- In the late 80's, they closed the highway exits to this city so that out of towners could not drive in to buy drugs and leave.

- 60 minutes said it was the "armpit of America".

- In Ready to Die, Biggie claimed it part of NY.

3. My neighbor fixes your car if you live near him without asking or charging, really weird guy. Replaced my housemate's busted starter, knocked on the door to drop off the old broken one. First time we met him.

1. Capitol Hill is probably one of the most active neighborhoods in Denver, well-known as a haven for artists and bohemians. There are numerous restaurants, clubs, bars, stores, concert venues, and other cultural amenities in the community.

2. Finally, Capitol Hill is also well-known for its crime, particularly the common use of drugs and prostitution in the neighborhood. The area around the Molly Brown House in particular is known for its open-air drug dealing, especially of crack and meth. Colfax Avenue (though not just in Capitol Hill) has a reputation as a prostitution street, with many by the hour hotels along the avenue.
