Trying to recall the name of a really good Italian restaurant in East Denver during the late 1970s. It was a few blocks south of Colfax somewhere between Peoria St. and Colorado Ave.

I'm hoping there's someone here who can help me locate photos of two restaurants from the 1960s: "Holiday Drive Inn" on Colfax and "High's Hamburgers". I don't know where in Denver HH would have been located, but I know it existed in 1962, was probably a 24 hour place or at least very late night, and quite possibly near the 1962 location of the Denver airport. I'd really love to have a photo of both of these restaurants for my 84 year father. They mean a lot to him.
