Review of Denver, Colorado


Denver metro area
Star Rating - 11/17/2012
I have lived in the Denver metro area for almost five years after living in other states. The Denver metro area as a whole is a completely depressing place. The town is completely sports obsessed and really has nothing else to offer. The restaurants and food are horrible compared to other metro areas such as San Francisco. The neighborhoods are ugly and cookie cutter, modern looking housing. Most of the so called neighborhoods are flat out UGLY! It is no wonder that Denver is one of the drunkest towns, it is DEPRESSING!! The summers are hot and dry! I hear this crap about how it is a "DRY HEAT" and I think what a load of crap. Have you tried sticking your head in an oven, which is a dry heat? IT IS HOT!! JUST AS BAD AS THE EAST COAST!
Denver supposedly gets 300 days of sunshine per year but they never mention the subzero temperatures in Denver. We may not get much snow per year and only one or two big snowstorms per year but it is cold as hell in the winter especially in the mornings. Denver is the land of extremes as far as weather. Culturally, it is "little Mexico."

Seriously! Seriously! Living in New Mexico, I would say all your comments can be said of NM. Small, nothing to do and there is a drinking problem..etc. The weather is similar. If I would be in Colorado, I would not be any worse off. At least I will not be in a " death-spiral" State. hehe. But then again, you will always find those that say that it is all on how one sees things.
