re: How would you rate Denver?

Spent a couple weeks there via a couple business trips. I mean, the Denver area itself is brown, flat, and treeless. The Rockies look nice in the distance but the metro itself is extremely boring to look at.

The people gave off a very strange vibe. Ya'll give me shite for being some sort of commie....that city was soaking with pretentiousness, "weirdness", and arrogant younger folks. Like Portland, OR, has a lot of "weird" people, but there's no sense of pretentiousness there...they're just weird. Denver gave off an ingenuine weirdness...like "look at me!" kind of vibes.

Great beer, food, and weed, obviously. Ton of stuff to do in the mountains. Not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal for some folks.
