What do you mean? It is a tourism promotional video. I still own real estate 3 blocks from that ice cream place so yes, it is the coolest place ever!
I saw hot dog stands and ice cream stands in that video, but no lemonade stands. Better stay back east...

Ha. Might be that old guy riding the chair with you. Never know.
Denver is a lot nicer than it was 10-15 years ago.
The microbrew scene in Denver is saturated. I expect a crash in the next couple years as people start to come to terms with the fact that they really don't like beer.
I haven't had a beer in 2+ years. It doesn't make me feel good. One by one, several of my beer drinking friends have also stopped drinking beer.
^^^ brains over beer.
yeah but there is this funny phenomenon - new people keep being born every day.Quote:

Denver, the Greeley of big cities.

"Yeah, as long as you're white."
And it's true - there is a huge diversity of white people there. If that doesn't make sense to you, you haven't lived in Colorado, or maybe have only lived in one place in CO.
700 years of human history are running you over. Beer. It's wet bread that gives you a buzz.Quote:

Are you guys really that far behind the curve along the front range?Quote:

I'll take legal weed over diversity anyday.
Don't hate us for being white, beautiful, and stoned.
Complete with the Voodoo Doughnuts...hopefully y'all don't develop the same meth-head habitat as P-TownQuote:

Funny comment up there somewhere. "Most diverse collection of white people." That's a riot. New York City laughs.
First off, you know better than to be claiming nyc..Quote:

hipster.....overload
Skylark Lounge? Gimme a fucking break, that place was empty as fuck most nights and full of some pretty boring douches (myself included). I lived a couple blocks from there.... that South Broadway zone is hipster central, but in a wannabe kind of way.
Denver is full of so many Midwest transplants that want to try soooo hard to not seem like they're from the Midwest. It seems like they either choose the hipster route or go full on nuts with trying to be a pretend mountain person. So many of the Front Rangers are gear junkies, slap a few stickers on your car & water bottle type people who, in reality, only go skiing 10 days a year and camp a couple holiday weekends over the summer.
On the good side, it's waaaay better than most other large cities, but it's still a city that seems to be trying too hard.
Right that - Approximately one-third of Denver's population consists of Hispanics or Latinos.Quote:
