Marijuana advocates want to rebrand a stretch of South Broadway — commonly known as Antique Row — as the Green Mile. (Andy Cross, The Denver Post)
Re: “Branding South Broadway the Green Mile is a bad idea,” Nov. 8 editorial.
It is with significant smirkiness that I see The Postap powers-that-be frowning upon the concept of South Broadway’s Green Mile. How narrow-minded! Maybe South Broadway is not actually known as Antique Row. And maybe the owners of all the moribund antique shops on this recently revitalized stretch would benefit greatly from a joint (no pun intended, I swear) marketing effort that might just bring thousands of new customers to the area.
Just because someone wants to visit a “green” shop does not exclude them from antique shopping as well. This looks to me to be a golden opportunity for both camps.
