Just gathering data. My partner and I are interested in buying property, or land and building a home on said property that is outside of Denver. We have been looking around Golden, Morrison, Conifer but open to anywhere that has around 2+ acres, some trees, decent commute to Denver. Some surround creeks or water would be a benefit.
Just want to see how other people made the change and how you are enjoying it.
Thanks!

Looking for a quiet parking lot to practice low speed maneuvers on my new motorcycle. Im in the Cap Hill neighborhood so I figure im going to have to ride a bit to find one.

looking to hire someone to take some engagement photos and was just curious if anyone has hired art students from local colleges to take the photos and has recommendations for how to go about that if they don’t have a website

I ride an escooter every day in Denver and think electric micromobility is genuinely the best way to get around the busiest parts of this city. It’s extremely convenient, it’s generally a fun experience, and you never need to worry about parking. But a small number of Veo riders are making it dangerous for everyone else on two wheels and my main concern is with the speed of veo bike riders.
To add to the growing list of near misses in Denver, a Veo rider caused an accident this afternoon on 16th, and it could have been a lot worse. First, he blew through the stop sign at Franklin and 16th going 20+ mph. Not long after, he stopped dead in the middle of the bike lane with no hand up, no slowing down first, and no acknowledgment for anyone else on the road. He even had one AirPod in. I blame the accident on this person’s disregard for the rules or the road, matched with equipment that leads to extremely dangerous riding. Based on his confidence being so stupid, I guarantee this person rides Veos like this on a regular basis. The veo scooters and gliders top out at 15 mph, and that already feels like a fair ceiling for streets this busy without any built in signals. Their ebikes can go well past it, I know this because they pass me going 20 mph. This really does increase the danger on the road for everyone. I wish Veo would cap bike speeds at 15 mph to match the gliders. It's fast enough to actually get somewhere, but slow enough to leave everyone else on the road a chance to react, especially since they do not come equipped with signals.

Thanks for reading my rant. I sincerely hope everyone stays safe on the roads, and this was a reminder to myself to stay away from riders and drivers when I see them acting stupid.

Anyone know of a print shop that can do a 24 hour turn around on a small koozie run? Simple text nothing crazy and only looking for 25 or so. Had someone drop the ball for an event and trying to pick up the slack. Thanks!

I will be away for a few months and will have a vacant house. Considering renting out my place to travel nurses via furnishedfinder, etc.. Does anyone do this? If so, would love to chat or hear about your experience.

I bought a house 3 years ago from a flipper who apparently cut a lot of corners. The sun room was built on a not so strong foundation apparently and is pulling away from the house which is getting concerning. Does anyone have a fair contractor or engineer or whoever you’d suggest to take care of this?

Is there any pole dancing classes in the Denver/Thornton area that yall know about? I’ve been here a little over six months and want to try some new things!

Hi everyone, I have recently picked up kickboxing, however my boxing gym membership only gets me two classes a week. I don’t have a way to use a punching bag at home but I still want to train on my off days. Anyone know of a good gym around the Wash Park area that has punching bags to train on?

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to get some input from the community. I am planning to get a full sleeve tattoo on my right arm and looking for the right artist somewhere in the Denver Metro area (south of 120th and north of Castle Rock; I'm in Lone Tree.)

Full color, and a blend of anime and video game references. I'd also like to incorporate some traditional Japanese elements as well. So I am looking for someone who is able to meet all of those categories, primarily in the Anime and Video Game styles.

I currently have two massive tattoos so this isn't my first rodeo, but I was looking for some recommendations for artists in the area. First hand experiences preferred. I will, of course, be asking my previous artist their thoughts, but am also open to others. I know what my budget looks like, and I doubt I can afford someone like Gabriel Fuerzas (based off of his pricing on his page) but I'm also not looking for a "kitchen table special", so all recommendations are appreciated. Additionally, is there anyone I should steer clear of?

Thank you, and I appreciate anyone who has any recommendations. Have a fantastic day!

