I was born in Denver. Still live there. So, I had to watch this trying to imagine myself as a tourist and this was my first introduction to “The Mile High City.” Couple of things for everyone to note: Denver is much prettier in the summer. Our winters aren’t as harsh as many would think but it still makes for a dull and monotone look in the winter. And, sadly, the pandemic has really hurt the economy. While we are doing much, much better than other parts of the country, the vibrancy of Denver has gone. I hope this will change once the majority of the population is vaccinated. If you are watching this and thinking about visiting when safe travel is restored, please do so. Denver is a great place to visit and to live.
Sounds a lot like where I live in the Portland, Oregon area. The northwest may be known for rain but that's during the winter and spring. We have lots of warm and sunny days in the summer. One thing I've noticed about Denver's weather is the wild temperature swings. Sunny and warm one day, cold and snowy the next!
@Charles Hamilton The best thing about your comment is the meticulous attention to the grammar. I recently read a paragraph-long comment on a RUclips video with no commas, or full stops or any other punctuations. English is beautiful language when used correctly. If most people in Denver speak English like you, it must be a great place. I cannot stand the Californiesque phrases, such as "I am like" and "Be like".
I’m going to visit Denver (from Finland) for a few weeks. I’m excited, haven’t been abroad since December of 2019. It’s also going to be my first time there!
Thanks for this. I lived in Denver for six years and moved to Europe a year and a half ago. I miss Denver a lot and want to live there again one day, it felt like home.
I was born and raised in the foothills outside of Denver. Even with the growth its still a great city to cruise around in. Thanks for bringing back some good memories
@@rhanvy03 pandemic definitely, New York streets were empty a few nights. But compared to New York it *may* seem a little empty to you because there’s less of a rush and less people per square foot
Even though I lived in Denver for 32 years, and worked downtown for 15 of them, I hardly recognize half of what I see here. I’ve been gone since 2002, with only occasional visits. Wow how things change!
I spent more than a decade driving cab in Denver in the 70s and 80s. I moved away in 1986 and have returned many times but this was a LOT of fun riding around downtown. Thanks for the morning ride.
Denver is very pretty city! One day, I’ll see it! This video makes me feel like I am in Denver right now. Denver is more beautiful than NYC. Points: Denver 10/10 NYC. 1/10

Being a NYC native for almost 30 years, watching this is a tad bit refreshing. This is slower pace and smaller scale. Denver seems like a pretty relaxing place to live. Here it's a way more quicker pace. But I'm used to it at this point. There's also way more people here. Denver looks like a ghost town in this video. Although it is covid and it depends on which time of day.
I use to work in downtown Denver pre-covid (couple years ago); add about 10 times the traffic you see, that's what it usually was. So many people working from home now.
@@justinbond1983 For sure. Some people here are leaving NYC for the surrounding suburbs. Like Long Island. Because they can work from anywhere. And the property values are skyrocketing in those places. I don't see that changing. I think working from at home is becoming more and more common.
Yet another beautiful city I've never seen in detail this close before. You never disappoint, man! Some parts of it actually look a bit like Toronto from what I remember of those videos.
It's more like really expensive Calgary. Actually, thinking of moving to Calgary once I finish my math degree. It's way cheaper and I've found a nice niche getting a USD salary remotely in IT for years. Hoping that remains as it has since 2018, pre-pandemic. I kindof know how to work my way through the remote world and land clients running myself as a business. Calgary is what Denver was in 2010.

Born in denver in 58, grew up in the 60s and 70s when people called it a cow town but frankly things were pretty great, I was a musician playing gigs 6 nights a week in clubs in the late 70s early 80s, better than a college music degree, real gig experience constantly and got paid to do it... Moved to L.A. in the 80s after touring in a rock band all over the world, got sick of L.A. crowds and came back to Denver in 97, watched the tech boom in the 90s and then the bust, was playing gigs from the Brown palace hotel to Aspen and everything in between and raising my kids...the last 7 years though have been depressing, legalized weed and everything started changing, more homelessness, drug people on the streets, rents and home prices went through the roof. I haven't played a gig since last February almost a year ago because of Covid lockdowns and the city of denver banning horn players from playing a gig...yes, the city government banned specifically horn players from doing a gig...I dont even recognize this town anymore...its a damn shame...
