9NEWS' 1994 documentary on Colfax Avenue

Ahead of Gary Shapiro's retirement, he is looking back at some of the most memorable specials he did while at 9NEWS.

From Gary:
"Colfax Avenue has been called the longest main street in America. It’s actually Highway 40, which is how people traveled from the east coast to the west coast in this country before the Interstates were built.

Now it’s a quirky, artistic, classic, crime-riddled street, and there’s nothing else like it. Stretching from farm fields east of the metro area, Colfax takes us through Aurora, into Denver, past the State Capitol, through Lakewood and out to the foothills.

In between there is a lot of history, excitement, nostalgia and neon. Once again, I worked with some awesome photojournalists to document life and death on Colfax Avenue."
