My observation took place at Downtown Denver. Downtown Denver is a place to gather and a place of varied economic activities. It characterized by tall buildings and the breadth of its streets, it’s pretty much different than the other areas in Denver like Aurora or commerce city, etc... There are many business centers, markets and government institutions. The activities in downtown are different in the morning and at night. In the morning live is very fast paced and crowded with businessmen/ businesswomen and employees, but at night it will be full with people enjoying their time and life. In 16th street mall there are 42 outdoor cafes along the Mall, making it the perfect place to grab a bite to eat or have a drink. After dark, horse-drawn carriages and Pedi-cabs carry people up and down the Mall, while nearly a million lights twinkle above in the more than 200 trees that line the promenade. My observation took placed Monday morning on Feb 26th, 2018. I walked to a Starbucks around 8:00 am. I noticed that it was full of students since Auraria campus is close to downtown, the line was long everybody is waiting for their breakfast or coffee to start their day with. …show more content…

I have seen how the city is growing the as the minute passes by. Every 7 minutes new arrivals from a different destination either from another state or from a different country with different culture than the American culture. I could tell almost from each arrival patch where is each plane has came from. I’ve seen people from all corners of life from the most east to the most west and from the furthered north to the furthered south. I’ve also noticed that the DIA is the happiest place on earth while it is the saddest place on earth from

  • Downtown Eastside Gentrification Essay

    683 Words  | 2 Pages

    As the moving in of new residents filled the community with new cultures, many old life styles are slowly disappearing. This quote in document E says: “Those tired old landmarks are being replaced with market housing, trendy eateries and a whole new population that’s heard about, but has likely never seen what the Downtown Eastside was all about.” The main point in this quote is while the new things are coming into the DTES, they did not care nor preserve the old life-stye of that place. While they are building new shops and housings, they are also removing what has stayed there for a long time, the old poor and rugged culture that represented

    Another observation that I made about the customers was that most of them seemed to be dressed in professional business attire most likely stopping for coffee before work.

  • Whitehead's "The Colossus of New York"

    2601 Words  | 6 Pages

    New York City’s population is a little over 8.3 million people. 8.3 million people are spread out among five boroughs and each have their own set routine. Each one of those 8.3 million see New York in a different way becuase “You start building your private New York the first time you lay eyes on it” (“City Limits” 4). Some people are like Colson Whitehead who “was born here and thus ruined for anywhere else” (“City Limits” 3). Others may have “moved here a couple years ago for a job. Maybe [they] came here for school” (“City Limits” 3). Different reasons have brought these people together. They are grouped as New Yorkers, but many times, living in New York is their only bond. With on going changes and never ending commotion, it is hard to define New York and its inhabitants in simple terms.

    Mall appreciators argue that the malls are centers of entertainment and pleasure for mall visitors. George Lewis in “The mall as Refuge”, asserts that “kids come to look around, meet and make friends, stay away from home and hang out- because there is nowhere else to go” (1990, P. 309). He believes that teenagers go to malls to socialize and to escape from the troubles in their lives and at home. Therefore, malls serve as a second home for kids. Similarly, Lewis says that with the controlled environment of malls, with the security and the central location of malls as a good reason why many retired, and old people visit malls. Here they get to meet up with old friends, exercise, eat out, and share experiences with their old friends. These two groups as Lewis claims are misfits in society because; the world considers them as unproductive. Jon Pahl also ...

  • Analysis Of The Article ' Magic Of The Mall '

    700 Words  | 2 Pages

    Goss argues that developers and designers of the built environment, specifically shopping centers and malls, use the power of place and understanding the structural layout of the space to boost consumption of the retail profits. Shopping centers are separated from the downtown area of shopping, either by distance and/or design. These establishments emerge for many to be the new heart and location for public and social life. In his article The "Magic of the Mall": An Analysis of Form, Function, and Meaning in the Contemporary Retail Built Environment, Goss also argues that the regulation of the spaces within the mall creates an atmosphere of "community" rather than one that is "public". This article’s main argument is that developers manufacture an illusion of doing more than just shopping when designing malls and shopping centers.

  • Times Square Analysis

    The book points out that the insiders of New York architecturally designed the borough to have aesthetically pleasing lights which draw people into the city (Makagon, 2004, p.152.). Being in an aesthetically pleasing space that is described as “open” by Makagon allows for tourist to buy overpriced items almost without even realizing it (Makagon, 2004, p.153.). For example, the mouthwatering burger a five-star restaurant sells for thirty bucks, when the same burger for five dollars back at home. The genius business work in the city of Manhattan allows for the city to work the way it does, which is what Daniel Makagon attemps to convey through his book. This book would be perfect for a business class to read, so they can understand the complex behind the scenes action taken in order to make businesses (Time Square itself) work

    In the city there is always a bustle as everyone is on a mission to get from point A to point B. In a small town, one can grow up surrounded by nothing but land. However, in the city one is surrounded by an endless amount of things to do. Public transportation runs late into the night, taxis continue to pick up people, and stores remain open to cater to the night owls. In addition to the seemingly always awake city, one who lives there is constantly interacting with someone whether it's waiting in line, getting on a bus, walking down a sidewalk, or running into your neighbor one apartment over.

    Finally, the mall is a wonderful entertainment center. Not only do people go there to shop, but they also got there for relaxation. There are movies sometimes as many as fifteen or sixteen. In addition, arcades are available for children, teens and adults. Some parents drop their children off at the arcade, give them a roll of quarters and pick them up after they have completed their shopping. For the hungry shopper there is a food court, which provides fast food for those shoppers who want to relax and possibly have a cocktail with their meal, other restaurants are available.
