Urban legend holds that a tunnel once connected The Brown Palace Hotel with the historic Navarre building across the street. It is rumored that gentlemen staying at the hotel traveled discreetly by rail car through the tunnel to the Navarre, a one-time house of gambling and prostitution.

The Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD)
In 1988, greater Denver metropolitan area voters created the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District to provide a consistent source of unrestricted funding to scientific and cultural organizations. Since then, the SCFD has funded over 300 organizations via the 0.1% retail sales and use tax (a penny on every $10). And the SCFD is a great value! In 2000, the average per capita SCFD tax collection was $14.58.
The SCFD facilitates the annual distribution of $38 million in tax funds to organizations that provide for the enlightenment and entertainment of the public through the production, preservation, exhibition, advancement or preservation of art, music, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history or cultural history.
