Nice ’40s-era sign in Commerce City.

Deno’s 6 & 85 truck stop in Commerce City.

It started as the 6 & 85 in 1945, then updated to Deno’s in 1959,
when they put up that great sign.

Not only is it the structure at the intersection of 6 & 85, but the building itself is the intersection
of a coffee shop and a bar.

Bastien’s Steak House on Colfax has repainted their famous sign and finally changed the text board. It hadn’t changed for 35 years! Well, time moves on, but I present this slight composite to remind you what it previously looked like!

I believe the sign dates back to 1959!
