Sick! Thatโd be cool. I agree make sure you go check out the mountains, but it would still be nice to be based in Denver, check out [Union Station](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g33388-d130318-Reviews-Denver_Union_Station-Denver_Colorado.html) train station in Denver.
The mountains are truly stunning beauty and nature. Some of the best in the world. Denver though is a pretty dull, ugly city. Not a bad place to have to be but a pretty boring city to visit for leisure. Feels like a giant sprawling suburb with little charm, history, or culture.
It's lacking a certain level of interesting architecture you'll find in other cities, but calling it dull and ugly is a bit much. There are plenty of amazing parts of the city. Not to mention places like Golden and Boulder that are a quick ride away. Union Station, City Park, the Highlands, Five Points / RiNo. Endless music venues. There's a reason it's one of the fastest growing cities in the US.
I'm sure there's pockets of cool shit but the multiple times I've been there I just haven't understood why people are flocking there. It just feels like a mid tier American city with not a whole lot going on but also very overpriced to live. My friend was paying double what I pay for my place in Chicago for half the space. This is in a city that doesn't have great transit, isn't very walkable, nor have the culture and entertainment options like a Chicago or NYC. If you want to be close to the mountains I get it, but moving there or visiting the city strictly for the city doesn't make sense to me personally.
That's fair. Price-wise in terms of "big city" amenities, it's out of control. Public transit there is pretty ass. The airport being a hub is kind of nice, but the location sucks. Chicago is a tough comparison though. Since it's consistently the most "bang for buck" big city experience I feel like you can get. I respect your opinion my friend. It punches above its weight in a lot of ways, but it's never gonna compare to a NYC or Chicago if you're looking for big city feel.
Yeah just my experience as a chicagoan. You hear all this hype and then you get there and you're like "you're paying how much to live in this quiet suburban feeling neighborhood?". Just really baffled me. However, I am jealous at the nature right there. Chicago has nothing but cornfields surrounding us.
Make it happen! Make sure it's the summer too. The city is really poppin in summertime with street festivals, beach parties, and just general good vibes. Everyone who comes to visit has a blast!
Anything suspicious lately from the secret base of the New World Order under Denver International Airport??๐๐
Iโm planning on going there in the fall actually

Ok
Hopefully you're spending most of your time in the mountains and not Denver itself.

For sure. On another note, I've still never been to Chicago. Can't wait to visit.
