So what is there to look forward to? Well, apart from the obvious rich cultural diversity, several restaurants stand out. And just because we’re tow truck drivers doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some fine dining! Typically if we’re in LoDo we’re towing a vehicle or fixing a flat a not enjoying international dining. But that doesn’t mean that the team at Trolling Towing of LoDo doesn’t know a thing or two about great eats!
