Officially Moving to Colorado

[davos]

So funny story: I was living in Virginia for school, moved to Wyoming, then Savannah (Charleston part-time), then to Charlotte, and now to DC...within the past 2 years.   

 

Now I've only been in DC for a month in a good ole' corporate marketing position and got word from out west (in Denver) that I've been accepted into grad school for architecture.  Put my acceptance in the mail today.  

 

Now I've stayed there a few times over the years in Wash Park and Highland which are sweet spots but still could know more about the area.  I'm just pumped and was looking for recommendations from any knowledgeable huddlers on the town.

Smoke some weed for us.

I also want to see what kind of buildings stoners will design.

Is this the reason you are telling your Mom?

i don't know poo about denver but i lived in colorado springs, woodland park, and the loveland/fort collins area as a kid and as a teenager during the 90's and early 2000s. granted you have a totally different perspective as an adult living there, but as a kid i fuging loved it.

The grass is often stinkier on the other side.

Apparently because of the legality deal, all types of schools have been flooded with applicants.  

 

I've actually been on a break for the last ~2 months.

Make it a road trip, do the Bourbon Trail on the way, and download "tvfoodmaps".    

 

Boom!

Congrats on the acceptance, man.  I always had a passion for architecture and design, generally.  Never followed through with that; instead, I went to law school . . . .  Haha, it was all worth it, though, and I'm happy.  Hope it all works out for you.

my friend took an americorp in denver that paid like 900 bucks a month.  he had a spot a few blocks behind colfax ave (don't remember if it was east or west colfax, but it was in walking distance of the capitol building and many bars).  he ate a lot of rice and beans that year, but managed to live.  i rode with him down there when he moved.  we stayed at a hostel for a few nights before i flew back to okc.  he found a place to live within a week.  i could ask him for some advise if you'd like.

Sure why not. I'm considering buying a condo/loft/townhouse so any areas with an active night life + culture is cool by me.

What kind of nightlife? LoDo is where all the kids goto drink. But they do have 1 Up near the baseball stadium, if you're into older pinball and arcade games.

Your biggest problem is going to be choosing what local beer to have. I recommended anything Great Divide

well obviously, he knew he would only be there a year, so he wasn't looking to buy.  but at a minimum, i could ask about locations.
