[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread really highlights how different people are.

I loved Denver and hated DC. I could have loved DC with a third less people in it and a little more sunshine. But how anyone can denve boring is beyond me—and I didn’t even ski.

Ulitimately it just boils down to what you’re into.[/quote]

I posted earlier as a Denver native who has lived here 20 years and regularly visits again now that we have 2 kids and we find Denver to be incredibly and numbingly boring.  We live in DC and we are always going out and doing stuff and in Denver are always straining to find anything to do.  The Mint, Botanical Gardens, Zoo, Butterfly Pavilion, Natural History Museum, Tiny Town etc aren't really all that interesting and after that there just isn't much else to do.  We do get up to the Mountains and go back-packing and are looking at a longer trip this summer to get to the SW part of the state (which is really far from Denver) but that is not day to day stuff you can do.

But what gets me is that no one (family, friends with and without kids) ever wants to do anything either - everyone just wants to hang out at home and sit around and maybe go to a movie.

And except for a couple of neighborhoods near downtown no neighborhoods are really walkable though there isn't much to walk to.

Though I will say the dining scene is much better than it used to be though along with that Denver has lost much of the funkiness it used to have.

Look if you are going to live a car oriented suburban lifestyle and don't care about diversity Denver is a great place to live - it is a bit cheaper, it is beautiful, the weather is fantastic and it is generally a much more positive place to live.

But it really is boring.
