buildings are common backdrops for local humor about downtown Denver.
