Denver

Stoners and high rises. State surplus from mj sales but they build a toll lane instead of a hov lane. Co is unregulated capitalism on a grad scale. Inequality is growing fast. Middle class non existent. Broke stoners tweakers and students mixed with rich.
Too bad because the mountains and sun and air is nice.
Fast becoming overpopulated as well. Considering the Auraria campus houses 42k students they have ONE library. And it is open concept so there is no quiet space. Public library the same way. No decent place to study unless you can afford for profit study spaces.
If you bought your house before this year you are lucky. If not your done for.

Love the New England hate! «It it ain’t Boston, it ain’t cool!» Grow up.
Best city in the country. Fresh air, close to the mountains, amazing people, revenue from marijuana goes directly to education, and it isn’t some insanely-​crowded and rude metropolis.
There is a reason Denver is one of the fastest-​growing, and most-​economically-​thriving cities in the country.

It is all personal preference. Not much else to say

For a moment I felt sorry for Don E… It can really hard to find out the city in which you live sucks. But then I think of how he attacks the character of people from the East Coast.
*** New Review For Denver ***
Man do I wish I could move back! I miss the idiot transplants from Canada like Don E. The night life is so hot. Hottest clubs in Denver are Pepsi Center, Sports Authority Field, and Coors Field. What makes these clubs so great, nobody goes to watch the sports just to get blackout drunk and party like frat boys. For the record Pats better then Broncos, Celtics better then Nuggets, Red Sox swept the pebbles in the 07 series… You don’t even mention the Avalanche? They are the only team in Colorado that I respect, for the most part all hockey fans are smart and actually go to watch the game. And yes an EPIC City, probably #1 If you don’t count any other city in the United States of America. Denver isn’t even the best city in that poor state. If you visit be sure to check out the few good spots like cherry cricket, buckhorn exchange before they are gone like Duffys among others. And yes… Massachusetts is as flat as your wife’s chest so when I want to go snowboarding I’ll choose Vermont. Thanks Don but I think you and your pals Burns and McNeil should head back to Canada.

Denver is a one horse town and if you have no business here you best be a scootin’! Seriously, if your not a sharp shooter or your not here to visit a downtown brothel or your not down for whiskey drinkin’ and cards at ‘The Bar’ (you’d think the owners could have named it something more original) or here for gold, by the way the sheriff ‘big bad Billy’ will take half of your gold as a «gold tax» (bunch of crap)! Just a warnin’ everyones a packin’ even old Granny!

I love this city. I have no real complaints about Denver. When I visit there’s plenty of new & exciting restaurants to try & lots of trails & parks to enjoy the outdoors. There’s such a variety of people here & things to do. It’s always a refreshing break from Alabama. I enjoy seeing such an active city filled with cyclists & runners. I’ll be back again & again. There’s so much to do in Denver, I’ll never complete it all!

One of my favorite cities to visit when away on business!
Been here a bunch of times now and still enjoy each visit. I am usually at a trade show in the terrific convention center downtown, and then off to a good restaurant, delicious craft beer bar, or even taking in a Colorado Rockies baseball game. You don’t need a car if staying in the downtown area as everything is walkable or there is a free bus to take along the 16^th Street Mall that leads to some cool parts of town. Great if bar hopping! There is just so much to do here, especially if you are an outdoorsy type of person.
Awesome beer. Great bars. Tasty spots to eat at. Sunny. Nice temps. Clean. Rocky Mountain High!

Great town

Fist to the face of the jerk-​off from Boston that states «Denver is a depressing cow town, weak food, no nightlife… can’t wait to get out of here» — Hey Mike S. just because you flew across the country to meet your online wife only to find out she was your step-​sister playing a cruel joke is no reason to stomp on what is unanimously known as one of the most epic cities in America.
I’m not a native, wish I was. The fact is, most Denverites are East Coast transplants, why Mike S. Because of everything the EC doesn’t have. Such as… nice people (you are the perfect example of not-​nice Boston boy), superb weather like 4 seasons, no humidity… that is HUGE, those mountains (you EC die-​hards think if it’s taller than an office tower it’s a big mountain) and Denver has the BIG 3. Yes, Bronco’s, Nugs and Rockies and our attendance is higher than most in the leagues, that means loyalty.
Denver offers it all besides the beach and the beach can’t offer the Rocky Mountains. If you are considering visiting Denver, do it. Make sure you pay the extra few bucks to stay downtown, see a game or if it’s summer by god go see a Red Rocks concert.

I am a native and, although I am biased, think that this is the best damn city EVER! If you don’t agree with me then we can’t be friends anymore. (Just kidding a little bit). Many people think that all Colorado has to offer is mountains, and, while we do have amazing mountains, there are so many other things to do! Denver is one of the up and coming «food cities» in the US.
We also have all four seasons which is something that I love because I get bored really easily. Speaking of boredom, it is hard to achieve in this city. There are so many things to do at all times of the year. Head on over to a baseball game in the summer. The fall is perfect to get your Oktober fest on (notice my double-​fisting picture from the festival). Spring brings out the chalk art festival and winter is a nice time to check out Zoo lights.
Seriously, come check out our city. You won’t be disappointed!

