The population of our marvelous Mile High City is insanely diverse, and consequently, there are plenty of bizarre head-turning happenings each and every day that will put you in a tailspin. There are also a lot of weird things only people from Denver do that every Mile Higher can relate to, and we hope you get a good laugh out of them. Living in Denver can be pretty strange. You’re welcome!
1. We chose Blucifer, the Murderous Mustang, to greet visitors at the Denver International Airport.
What's so frightening and inhospitable about a 32-foot-tall horse with glowing red eyes that killed its creator? Seems normal to me. Only in Denver, right?
2. We leave the house every day with every layer of clothing known to man.
This may be one of those Denver stereotypes, but it rings true for most of us.
3. We often carry a variety of footwear because you just never know.
4. Let's move on to talking about transplants...
(...and Texans...)
5. ...and traffic. And transplants (aka Texans) driving in traffic.
Seriously, though, Denver has some of THE worst potholes (and drivers) in the nation.
6. Even when there's a blizzard you can expect Denverites to drive roughly 20-30 MPH over the speed limit.
No joke, 80 or 90 MPH in a 55 is the Denver norm.
7. We'll drive miles out of our way just to avoid sitting in construction traffic.
8. We have a soft spot for Casa Bonita.
Even if the food sends us running to the bathroom, we will always love Casa Bonita. It's just a part of life in Denver.
9. Sometimes the Mile High struggles are really real.
For example, what local beer should I order? There are too many to choose from!
10. Denverites who complain about being landlocked are just plain silly.
Therapy - Mile High style.
11. Running in snow also seems silly, but there are plenty of Mile Highers doing it.
Blizzard shmizzard.
12. Yeah, Denver's super weird, and you definitely don't want to move here.
