Bree Davies grew up in Denver, and is about the same age as the 16th Street Mall — which means she spent plenty of time on it as a teen.

What is it about the 16th Street Mall that inspires such sentiments. Is it still a teenage wasteland? Post your comments below, or join the conversation already under way here.
