Review of Denver, Colorado


Weather
Star Rating - 6/7/2007
Denver is known to have erratic, sometimes wild weather. But that is balanced out by one of the more temperate climates in the country with lots of bright blue sky at all times of the year. In Denver there is a net gain with the weather.

Hicks? Well, maybe. If you're looking for a really urban, sophisticated city, Denver's NOT it. But the truth is that the average person is really just looking for a nice place to have a good job, good home, good neighborhood, good church, to raise their family. Denver is the ultimate "average guy" kind of town. We've thrown to glitz and glamour under the bus to make way for white bread suburbs. In other words, in Denver you don't get much culture and sophistication, but you do get a great place to raise a family. So you'll have to forgive our penchant for big SUVs with Jesus Fish emblems on back. You'll have to forgive our love of Wal Mart. You'll have to forgive our conservative tendencies. All of that makes for a liveable place for the average guy and if it means being a little 'hickish,' so be it.
