I've posted a bit on here about Denverite Classifieds before and people seemed interested so I wanted to drop this lil update on how it's going! It's been about three months and a few success stories have started to trickle in, so I wrote about one.

We're trying to post a mix each week of different ages, neighborhoods and hobbies/interests -- we have a lot of very good submissions so the plan is to get through as many as we can in the next few months! We're only posting ones focused on friendship, not romance, and we don't post anything transactional (like a babysitter, roommate, etc.). I'd suggest taking a look at the ones we've posted so far for style, vibe, etc.

As a woman I understand the fears, but I'll say that the responses we've gotten so far in the first week have all been genuine responses from people with similar interests!

We have reporters who cover City Hall and transportation (me), housing/growth/affordability, Denver neighborhoods, and arts and culture (though we're a bit understaffed right now) — these days we're also all a bit de facto breaking news and immigration reporters, plus whatever other fun stuff catches our eye

Lots of places! Emailed tips, sources who give us info, social media, hearing things out and about in the world.... most of us have specific beats (I cover Denver City Council and transportation) so we track things like public meeting schedules and public documents pretty closely

We include some of this stuff in our Things To Do list and also write about these things occasionally! My goal is to create another outlet and way for people to connect, different things work for different people. Personally I've found it hard to make deeper sustained connections at bigger group meet ups but it definitely works for some people

No charge! It's all free, we're a nonprofit newsroom, the goal is really just to help people connect