America has so many beautiful cities with their own unique charm. No other country has that. They may have their capital city and a few other cities but that's it.
Denver really feels like a big city now.....it has to be, considering it's the most populated metro area within a 500 mile radius.....it's the urban hub for an entire region of the Mountain West
yep, comes with a D finance grade and $1 billion budget deficit just like a big city too. We need to start thinking like Aurora. It's now technically a big city. Has posted a budget surplus every year recorded. Aurora, Charlotte, Raleigh; Madison are some of our country's best managed cities. Apparently, Tulsa is posting a surplus. Let's hope we figure that out before we go broke. Chicago and NYC suck.
I see that Denver has been described above as "small" but how do you define "small". It's a relative term. Denver has the 10th largest downtown in the U.S. with more than 23 million square feet of office space (slightly smaller in area than central San Francisco and slightly larger than Houston's downtown). While it's not a mega city of 10 million, population of the consolidated metro area is in excess of 3.6 million. That is more than the entire population of Southern California in 1940, when Los Angeles was the 4th largest city in the U.S. Or, looking at it another way, it is nearly two and a half times the size of 1940's San Franciso-Oakland Bay Area, famous film-noir locale and America's 7th largest metro at the time! Like I said, it's all relative. And Denver, as a regional hub, is much more than 3.6 million. At least 4.25 million live within an hour of Denver International Airport. Another 400,000 live not much farther away. Also, it is the trade and transportation center of the Front Range Urban Corridor--population 5.25 million. And that is 750,000 more people than were in metropolitan Chicago in 1940! Not so small! See my comments elsewhere in this posting. Have a nice day.
It's winter, and this looks like it was shot not long ago. The leaves are all gone form the trees, downtown. The combination of winter weather and COVID-19 means the city doesn't bustle as much as usual. That said, most of the people who walk around downtown do it along the 16th Street Mall, and that's closed to private vehicle traffic. Another primary driver of downtown crowds is the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo, which should be going on, right now. However, that was canceled, this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions. NIce shots of LoDo, down behind Union Station. :) I noticed that you cut the trip back down Park Avenue West toward Broadway. The shots of the baseball park can be pretty nice, on the trip from that direction. You did manage to get one shot with a train, too. I wasn't sure you would -- the services to the downtown stops have been cut way back, due to the pandemic.
What day of the week this was recorded? I'm in Houston and the only time the streets are like this, not much traffic or action (before covid) is on Sundays. I'm planning on moving to Denver next year to get away from the congestion and the mass migration to Texas, so watching this is actually making me want to move there now. Please adopt me people of Denver, I promise to not bring any rude Texas attitude. I just want to live in peace in the mountains.
You're more than welcome to move here. Don't mind people that say otherwise. Ever since covid, our traffic has died down a lot. But the traffic can get pretty bad sometimes (coming from an L.A. native)
Will you be doing a night time version of this? I like the day ones but the nights are my favourite, my mam used to work nightshifts and me and my Dad would load up the car with snacks, music, blankets and drive round the town at night on a weekend, and to the coast - i love the nightlife and lights and sounds of night. My favourite video on your channel is the Miami at night, i use it to relax and unwind, when i am working and just because its amazing to watch, you have amazing content and i thank you for your time and effort to bring us all these amazing videos xx
hopefully the $1+ billion budget deficit won't cause problems in the near future like it is in Chicago. housing here is already so dang expensive that if property tax in the greater area goes up our increased debt load will create a foreclosure crisis. remember when rent was $800 + utilities and you got working heat w/ ac and groceries were $60 per week. Now, rent is $1400 and groceries went up 80%. It's only been 5 years and we already had to increase minimum wage to $15.57. That is just to make the city affordable. Strange that TX, with all of our top 5 fastest growing cities is so cheap compared to Denver. A house at $200k in Houston/$150k in Ft Worth where per-capita GDP is $15,000 higher and then 10 year growth rate is > 40% [65% in Ft Worth alone]. I cannot even find a condo in CO now for < $225k that isn't in the ghetto. If you are lucky you might get 447 sq feet for $200k and no a/c.