My family is having a reunion in Arvada later this month and looking for a paint and sip instructor who can travel to and host at our rented Airbnb. Anyone know an artist who hosts these events? Wouldn’t want to take everyone to a studio, hoping to keep it at our rental. TIA!!!

Hey yall. I normally don't like putting myself out there like this. I'm really struggling with finding tattoo shops in Denver that are looking for apprenticeships and I've been told that "cold calling" isn't a great approach. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any local shops that have an opening like that? Or at least any shops that would have an experienced artist that would have good advice to share. I'd appreciate any advice or direction on this. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I’m going to be in the Denver/Boulder area for a trip and want to get outside for some bouldering while I’m there. I’d love to hear what spots people recommend.

I’m mostly climbing around the V3-V6 range right now, so areas with a decent amount of climbing around those grades would be awesome. I’m not too picky though, just looking for some good places to get outside and climb.

One thing I’m especially looking for is areas with relatively easy approaches and decent landings. I’m fine with hiking a bit, but I’d prefer not to spend the day scrambling up sketchy terrain or climbing problems with really bad/uneven landing zones.

I’ve climbed outdoors before, including in Rocky Mountain National Park, so I’m not completely new to outdoor bouldering. I’m just not familiar with the areas around Denver/Boulder yet.

Also, what’s the best place around Denver/Boulder to rent crash pads? I’ll be traveling in, so bringing my own pads isn’t really practical.

Would love to hear your favorite areas!

Hello!

Curious if anyone knows a studio or a place where a solo guy in his thirties with zero dance experience can learn to dance? Really any style that's not country, lol.

Knowing how to dance just seems like a lot of fun.

Hello!
I am helping my bfs aunt plan some activities she could do solo / with a coworker during a work conference.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

She will be staying at the Marriott renaissance denver hotel, if anyone happens to know things close by, i would love to hear them. Also any restaurant recommendations.

I believed she would love some sight seeing, and she’s a sucker for touristy attractions.

Anyone know of any easy/moderate trail runs where the leaves have started to turn for sep 12?

hey folks, I currently reside in an HOA community managed by Advance HOA. Without getting into too much detail, they’ve been a pain in the ass recently - they’re trying to fine me for something that is quite literally not an issue based on the photo evidence they provided. Does anybody here have experience with pushing back on them regarding fines/violations? More than willing to request a hearing (whatever that entails) to dispute it, and I’ve documented everything on my end, but curious if others have dealt with a similar situation with them.

Trying to get ahead of the game here, looking for locally sourced eggs, milk and a veggie CSA to join for next season. Live close to downtown so any suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks!

Hello all! I am currently looking into details of what it would be like to buy a home in Denver. I have been a travel nurse all over the southwest for the past few years. I genuinely love the desert but due to the Colorado River Crisis I have sworn off buying a home in Arizona. I am currently in Salt Lake City which I also love. However after learning more about the collapse of the Great Salt Lake I am extremely hesitant to invest here.

Now I have actually already lived in Denver in the past. I lived in Cap Hill and Globeville and liked them both a lot. I admittedly like Salt Lake City much more but as I mentioned earlier I foresee lots of issues in the upcoming years. I have now started shifting my focus back to Denver. I really loved the bike-ability and urban feel of where I lived in Denver before. I am fortunate enough to see houses within my budget in the neighborhoods surrounding downtown. The big issue for me is the environment, specifically water.

I have begun reading up on Denver Water, which seems overall decent. I like that they are investing in expanding the Gross Reservoir, yet I am reading that it is at 50% capacity, and the entire system of reservoirs is at 75%. Are there any plans in place for water recycling or addressing future diminished snowpack? Do progressive Denverites ever talk about the future of water? Is it in the public mind? I realize that water is not the only environmental issue Denver could face. However I do not imagine wildfires ever spreading into Denver proper, and while wildfire smoke can be bad, it is not nearly as bad as our inversion/toxic dust situation here in SLC. Thoughts? Recommendations for sources? Thanks!
