What to expect

In RiNo, you'll experience a vibrant art scene alongside Colorado's darker history. We’ll explore stories like the Sand Creek Massacre and Silas Soule's quest for truth, a 2022 shooting by a misogynist, and a kidnapping attempt involving a former Benjamin Paints employee targeting Adolph Coors III. Rhe operator will also discuss Market Street’s shady past, where over 1,000 prostitutes once worked in the largest red-light district of its time. If interested, we can cover other notable Colorado cases, including JonBenet Ramsey, Columbine, Chris Watts, James Holmes, Ted Bundy, and Jack Gilbert Graham, who infamously blew up the first U.S. commercial airliner. The tour is flexible, focusing on either true crime or history and murals, with stops for drinks and snacks along the 2-mile route