Interesting comment to read. Always appreciate seeing info like this from locals. Best of luck. I'll have to read into the top 5 fastest growing cities now..
Maybe inside the Denver city area but in lakewood/Littleton it is much more affordable! Having grown up in Tampa Bay where minimum wage is 9 dollars an hour I struggled to live and was homeless for 9 months. I was paid $11 an hour cooking full time whereas now i make 17. Living in the Denver economy I am actually able to save money and have money available for other expenses I otherwise wouldn't. Also most jobs out here have full benefits, this is the first time I've had health care or pto in my life let alone pet insurance. Yes living in denver can be a bit pricey but I definitely feel that its worth it
Texas cities also suck imo. You get what you pay for is a very true saying. Texas cities are WAY cheaper than most cities in the US (except for Austin which is the most livable one lol). The climate is terrible, the sprawl is insane, crime tends to be REALLY high, etc etc etc. Also there's affordable shit in CO, it's just outside of Denver. Denver's a fairly nice city with a high influx of people moving to it, and those people tend to have high wage jobs. It's the law of supply v demand. I've lived in GA, TN, TX and now CO. TX had the cheapest big cities. They all were miserable (don't wanna be too negative bc there were definite pros, like cost of living, but for me personally they did not outweigh the cons.) and I totally understand why it's so cheap to live in TX. GA and TN were fine but I didn't like the political climate and ATL is pricey for what you get. CO is my favorite out of any of them. Also not sure what budget deficit you're talking about? I'm not saying you're wrong! I just genuinely can't find any info on that specific point. There was budget shortfalls due to COVID, but CO and Denver didn't have deficits -- they balanced their budgets my cutting services (Sadly). For the state it was like $3 billion. For Denver, it was like $119m. Let me know what you're talking about with that point if you don't mind!
@@RabidRiddinRabbits I work 80+ hours a week @ $60+k per year and a low spend. I am 33 and cannot afford a starter home in those areas. My only real option is actually a $250k condo in Cheeseman park or $180k condo in places I wouldn't touch as a kid growing up in the middle class. So no, they aren't cheaper. Hell, rent just crossed $1600 on average for the greater area. Only Pueblo is really noticeably cheaper. 25% of Pueblo lives below the poverty line and the median income is < the minimum wage for 40 hours per week. So, 50% of Pueblo lives below what the state hints at is the poverty line. The median home is still $225k there.
@@jutah yeah, crazy right? technically all of its services are separate as the city of Aurora [trash, water, sewer fire, police, Aurora Public Schools]. It grew so much that it is basically in the major cites list now. The National League of Cities includes it [not Aurora, IL] in its report on the state of cities. Since it used to be a poorer and middle class city for the most part [except South Aurora which is loaded], it inherited good fiscal sense. The only issue is the public schools are god awful. Still, most Colorado public schools don't perform well.
Denver is a very large metro. nice downtown and what i like that its a clean city. not all of Denver is clean but much cleaner then 99.9% of east coast cities. You can definitely tell you in a western city. it has that look for sure. The outline areas of Denver with the rocky Mountains is just stunning!
@@jonathanielpringlemaniii I didn;t like your delivery. if you good with me , i'm great with you. Denver is like any other big city in many ways. i know they have there bad and good. i wouldn;t live there its too cold and expensive
So is there another vid where you actually 'head into' the rockies? Because that would look stunning in 4k, especially where the great divide comes into shot!
