Better Block Project sets its sights on Five Points -- and Sonny
Lawson Park  Jennifer Koskinen A scene from last year's Better
Block Project. What could a fresh coat of paint, live music and
a comfortable place to enjoy a meal outdoors do for a block in
your neighborhood? Residents of Five Points could find out this
Saturday, May 11, when Denver's second Better Block project
focuses on the 2400 block of Welton Street -- home of Sonny
Lawson Park. The one-day mini-makeover of a city block will also
include dance performances, food vendors, gardening
demonstrations, walking tours and more.  Last year's edition
focused the Jefferson Park area, and the block of West 25th
Avenue where the event was held is indeed looking better. In
advance of Saturday's block party, Westword spoke with Gosia
Kung, director of WalkDenver, the organization behind the
project, about last year's success and this year's goals.  See
