I've been living in Metro Denver for about over a year and half now. Before that, I was living in a suburb about an hour or so away for five years. Lemme just say right now that I really didn't like living there one bit.
When I decided that I wanted to go to university in Denver, I ended up moving out of the suburbs and into the city. I've always been in love with urban landscapes and the freedom and fluidity aspect of cities. Denver is unique in that it has this feeling of a big city and has lots to do and a lot of attitude, but is pretty mid-range in population and size.
The city has lots of charm and enough spots that are hidden and special to get lost in. Almost everyday I find myself being part of a new adventure or experience here in the city. I took this picture one day last Summer in this half empty parking lot. Seeing the pigeons and hearing all of them collectively coo made me happy.
Both of these pictures are of the Capitol during 4th of July last year. The festivities were awesome. Both the Capitol building (not pictured) and the City Hall building (directly in front of both photos) lit up to celebrate the 4th of July. Fireworks were shot directly above the Capitol. It was a nice night.
There's free mini golf in the central hub of downtown. They've got the iconic Blue Bear figurine miniaturized. I would usually come down here with my boyfriend when I didn't have work and wanted to do something fun.
The clock tower at night always shines beautifully, especially on a warm summer night. Every day I spend here in Denver is another opportunity for making new memories and finding something magical about the city. I find the city also pretty accepting and diverse as a whole. Recently, I've been seeing all these high-rises being built around the city which has driven rent up substantially (boo!) but I don't see this as a long-term thing hopefully since most of those aren't even filled up yet after several years of this quick construction.
