by tejanasueca In Denver, when you give, or get, directions people will always use the references "it's east off," "south off," etc. This is because everything is Denver is relative to the mountains, which are in the west. Hence, people expect you to always know where west is, and hence where north, east, and south is. So, just keep track of the mountains (it's not hard...unless it's REALLY dark) and you will know what people are talking about. Leave a Comment

by tejanasueca Denver is a very active and outdoorsy city. If you are not in to any of this: be it running, team sports, swimming, hiking, climbing, skiing, etc. You will usually be the odd one in the group. However, if you have never tried any of this before, but have always wanted to, Denver is the perfect place. Not only does it have the venues, i.e. big parks, sport complexes, and of course the Rocky Mountains, but you can be sure that you will always be inspired and motivated to do these things as you will for sure never do it alone. So, I dare you. If you have never been an active person, and you are going to Denver, it's the perfect situation for you to start! Leave a Comment

People in Denver as a whole have excellent personalities, I mean I wrote about this once but there is no convincing me otherwise that hands down Denver has the smartest, least pretentious, friendliest people in the country by far.. You will not find stuck-up people in Denver either, people in Denver arent the very materialistic,arrogant,stuck-up type that you will find in a lot of cities (especailly eastern ones, like the one I live in now) Leave a Comment

by rexvaughan It took a couple of these houses before it dawned on me that they have a 2 car garage and then a small 3rd one with a separate door. My daughter explained to me that the 3rd is for snowmobiles! I suspect they get used for all sorts of things and I only saw them in newer and more expensive neighborhoods. This is a new development advertising homes starting at the "mid $400s." I could use a third garage just for junk. Leave a Comment

by ScottyK Denver has four sports teams. Baseball - Colorado Rockies Basketball - Denver Nuggets Football - Denver Broncos Hockey - Colorado Avalanche Out of those four, they love hockey and football the most. If you are in Denver on a Sunday when the Broncos are playing, you're in for a treat! The city goes nuts. Try to get out to Mile High Stadium if you can. Leave a Comment

Denver is a very progressive city.... So I would say it will probubly like a coastern city than a midwestern city Denver has a very large hispanic population (growing up there it seems about half hispanic at least in the city proper) they are very nice and are very local (many of denvers hispanics lived in new mexico and colorado when it was owned by spain) Denver hispanic community is very embracing and most denver hispanic are socially liberal compared to hispanics in say chicago or texas so just something like might be informative People in Denver also are very, very friendly (by far the friendliest in the country, and the exact opposite in Rudesburg im sorry Pittsburgh,PA) you will notice it immediately so if somebody starts talking to you, talk to em, they dont want anything they just want to have a chat on the way too work or dinner or something Leave a Comment

Avoid the freeways around the Tech Center during the morning and afternoon rush hours... that area is a bottle-neck for traffic. Allow LOTS of time to drive back DIA airport due to traffic. Don't run the Yellow street lights... Denver has a camera system for abusers. Leave a Comment

Many people are disarmed by Coloradan's tendencies to be friendly. If a Coloradan smiles at you, relax and enjoy the attention. Generally, we're pretty laid back here. Leave a Comment

The Denver Museum of Nature and Science has great exhibits about animals from all over the world and the history of the Native Americans. It's located directly beside the Zoo and a nice park. All those three things are worth to see. Leave a Comment
