So... I'm going to Denver

[Ohio Joe]

I'm in Jersey right now visiting family but I leave in the morning for Denver. Hopefully I find permanent work there. So, what can you tell me about Denver?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear Ohio Joe!

I don't know anything about it, except they call it the Mile-High City.

Good luck getting a permanent job, sweetie!

I'm cheering you on!

Do let us know as you have time, OK?

:hug:

2. Thanks Peggy

I'm driving and plan on taking pictures along the way and posting them once I'm there.

3. I'm relocating myself to the West Slope.

I haven't been to Denver yet, but I really like Colorado! Lots of apartments on craigslist. Have a good trip!:hi:

4. I liked living in west Denver

Lakewood, Golden, Arvada, Wheatridge... I lived there for a couple years. Loved it.

5. OH NO...... don't do it.... save yourself.......

actually what little I saw of it, train stop, it is a beautiful city. Especially climbing up the Rockies via train.

6. I moved from there to come to Ohio

It is a beautiful place. Best wishes in finding exactly what you are looking for.

7. That's where I wanted to relocate to when I retired

from the Air Force 2 years ago. Went there on my terminal leave, a great job fell out of my grasp, and I got a horrible case of altitude sickness. Never had migraines before; the misery is beyond explanation.

Hopefully things will work out better for you!

8. Yes, keep the altitude in mind when you get there.

I lived in Cheyenne, and it's even higher than Denver - which I visited and worked in often. People would get off the plane, get nauseous and dizzy, headachey, just general flu-like symptoms. If you're driving, it may be that you'll acclimate better, but one thing to keep in mind, if you drink alcohol, drink in moderation till you get used to the altitude - it definitely will affect you more and the hangovers will be miserable.

Denver is nice, Ft Collins is also (north of Denver). Good luck in your job hunt, and drive careful! :hi:

9. Come to the Colorado forum

We're friendly. We don't bite.

Denver is the bluest of blue in this state.

Good skiing, good eats, good biking, good hiking.

Rent's pretty reasonable.

11. you'll find great beer everywhere

it's a nice, blue place and we live in some of the prettiest country i've seen (i'm about an hour north).

do keep the altitude in mind and make sure you're packed for weather. safe trip and good luck :hi:

13. John Hickenlooper (now CO governor) used to own a brewpub.

That tells you what kind of town Denver is. :toast:

12. Denver is a great city. I go there all the time.

[woo me with science]

14. If you make a cake, you should use the high altitude directions.

15. Can you play defensive back?

Denver needs some pass defense.

16. I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shinin

I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shinin
My '60 Cadillac was rollin through Nebraska whinin
Doin a hundred twenty man the fields was bendin over
Hay down our motor mount and snowin, we was travelin further
All the pipes were blazin and the screamin wheels turnin, turnin
Had my girl beside me brother, brother she was burnin, burnin

A hooked up babtist preachin souther funky school teacher
She had a line on somethin heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed something that would get us going
She pulled out all she had and layed it on the counter showin
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
Asked how much she needed, man, we lit out in a pickup truck & GO

Get outta Denver better go, go
Get outta Denver better go-ooooh
Get outta Denver better go, go
Get outta Denver cause you like just like a commie and you might just be a member, better
Get outta Denver, better, get outta Denver
Well, red lights are flashin and the sirens were a screamin
We had to pinch each other just to see if we was dreamin
Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzlin and it turned into a thunder shower

The rain kept drivin but the Caddy kept on burnin rubber
We kept on drivin til we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing somehow we just kept on goin
We kept on drivin all night long and then into the mornin
Fog had finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're sailin in a column had a state policeman trooper's hat

Get outta Denver better go, go
Get outta Denver better go-ooooh
Get outta Denver better go, go
Get outta Denver cause you like just like a commie and you might just be a member, better
Get outta Denver, better, get outta Denver

Scat................... go, go
Scat................... go-ooooh
Scat................... go, go
Scat................... cause you like just like a commie and you might just be a member, better
Get outta Denver, better GO!


Just sayin' ;)