@@wellifthemediasaysit from the tunnel to grand junction would be cool or the gas station in downieville to grand junction. From florence to Westcliffe to Salid to alamosa is another drive worth showing
@@thomaselers7416 I mean, I could have just said due to the pandemic and the fact that's it's winter. That would have been a non partisan yet still factual unbiased statement. What I meant was Denver had and has more restrictions as a result of the pandemic due to its liberal government compared to other parts of the country that are less liberal. Not saying it's a bad thing. There's just less to do when everything is closed so more people stay in.
My stomping grounds! I walk/bike all over this city so it's all so familiar, haha. Thanks for actually giving the pedestrian/dog the right of way. It depresses me how many don't and how many times I would have bit it if I wasn't paying attention. Fuck those who can't wait the few seconds to allow someone to safely cross or just aren't paying attention.
I love watching ur videos, its awesome. Sometimes i feel i dont need to go out as everything i can watch on ur videos👍. One thingbI want to ask, whta fps do u shoot all these and what picture profile?
Your issues with the homeless are ignorant...the video did not “leave out” but rather showcased the reality of the situation, which is pretty darn good. I am from Los Angeles and there are 50-65,000 homeless in Downtown Los Angeles alone. Thank your lucky stars and shut up already.
While the population of the Denver-Aurora Combined Statistical Area was 3,572,798 in 2018 there is a reality about the Denver "area" that Front Range residents and outsiders, alike, seem to miss. Having lived there I discovered that many residents still consider the cities along the said "Front Range" as separate entities as there are still open spaces between them (although you are almost never out of sight of man-made structures). Truth is, the population of the Denver region is much greater than 3.6 million. The Fort Collins metro (population 350,518 in 2018) is contiguous with the Denver metro on the north. To the south, the Denver and Colorado Springs metros have a ten-mile wide designated "open space" between them, near Greenland (in Douglas county). But the metro areas are literally back to back at the Douglas-El Paso, County line. The Colorado Springs metro had a population of 738,939 in 2018. It should be noted that people living in both Fort Collins and the Springs commute to work in Denver. In fact, people are commuting in all directions from the cities along the Front Range, which meets all U.S. Census Bureau criteria necessary to qualify as a single, consolidated statistical unit. As usual, the Census Bureau is very slow in recognizing the existence of facts such as these. Simple arithmetic shows that (in 2018) the Denver-Colorado Springs-Fort Collins combined statistical area had a population of 4,662,257 (nearly equivalent to Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia). Of that number (in 2018), probably 4.25 million lived within one hour of Denver International Airport. The other 400,000 lived not much farther away. In addition, you have the satellite cities (Pueblo and Cheyenne) that bracket the Front Range Urban Corridor (2019 population 4,976,731). With additional growth, the region passed the 5 million mark before the year 2019 was over. We know there has been even more growth since 2019. And the 5 million figure can't possibly include the estimated 200,000 undocumented emigrants that live and work in the region. So, at minimum, in January 2021 the population of this urban corridor must exceed 5.25 million (roughly equivalent to Phoenix or Detroit). Personally, I know people who work in Denver during the week but have weekend homes in Pueblo (120 miles south) and Cheyenne, Wyoming (90 miles north). And Denverites wonder why the streets and highways are getting crowded. Still, they should see the traffic in Los Angeles!

Isn't it funny how we all drive cars. Very Cool Video.
Denver is the capital of state of Colorado and it gets very cold during the winter. Nice work.
Stfu
Go Denver Go Orange!🏈
I was last here visiting from the UK in 1999.
This is best way to go through Denver
Watching this because i am homesick....
What device is being used to record these videos? Some very high quality footage
@@AhmedDZUSA Did you just link your random video without informing which camera is being used? Useless response that I did not request for.
@@RobertOortwijn lol he's doing that to every comment
Denver needs more and taller skyscrapers.
