About this episode
You know that busted old building down the street? Why does it feel like nothing’s being done about it? Turns out, there are 285 of these derelict or abandoned properties across Denver, and that number is on the rise! Westword’s Catie Cheshire has been reporting on the city’s abandoned buildings issue, and she’s on today with host Bree Davies to talk about some particularly wild stories and break down City Council’s new plan to fix the problem . We are off tomorrow for Juneteenth! So no new episode until Friday, when we’ll be back with something fun and different. Do you have an abandoned building in your neighborhood? We want to hear about it!
