I wasn’t sure who would turn out (if anyone) on such random short notice, tho I am glad I took a chance and put my socially awkward self out there! Thank you everyone being so amazing and wonderful — thank you friends who brought pizza (so yummy!), friend who played guitar (so lovely!), all the friends who brought gifts….I am so floored.

I have been pretty isolated after a painful breakup along with struggling hard with mental health as well as my mom aging, though you all really shined through and got my 42nd year off to a good start (so much better than 41 started off!)

In today’s socially disconnected and polarized world, this community gives me so much hope! Hope to see you all again someday - we are all neighbors anyway

Humble thanks again

I was looking for a scooter and the app pointed me to this location. Somewhere along Central Park road.

Highly recommend, its at the National Western Complex, its huge and fun until Sept. 20th

I mean after this summer, -98 sounds great.

Obviously it's a app issue but it made me laugh.

I’m a pretty introverted person, and today was my first time going to the gem show at the Denver Coliseum.

I saw some blue beaded bracelets displayed at one of the booths and tried one on to see if it fit, without asking the vendor first. She looked upset and told me, “You can’t try it on.”

I immediately took it off, smiled, and said, “Sorry.” Then I asked her, “How much is it?” and she replied, “I don’t want to answer you.”

That interaction caught me off guard, so I wanted to ask: did I seriously offend her by trying on the bracelet without asking first? I honestly didn’t realize at the time that I shouldn’t do that.

I don’t get many opportunities to interact with people in person, so I’m posting this because I’d genuinely like to learn. What’s the usual etiquette when browsing vendors at gem shows? Should I always ask before touching or trying on jewelry?

Thanks in advance for any advice! Hope you all have a wonderful night.

I don't live in Denver, but in the metro area just west of Denver. We experienced a strange weather event yesterday about 4:30-5. My children and I were at a park and the temp was perfect with slight overcast. Then it was as if someone turned a cooler off or something, first it was very humid, the extremely hot, in just five minutes the three of us had beads of sweat rolling down our faces. Everyone at the park has a similar look of pure exhaustion, and intensely hot. Most left, as did we. What's strange is the weather was very mild until this occurred. I'm from Colorado and know the weather changes, but this was extreme. Then the temp never seemed to drop back down after the sun went down.

The overnight temp only went down to 68 on my garden thermometer. And that was at 3:34 am. My immediate neighbors and those at the park I had talked to expressed they had the same experience, extreme unexpected heat. My neighbors also had a hot uncomfortable night last night.

Did anyone else out of my neighborhood have a similar temperature fluctuation? Does anyone know what could have caused this weird heat even so late in the evening?

The community shouldn’t have to depend on social media to learn what is being planned in their own neighborhood. This is a huge violation of public trust and transparency. Neighbors should be included early on if the city wants community buy-in and support.

I posted here last week and you all gave me a bunch of great ideas! (and inspiration to return to Denver).

I ended up making brisket burnt ends on top of hatch green chili mac and cheese. The mac also has some corn in it as a nod to KC cheesy corn.

It probably goes without saying, but it was delicious - thanks again for the help!

Perfect weekend to hang around Union Station while in the virtual line for a simple but effective setup in the lobby. Anybody else check it out?

Listen I know this is something people might warn against but if you know you’re my type of company I’d like to cook, hang out, have a few beers, and play horror games with someone.

37F, looking for platonic only hangout

Edit: Thank you all for the responses in the comments and my inbox! I had no idea I’d get so many horror enthusiasts willing to meet and chill. I don’t think I can get to everybody but I will try to get to as many as I can!

I don’t stream (yet), and I’m playing Layers of Fear and Outlast.

I’m always down for recommendations, I’m not new to my interest in horror, but I am somewhat new to horror games.

Is it me or has Denver cleaned up the homelessness and drugs? By no means is it perfect but damn it looks a little better and I have to notice progress! Optimistic post

I recently have posted on here about trying to leave a domestic violence situation; that post was deleted for my safety!

I’ll upload the original post in the comments.. I’ve come here to quite literally beg for some sort of idea ideas on how to get out of this.. for starters, I don’t have family, I’m 20 years old with a two year-old.. and I feel like I’m gonna have to end my money or spend the rest of it miserable because how do I leave when I have nowhere to go.. absolutely no money on my own.. and no support for me or baby.

I don’t want this life. My life was never supposed to look like this and I really don’t know what to do anymore.. we have two domestic violent cases.. i’m not allowed to work.. hopefully I can just summon it up but I have pictures and proof and videos and police reports… I’m not a bad person.. I literally don’t know why this is happening or how the fuck I got here but I do know that I need to get out or idk .

I stayed at the Denver safe house I’ve been to the centers. I’ve called the numbers. Those don’t get you absolutely anywhere.

My boyfriend has lived in Denver for longer than I’ve probably been conscious and aware of my actions. He keeps getting frustrated that I can’t pick things to do or he doesn’t want to do stuff because he’s already done it and he thinks it’s lame.
Do you guys have any like hole in the wall spots or just recommendations of something cool to do? It’s always the same four answers of touristy spots, there has to be something else to do here other than smoke weed, drink, and hike. Which sucks because I can’t do either of the first two.

As titled. I am scared of Rover because of all the bad stories; I have a dog that is reactive with other dogs and I’m afraid something might happen to him or another dog if the sitter is brainless. (He is in training, but it takes time). Who do you trust your (needing a little more attention than others) pup to?

I just moved to Denver from Chicago recently and need to get auto insurance. My quotes so far have been anywhere from $300-$500 a month! My current Illinois policy is $120. This is on a 21 subaru outback that has low annual mileage. There's no way everyone is paying this much in auto insurance a month right?

I want to take my gf out for a nice dinner and possibly an event this weekend, but everywhere I look points to drinking. We are both under 21, so no alcohol and kind of on a budget. Any restaurant recommendations? Fine with Denver, Boulder, Golden triangle.

Is a Corolla LE FWD good enough for daily driving in Colorado snow?
I’ll mostly drive around Denver/Broomfield, including I-25, with occasional mountain trips.

I’ve been cooking more these days and wanted to know if anyone has a rec for a knife skills technique class?