Denver really feels like a big city now.....it has to be, considering it's the most populated metro area within a 500 mile radius.....it's the urban hub for an entire region of the Mountain West
yep, comes with a D finance grade and $1 billion budget deficit just like a big city too. We need to start thinking like Aurora. It's now technically a big city. Has posted a budget surplus every year recorded. Aurora, Charlotte, Raleigh; Madison are some of our country's best managed cities. Apparently, Tulsa is posting a surplus. Let's hope we figure that out before we go broke. Chicago and NYC suck.
@@andrewevans5750 ins't Aurora basically a suburb of Denver? I've only been to Denver one time
I live in Colorado looks big but it's actually pretty small
And boy does it suck!!
I see that Denver has been described above as "small" but how do you define "small". It's a relative term. Denver has the 10th largest downtown in the U.S. with more than 23 million square feet of office space (slightly smaller in area than central San Francisco and slightly larger than Houston's downtown). While it's not a mega city of 10 million, population of the consolidated metro area is in excess of 3.6 million. That is more than the entire population of Southern California in 1940, when Los Angeles was the 4th largest city in the U.S. Or, looking at it another way, it is nearly two and a half times the size of 1940's San Franciso-Oakland Bay Area, famous film-noir locale and America's 7th largest metro at the time! Like I said, it's all relative. And Denver, as a regional hub, is much more than 3.6 million. At least 4.25 million live within an hour of Denver International Airport. Another 400,000 live not much farther away. Also, it is the trade and transportation center of the Front Range Urban Corridor--population 5.25 million. And that is 750,000 more people than were in metropolitan Chicago in 1940! Not so small! See my comments elsewhere in this posting. Have a nice day.
First few minutes are a chunk of my daily commute
If Denver wasn't too isolated would be by far the best USA city !!!
That’s a far stretch
great city great state miss it
Why did you leave .. go back then
It's winter, and this looks like it was shot not long ago. The leaves are all gone form the trees, downtown.
The combination of winter weather and COVID-19 means the city doesn't bustle as much as usual.
That said, most of the people who walk around downtown do it along the 16th Street Mall, and that's closed to private vehicle traffic.
Another primary driver of downtown crowds is the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo, which should be going on, right now.
However, that was canceled, this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions.
NIce shots of LoDo, down behind Union Station. :)
I noticed that you cut the trip back down Park Avenue West toward Broadway.
The shots of the baseball park can be pretty nice, on the trip from that direction.
You did manage to get one shot with a train, too.
I wasn't sure you would -- the services to the downtown stops have been cut way back, due to the pandemic.
What a lovely city I'll visit oneday in future,Everyon please pray for my dream🙏🙏
ha ha you went through the town I am living in now! I love it.
very great city
These driving videos are awesome. Would love to see an updated Tampa video
Omg visit during the springs, summer, or autumn. Winter is so bleak!
What day of the week this was recorded? I'm in Houston and the only time the streets are like this, not much traffic or action (before covid) is on Sundays. I'm planning on moving to Denver next year to get away from the congestion and the mass migration to Texas, so watching this is actually making me want to move there now. Please adopt me people of Denver, I promise to not bring any rude Texas attitude. I just want to live in peace in the mountains.
Don't move here, everyone else has moved here from wherever and now the rent is too dang high.
You're more than welcome to move here. Don't mind people that say otherwise. Ever since covid, our traffic has died down a lot. But the traffic can get pretty bad sometimes (coming from an L.A. native)
I thought Houston is better than Denver
Will you be doing a night time version of this? I like the day ones but the nights are my favourite, my mam used to work nightshifts and me and my Dad would load up the car with snacks, music, blankets and drive round the town at night on a weekend, and to the coast - i love the nightlife and lights and sounds of night. My favourite video on your channel is the Miami at night, i use it to relax and unwind, when i am working and just because its amazing to watch, you have amazing content and i thank you for your time and effort to bring us all these amazing videos xx
T́he Miami night drive was awesome. As was the San Francisco night drive. A Denver night drive would be great too.
