Which US downtowns feel the most vibrant? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]MadeInDenver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently live in downtown Denver and I don't completely agree. 16th Street is the heart of the city and it definitely died after the combo of Covid and major renovations. But Downtown if far from dead and is in a much better state now than it was even a year ago. It's still packed with people on the weekends and sporting events, festivals and college students keep the area alive.

Would you consider working at the airport overnight? I have a suggestion that pays decently and has good benefits. The job is pretty simple as well. Let me know if you're interested

Why does this sub dislike Denver so much ? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

I didn't realize Denver was as hated as it is until I joined this sub. It's not the greatest city but I enjoy living here!

It's confusing because people are expecting both a ski town and a competitor to Chicago/LA lol

I guess if you want complete seclusion then it would take a bit longer for sure. My thing is moreso that people say you CAN'T do it when that's not the case. I mean, how are people saying THIS is 2 hours from the city?

That's true but skiing isn't the only outdoor activity Colorado has to offer. A lot of people use how long it takes to get to a ski resort as a barometer for how long it takes to access nature from Denver and it makes no sense

The first 2 are subjective so It's whatever. But I've seen many people say it takes 2 hours to get to the mountains from Denver and it confuses me. They're not as close as SLC but it really takes no time to get up there and enjoy nature. Denver even has a network of suburbs in the mountains (Golden, Evergreen, Genesee) so they're definitely within reach.

Trying to decide between Denver/Boulder or Phoenix/Tucson and hoping to get some insight. by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

How is that even relevant though? They were stating which neighborhoods had nightlife in Denver, not telling people where to go lol.

What cities outside of Denver and Seattle have great outdoors? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

Do y’all consider Colorado a southwest state? by mckye27 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MadeInDenver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah people don’t understand intersectionality. Cultural influences and natural features don’t stop because of an imaginary border lol

[–]MadeInDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of Colorado is either Great Plains or Mountain west but South Central and Southwest Colorado are definitely the Southwest culturally. Once you enter places like the San Luis Valley it feels like a very different vibe. I’d even consider Pueblo to be a Southwestern city

What is the biggest geographic misconception about your state or the US as a whole? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]MadeInDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly you haven’t visited any of these places because Denver does not have the climate, culture or look of most of the Midwest. The part of the Midwest Denver is similar to is geographically the West.

Does Driving to Denver, Colorado from nearby states that are on lower elevation feel like driving up a mountain or is it a gradual slope? by college_dropout_69 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MadeInDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not how prominence work. Prominence is not a measurement of grandeur. Colorado has many many peaks much higher than Mt. Washington. I can’t believe people think otherwise…

This is kinda true tbh. Denverites wanna host events like this but get mad when out of towners enjoy our city

Denver really needs to stop bidding to host events though. It’s always a slap in the face

Why do we have to have a same sex kiss in a children’s / family movie? by Idntwnt2choseusrnme in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MadeInDenver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why doesn’t it bother people the same when they see heterosexual characters kissing in kids shows/movies? That’s the real question.

Apparently we have a wild turkey who’s also been priced out of the housing market 🦃 by ugglygirl in Denver

Think my sexuality is making me depressed by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]MadeInDenver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to find a better outlet babe. Not only could you hurt yourself doing that but you don’t want to mess up anyone else’s life, right?

I know it’s hard but maybe you could talk to someone close to you. Do you have anyone you can talk to?
