  • Early morning drive in around Downtown Denver before heading into the Colorado Rockies.
    Starting Point: goo.gl/maps/mu...
    Denver, the capital of Colorado, is an American metropolis dating to the Old West era. Larimer Square, the city’s oldest block, features landmark 19th-century buildings. Museums include the Denver Art Museum, an ultramodern complex known for its collection of indigenous works, and the mansion of famed Titanic survivor Molly Brown. Denver is also a jumping-off point for ski resorts in the nearby Rocky Mountains.
    goo.gl/maps/TE...
    Denver is the capital and most-populous city of the U.S. state of Colorado. Denver is located in the South Platte River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. With an estimated population of 727,211 in 2019, Denver is the 19th-most populous city in the United States, the fifth-most populous state capital, and the most populous city located in the Mountain states. It is nicknamed the Mile High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5280 feet or 1609.3 meters) above sea level. The 105th meridian west of Greenwich, the longitudinal reference for the Mountain Time Zone, passes directly through Denver Union Station.
    Denver is ranked as a Beta world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. The 10-county Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2018 population of 2,932,415 and was the 19th most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area. The 12-city Denver-Aurora, CO Combined Statistical Area had an estimated 2018 population of 3,572,798 and was the 15th most populous U.S. metropolitan area. Denver is the most populous city within a 500-mile (800 km) radius and the second-most populous city in the Mountain West after Phoenix, Arizona. In 2016, Denver was named the best place to live in the United States by U.S. News & World Report.

    I was born in Denver. Still live there. So, I had to watch this trying to imagine myself as a tourist and this was my first introduction to “The Mile High City.” Couple of things for everyone to note: Denver is much prettier in the summer. Our winters aren’t as harsh as many would think but it still makes for a dull and monotone look in the winter. And, sadly, the pandemic has really hurt the economy. While we are doing much, much better than other parts of the country, the vibrancy of Denver has gone. I hope this will change once the majority of the population is vaccinated. If you are watching this and thinking about visiting when safe travel is restored, please do so. Denver is a great place to visit and to live.

      Sounds a lot like where I live in the Portland, Oregon area.
      The northwest may be known for rain but that's during the winter and spring. We have lots of warm and sunny days in the summer.
      One thing I've noticed about Denver's weather is the wild temperature swings. Sunny and warm one day, cold and snowy the next!

      @Charles Hamilton The best thing about your comment is the meticulous attention to the grammar. I recently read a paragraph-long comment on a UA-cam video with no commas, or full stops or any other punctuations. English is beautiful language when used correctly. If most people in Denver speak English like you, it must be a great place. I cannot stand the Californiesque phrases, such as "I am like" and "Be like".

    Being a NYC native for almost 30 years, watching this is a tad bit refreshing. This is slower pace and smaller scale. Denver seems like a pretty relaxing place to live. Here it's a way more quicker pace. But I'm used to it at this point. There's also way more people here. Denver looks like a ghost town in this video. Although it is covid and it depends on which time of day.

    Born in denver in 58, grew up in the 60s and 70s when people called it a cow town but frankly things were pretty great, I was a musician playing gigs 6 nights a week in clubs in the late 70s early 80s, better than a college music degree, real gig experience constantly and got paid to do it... Moved to L.A. in the 80s after touring in a rock band all over the world, got sick of L.A. crowds and came back to Denver in 97, watched the tech boom in the 90s and then the bust, was playing gigs from the Brown palace hotel to Aspen and everything in between and raising my kids...the last 7 years though have been depressing, legalized weed and everything started changing, more homelessness, drug people on the streets, rents and home prices went through the roof. I haven't played a gig since last February almost a year ago because of Covid lockdowns and the city of denver banning horn players from playing a gig...yes, the city government banned specifically horn players from doing a gig...I dont even recognize this town anymore...its a damn shame...

Has posted a budget surplus every year recorded. Aurora, Charlotte, Raleigh; Madison are some of our country's best managed cities. Apparently, Tulsa is posting a surplus.

      I see that Denver has been described above as "small" but how do you define "small". It's a relative term. Denver has the 10th largest downtown in the U.S. with more than 23 million square feet of office space (slightly smaller in area than central San Francisco and slightly larger than Houston's downtown). While it's not a mega city of 10 million, population of the consolidated metro area is in excess of 3.6 million. That is more than the entire population of Southern California in 1940, when Los Angeles was the 4th largest city in the U.S. Or, looking at it another way, it is nearly two and a half times the size of 1940's San Franciso-Oakland Bay Area, famous film-noir locale and America's 7th largest metro at the time! Like I said, it's all relative. And Denver, as a regional hub, is much more than 3.6 million. At least 4.25 million live within an hour of Denver International Airport. Another 400,000 live not much farther away. Also, it is the trade and transportation center of the Front Range Urban Corridor--population 5.25 million. And that is 750,000 more people than were in metropolitan Chicago in 1940! Not so small! See my comments elsewhere in this posting. Have a nice day.

    hopefully the $1+ billion budget deficit won't cause problems in the near future like it is in Chicago. housing here is already so dang expensive that if property tax in the greater area goes up our increased debt load will create a foreclosure crisis. remember when rent was $800 + utilities and you got working heat w/ ac and groceries were $60 per week. Now, rent is $1400 and groceries went up 80%. It's only been 5 years and we already had to increase minimum wage to $15.57. That is just to make the city affordable. Strange that TX, with all of our top 5 fastest growing cities is so cheap compared to Denver. A house at $200k in Houston/$150k in Ft Worth where per-capita GDP is $15,000 higher and then 10 year growth rate is > 40% [65% in Ft Worth alone]. I cannot even find a condo in CO now for < $225k that isn't in the ghetto. If you are lucky you might get 447 sq feet for $200k and no a/c.