I moved here about a year ago from a smaller town in Wisconsin. Things I love:
Concerts and live music, tons of it!
Lots of great restaurants
The view — blue skies, mountains, aspens
Hiking and camping
Walking places
People are friendly
There’s always something to do — sometimes too much!
Things I don’t:
Parking
The crackheads on Colfax
Ridiculous speeding and parking fines
Overall I love it here. There are lots of restaurants, bars, and concerts to go to within walking distance of where I live in Cap Hill. It’s been easy to meet new people, and there’s always something new to check out. I’ll definitely be staying for a while!

Dear Denver,
I know our relationship has not been perfect. We’ve had our share of ups and downs but I think that is all in past now and I’m very excited for our future together.
As you know, my moods can change with the weather and it’s taken me almost all of the past twelve years to acclimate to your sometimes rapidly changing conditions. It’s really true what they say: if you don’t like the weather in Colorado, wait five minutes.
Your wickedly hot and dry Summer days? I crave them.
Your comforting warm yet crisp Fall days? I love them.
Your cold and snowy Winter days? I’ve found the beauty in them.
Your snowy and slushy Spring days? Well… they still make me sad, but I’m working on it!
I absolutely adore so many things about you:
Your gorgeous views
Your spectacular clear bluebird skies
Literally hundreds of parks within your city limits
All of the bike trails that wind throughout the city
Your clean and relatively safe downtown area
Not much in the way of traffic (trust me!)
Streets that are easy to navigate (even for a directionally challenged person like me)
Your quietly burgeoning restaurant scene with emphasis on fresh, local flavors
Your many craft breweries, distilleries, and wineries
Concerts at Red Rocks
Hikes and ski slopes within easy driving distance
Your small town in a big city vibe
Your relaxed and laid-​back lifestyle
Like your natives, I now enjoy Christmas lights from Thanksgiving night to after the Stock Show ends in January, climb to a high point on the Fourth of July to watch fireworks for miles in all directions, and cross my fingers that the kids don’t have to cover up their Halloween costumes with snow gear.
I learned to ski just up the road a piece and I haven’t ridden a bike so much since I was 10. This is where I fell in love with hockey and the Broncos are my team now. This is home. So thank you, Denver, for your patience and kindness. I think you’re stuck with me for a while.
Love always,
Vicki P.

more gushing…
Come for a visit and soon you will be like me… packing ‘er up and heading west!

Man oh man do i love this city.
As someone who moved here from Utah, I was looking for a place that was like home-​surrounded by beautiful mountains, with the benefits of a big (ish) city, but more liberal, progressive and artsy.
You nailed it, D-​town. I’m proud to call you my home. I’m even convincing friends to move out.
They’ll soon fall under your spell too.

Nice place– would I come again– hell yeah plus it’s 420 friendly, lots of hippies, green/​recycling town-​but I’m not feeling the vegan thing –heck I love MEAT.
My only issue was the altitude– next time i will be prepared and since i met a hot preppy dude from the university of denver– it would be even better.
Denver has some hot sexy men gay & straight, hell my gay friends are looking forward to visiting the city with me as well.
Lots of outdoor activities as well is a plus
I’m planning my next trip now…

And I round out my Denver reviews with an ode to D-​Co.
My darling D-​Co, imma miss you boo.
I had the pleasure of staying in this great city for the better part of 5 weeks. They (THANK YOU Chipotle) put me up in a nice abode and provided me with the resources (Visa card) to eat up the town.
What I loved about you…
1. Traffic pretty much doesn’t exist here. Everywhere you go it will take you about 20 minutes.
2. Your dining scene IMPRESSED ME!
3. Dining in D-​Co is SO affordable
4. EVERYONE IS SO DARN FRIENDLY
5. Chipotle is like Starbucks in El Lay and there was one on every corner
6. Loved the architecture and all the brick houses
7. Unlike El Lay, you do road construction at appropriate times
8. Unilocal D-​Co ROCKS!
9. Sales tax here is cheaper than where I’m form so I saved a little $$ when my computer crashed and I needed to buy a new one
10. Loved how old songs in El Lay are «new» out here. I thought of Mary C. and sang out loud every time they played Fiddy and Jeremiah and I cracked up every time they played California Gurls or Bedrock on the radio
Things I did not like.
1. Why are toilet seat covers not a mandate in all restrooms???
2. The altitude KILLED my allergies
3. Mountain time is wonky and I could never seem to figure out what time my TV shows were on
Put it this way, flights to D-​Co are super affordable or The Condiments and I will pile in the RV and roadtrip it! But you better believe I will be visiting again.

Harry: I expected the Rockies to be a little rockier than this.
Lloyd: Yeah, that John Denver’s full of shit!
But seriously though fun town.
