Denver Union Station 'living room' jokes

Denver Union Station was renovated and reopened in 2014 as a combined transit hub, hotel, and food hall, and locals often call it the city's 'living room.' Commentators and residents joke about the station's role as a symbol of downtown redevelopment and the concentration of trendy restaurants and shops. The site is a documented historic landmark and a frequent touchpoint in conversations about Denver's changing urban culture.
