Venue

Old Town, Second Avenue

The brick and false-front commercial block from the railroad period, walkable end to end in about ten minutes, and still where the community gathers.

The Niwot Tribune false-front building on Second Avenue with a grand piano on the sidewalk

The two blocks of Second Avenue are the reason Niwot feels like a town rather than a subdivision. The brick and false-front buildings went up to serve the farms and the trains in the late 1800s and were kept rather than replaced; the Niwot Tribune building is the survivor that anchors the block. Sidewalks are continuous and the cross streets short. Park once, anywhere along the avenue, and walk.
