I can’t imagine why anyone would ever choose to leave Denver because it’s such a fantastic place to live, and especially given our current situation, I’m more proud to call Colorado home than ever. The Mile High City truly has it all – great people, good eats, stellar views, and tons of cultural activities and attractions to keep us busy. But if the traffic and housing prices get to you, and you simply must relocate, here are 15 things people miss about Denver that you won’t find anywhere else.