      Maybe inside the Denver city area but in lakewood/Littleton it is much more affordable! Having grown up in Tampa Bay where minimum wage is 9 dollars an hour I struggled to live and was homeless for 9 months. I was paid $11 an hour cooking full time whereas now i make 17. Living in the Denver economy I am actually able to save money and have money available for other expenses I otherwise wouldn't. Also most jobs out here have full benefits, this is the first time I've had health care or pto in my life let alone pet insurance. Yes living in denver can be a bit pricey but I definitely feel that its worth it

      Texas cities also suck imo. You get what you pay for is a very true saying. Texas cities are WAY cheaper than most cities in the US (except for Austin which is the most livable one lol). The climate is terrible, the sprawl is insane, crime tends to be REALLY high, etc etc etc. Also there's affordable shit in CO, it's just outside of Denver. Denver's a fairly nice city with a high influx of people moving to it, and those people tend to have high wage jobs. It's the law of supply v demand. I've lived in GA, TN, TX and now CO. TX had the cheapest big cities. They all were miserable (don't wanna be too negative bc there were definite pros, like cost of living, but for me personally they did not outweigh the cons.) and I totally understand why it's so cheap to live in TX. GA and TN were fine but I didn't like the political climate and ATL is pricey for what you get. CO is my favorite out of any of them.
      Also not sure what budget deficit you're talking about? I'm not saying you're wrong! I just genuinely can't find any info on that specific point. There was budget shortfalls due to COVID, but CO and Denver didn't have deficits -- they balanced their budgets my cutting services (Sadly). For the state it was like $3 billion. For Denver, it was like $119m. Let me know what you're talking about with that point if you don't mind!

      @@RabidRiddinRabbits I work 80+ hours a week @ $60+k per year and a low spend. I am 33 and cannot afford a starter home in those areas. My only real option is actually a $250k condo in Cheeseman park or $180k condo in places I wouldn't touch as a kid growing up in the middle class. So no, they aren't cheaper. Hell, rent just crossed $1600 on average for the greater area. Only Pueblo is really noticeably cheaper. 25% of Pueblo lives below the poverty line and the median income is < the minimum wage for 40 hours per week. So, 50% of Pueblo lives below what the state hints at is the poverty line. The median home is still $225k there.

It grew so much that it is basically in the major cites list now. The National League of Cities includes it [not Aurora, IL] in its report on the state of cities. Since it used to be a poorer and middle class city for the most part [except South Aurora which is loaded], it inherited good fiscal sense. The only issue is the public schools are god awful. Still, most Colorado public schools don't perform well.

    It's winter, and this looks like it was shot not long ago. The leaves are all gone form the trees, downtown.
    The combination of winter weather and COVID-19 means the city doesn't bustle as much as usual.
    That said, most of the people who walk around downtown do it along the 16th Street Mall, and that's closed to private vehicle traffic.
    Another primary driver of downtown crowds is the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo, which should be going on, right now.
    However, that was canceled, this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions.
    NIce shots of LoDo, down behind Union Station. :)
    I noticed that you cut the trip back down Park Avenue West toward Broadway.
    The shots of the baseball park can be pretty nice, on the trip from that direction.
    You did manage to get one shot with a train, too.
    I wasn't sure you would -- the services to the downtown stops have been cut way back, due to the pandemic.

    While the population of the Denver-Aurora Combined Statistical Area was 3,572,798 in 2018 there is a reality about the Denver "area" that Front Range residents and outsiders, alike, seem to miss. Having lived there I discovered that many residents still consider the cities along the said "Front Range" as separate entities as there are still open spaces between them (although you are almost never out of sight of man-made structures). Truth is, the population of the Denver region is much greater than 3.6 million. The Fort Collins metro (population 350,518 in 2018) is contiguous with the Denver metro on the north. To the south, the Denver and Colorado Springs metros have a ten-mile wide designated "open space" between them, near Greenland (in Douglas county). But the metro areas are literally back to back at the Douglas-El Paso, County line. The Colorado Springs metro had a population of 738,939 in 2018. It should be noted that people living in both Fort Collins and the Springs commute to work in Denver. In fact, people are commuting in all directions from the cities along the Front Range, which meets all U.S. Census Bureau criteria necessary to qualify as a single, consolidated statistical unit. As usual, the Census Bureau is very slow in recognizing the existence of facts such as these. Simple arithmetic shows that (in 2018) the Denver-Colorado Springs-Fort Collins combined statistical area had a population of 4,662,257 (nearly equivalent to Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia). Of that number (in 2018), probably 4.25 million lived within one hour of Denver International Airport. The other 400,000 lived not much farther away. In addition, you have the satellite cities (Pueblo and Cheyenne) that bracket the Front Range Urban Corridor (2019 population 4,976,731). With additional growth, the region passed the 5 million mark before the year 2019 was over. We know there has been even more growth since 2019. And the 5 million figure can't possibly include the estimated 200,000 undocumented emigrants that live and work in the region. So, at minimum, in January 2021 the population of this urban corridor must exceed 5.25 million (roughly equivalent to Phoenix or Detroit). Personally, I know people who work in Denver during the week but have weekend homes in Pueblo (120 miles south) and Cheyenne, Wyoming (90 miles north). And Denverites wonder why the streets and highways are getting crowded. Still, they should see the traffic in Los Angeles!
