My brother has lived out there for 8 years or something like that. I have been out there many times.
It is very different than a "downtown" area that I am use to down here in FL.
The town seems to have alot of younger people (30's). Here in FL once 5 oclock comes or on weekends, the downtown seems to shut down. Out in Denver that downtown area still has alot open and alot of people around.
There is also alot to do with just an hours drive up to the mountains. In the summer, fishing, hiking and such. In the winter, of course skiing.
