While at Coors Field today, I saw this. At first, I thought it was a guy sleeping next to the electrical box on the concrete platform. I wasn't in the mood today to go see for sure, but I don't doubt it.
Please be careful when walking through these areas, because they have the ponential to be dangerous. All the times I have been to Denver, I never was approached, but I still play it safe. Leave a Comment

 March 2003 Snowstorm by tejanasuecaLeave a Comment

About once a year Denver airport (locally referred to as DIA) closes due to bad weather (usually snow). In March 2003 Denver got 4ft/1.5m of snow and was closed for 60 hours.
Sometimes when the airport is closed for long periods of time the restaurants and stores run low on supplies. If you take medication or have a baby/toddler with extra needs (diapers) be sure to carry some extras during the winter so you don't get stuck without whatever you need. Going to the supermarket isn't really an option as the closest one is abt 10mi/15km away, and the main road in and out of the airport is usually closed when conditons get bad.
The airport does have a large supply of cots for stranded passengers to sleep on. Leave a Comment

Denver:
-People are very nice too your face, but drive very rude and tailgate.
-People drive fast when the interstate system isnt clogged up so if you drive less than 85 through Denver you may get your bumper hit
-LIGHT RAIL TRAINS RUN EVERY 3 MINUTES, SO DONT WALK ON THE TRACKS IF A TRAIN IS VISIBLE, THEY DO BY PASS STOPS ON EXPRESS ROUTES
Crime concerns: Denver city doesnt have inner city problems, so it is very safe (even if it looks run-down its mostly show and tell for the yuppies)
Only area of concern along east colfax between Tamarac on the eastern edge of Denver to Peoria and northward to around 46th (this area isnt that bad, just at night could be maybe, somewhat unsafe) during the day all of the denver metro is safe Leave a Comment

It was a sunny, temp 50f, and I settled down to watch the St. Patrick's Day Parade on a beautiful morning in Denver. A few hours later, back in my hotel room, OUCH!!! I got a nasty sunburn, right on top of my head.
It hit me out of the blue, and I realized: the "Mile High City" is close to the sun-even on a cool day, you could very well get a sunburn. Have some sunscreen and a hat handy, even when the weather isn't warm. Especially if you have fair skin like me-you'll need it. Leave a Comment

The three most important things you will need when you travel around this city are:
1. Water. Its a Mile High here and dry. Drink plenty of water. For every alcoholic beverage, drink some water.
2. Use Sunscreen. You're closer to the sun here; and we have a lot of sunshine so those rays can get you no matter what.
3. Learn to wear layers, especially in the evening or mountains. The weather is unpredictable, so be prepared. Leave a Comment

Car and Radio theft are rampant here, just probably like any big city. They steal, rental cars, radios, and anything they can get their hands on so do yourself a favor, and don't leave ANYTHING in your car. I have had my jeep stolen (at the gas pump), my radio stolen 3 times.......all in the last year. I got the car back but gave up on the radio,,,,,,now i drive with and I Pod! Leave a Comment

Beware. People here drive like idiots. The left lane is the slow lane.....actually every lane is the slow lane. And honking doesn't help.
In Boulder, beware of the freaks......rich hippies that drive beamers and beg for money on their days off from smoking pot. Do I sound bitter? Maybe a little Leave a Comment
