2 years ago, I've visited to speak at a conference.
1. Their airport is slightly bizarre. There's a giant blue statue of a horse with red eyes. It's creepy AF.
2. It's really clean and the streets are very wide open. Very little traffic.
3. Downtown Denver is a combo of old 1930's Wild Wild West, Oregon Trail looking buildings... and then there's these other buildings that are squeezed in that look like they were built in the 1970's and 80's. The architecture in Denver is really odd. You'll see a giant cabin looking building next to a mini condo development.
4. Demographics: I'd say 60% white, 30% Mexican 8% black 2% other. There are a ton of Mexicans in Denver... a TON.
5. Weed is legal and there are a ton of dispensaries and shops that cater to cannabis lovers. Almost all of it is dominated by white people.
6. People are friendly, laid back and chill. The air is a little thin (they don't call it Mile High for nothing) but it's scenic outside of the city. Beautiful mountains.
7. The black scene is hard to find but you can find it. The sisters are okay... I'll tell you this. I did kick it with this one chick at a lounge who worked for the local news outlets out there. We had a nice time that weekend. All I'll say was her ass was
… fantastic.
8. If you like to eat steaks or bison meat, they've got plenty of good choices out there.
9. There's not nearly as much to do as you would think. If you're from the east coast (NYC, Philly, DC or even ATL) you're gonna find this place boring long term.
10. If you're a weed smoker or want to get in the business somehow, you can bank!
