We continue our tour of Colfax Avenue ... the longest commercial street in America.

This time, we're exploring western Colfax ... between its terminus in Golden (where you'll find this oversized "Center of the World" sign) and Federal Avenue in Denver.

Our eastern-most stop on Colfax during this visit is an old one-story brick building which takes up most of the block at 3540 West Colfax, not far from Mile High/Invesco Field. The sign reads Lake Steam Baths.

It looks intriguing, so we walk inside and meet owner Hannon Hyman. We soon learn we've discovered a piece of Denver's history.

In the mid 1920's there were 13 synagogues in the area (the Colfax corridor between Wadsworth & Broadway).

Rabbis from those synagogues asked Hannon's grandfather to build some baths in the area so they might exercise health practices outlined in rabbinical law.

The Lake Steam Baths were opened in 1927 — and it's a time warp for sure. Their prices are a time warp, too: a 1-hour massage is 28 bucks. That's less than most health clubs charge for a half-hour massage.

Paleteria La Michoacana manufactures, distributes and sells a cross between a popsicle & sherbet. Paleterias are popular in Mexico and this one on Colfax in Lakewood offers authentic flavors like corn & chile, mango and rice pudding with cinnamon. Our host is owner Alberto Magallon.

This stop on Colfax in Lakewood is instantly recognizable by its huge neon sign, by the horse on the roof and by its classic aluminum lines: Davie's Chuck Wagon Diner.
