The Best City in the US

deliciousday

The city for stoners and scholars, gay rights and human rights, sun worshippers and skiers, artists and performers, beer lovers and bike riders.

Could Denver, Colorado be the best city in the United States?

  1. Red rocks is outside of Denver so we’ll say 15 minutes from the greatest concert (and high school grad venue–yep graduated at red rocks in 03) in the world. They don’t even include red rocks in the competition for best venue in the world anymore because it won everytime hands down… So they renamed it the red rocks award 🙂 and we all know exactly why no one else could ever win! Closer to the stars is awesome!! Ryan spot on and I believe my IQ went up when I finally figured out the schematics of logo vs the surrounding area. Matter of fact it’s going on future resumes from this point on. We have the 2nd biggest st patty’s day celebration in the US because we’ll it’s a another excuse to drink outside. We have one of the biggest mlb opening day celebrations in the US (again because alcohol!!!) followed probably by the biggest drop in attendance over a 3 day period that any stadium will ever see ever in the history of stadiums haha. Sold out to 4 people in 3 days lol

  2. *lodo not logo my phone is assey sometimes. This is one of those times. Lol

  3. Oops — check the spelling of opportunities in ABOUT THE DELICIOUS DAY.

  4. Version 2 is definitely in order. Another to include is that the skies are actually bluer because we’re closer.
