Wow, such a shocking amount of hate for my city. I’ve been here over 20 years and am never bored or scared or add another negative adjective. Downtown is not going to offer what you get from the center of another big city, but off the top of my head you can: See hilarious local theater at Buntport Go to Meow Wolf for a different kind of art experience See the Clifford Still museum, unique in the world Visit a beautiful Botanic Garden Take in a baseball game downtown Eat at any number of excellent restaurants (Annette, Root Down) or grab good cheap food at Taco de Mexico and then do a first Friday art walk on South Santa Fe if the timing is right Take a bus to Boulder and hang out, or rent a car and drive 30 minutes to hike in the mountains. There’s free music everywhere all summer, and multiple arts and crafts shows If any of this is appealing then yes, come to Denver. The climate is also awesome. To those of you who think we’re all assholes, I’ll just bite my tongue. More on reddit.com