hopefully the $1+ billion budget deficit won't cause problems in the near future like it is in Chicago. housing here is already so dang expensive that if property tax in the greater area goes up our increased debt load will create a foreclosure crisis. remember when rent was $800 + utilities and you got working heat w/ ac and groceries were $60 per week. Now, rent is $1400 and groceries went up 80%. It's only been 5 years and we already had to increase minimum wage to $15.57. That is just to make the city affordable. Strange that TX, with all of our top 5 fastest growing cities is so cheap compared to Denver. A house at $200k in Houston/$150k in Ft Worth where per-capita GDP is $15,000 higher and then 10 year growth rate is > 40% [65% in Ft Worth alone]. I cannot even find a condo in CO now for < $225k that isn't in the ghetto. If you are lucky you might get 447 sq feet for $200k and no a/c.
Interesting comment to read. Always appreciate seeing info like this from locals. Best of luck. I'll have to read into the top 5 fastest growing cities now..
Maybe inside the Denver city area but in lakewood/Littleton it is much more affordable! Having grown up in Tampa Bay where minimum wage is 9 dollars an hour I struggled to live and was homeless for 9 months. I was paid $11 an hour cooking full time whereas now i make 17. Living in the Denver economy I am actually able to save money and have money available for other expenses I otherwise wouldn't. Also most jobs out here have full benefits, this is the first time I've had health care or pto in my life let alone pet insurance. Yes living in denver can be a bit pricey but I definitely feel that its worth it
Texas cities also suck imo. You get what you pay for is a very true saying. Texas cities are WAY cheaper than most cities in the US (except for Austin which is the most livable one lol). The climate is terrible, the sprawl is insane, crime tends to be REALLY high, etc etc etc. Also there's affordable shit in CO, it's just outside of Denver. Denver's a fairly nice city with a high influx of people moving to it, and those people tend to have high wage jobs. It's the law of supply v demand. I've lived in GA, TN, TX and now CO. TX had the cheapest big cities. They all were miserable (don't wanna be too negative bc there were definite pros, like cost of living, but for me personally they did not outweigh the cons.) and I totally understand why it's so cheap to live in TX. GA and TN were fine but I didn't like the political climate and ATL is pricey for what you get. CO is my favorite out of any of them.
Also not sure what budget deficit you're talking about? I'm not saying you're wrong! I just genuinely can't find any info on that specific point. There was budget shortfalls due to COVID, but CO and Denver didn't have deficits -- they balanced their budgets my cutting services (Sadly). For the state it was like $3 billion. For Denver, it was like $119m. Let me know what you're talking about with that point if you don't mind!
@@RabidRiddinRabbits I work 80+ hours a week @ $60+k per year and a low spend. I am 33 and cannot afford a starter home in those areas. My only real option is actually a $250k condo in Cheeseman park or $180k condo in places I wouldn't touch as a kid growing up in the middle class. So no, they aren't cheaper. Hell, rent just crossed $1600 on average for the greater area. Only Pueblo is really noticeably cheaper. 25% of Pueblo lives below the poverty line and the median income is < the minimum wage for 40 hours per week. So, 50% of Pueblo lives below what the state hints at is the poverty line. The median home is still $225k there.
@@jutah yeah, crazy right? technically all of its services are separate as the city of Aurora [trash, water, sewer fire, police, Aurora Public Schools]. It grew so much that it is basically in the major cites list now. The National League of Cities includes it [not Aurora, IL] in its report on the state of cities. Since it used to be a poorer and middle class city for the most part [except South Aurora which is loaded], it inherited good fiscal sense. The only issue is the public schools are god awful. Still, most Colorado public schools don't perform well.
Please do a video driving through Blackhawk, love the mountain view!!
Very nice city, greetings from Italy
nice footage the beautiful city of the denver,love💕 from Malaysia 🇲🇾..
Can you do a video on Minneapolis? It’s a beautiful city.
Are you sure after the riots?
Denver is a very large metro. nice downtown and what i like that its a clean city. not all of Denver is clean but much cleaner then 99.9% of east coast cities. You can definitely tell you in a western city. it has that look for sure. The outline areas of Denver with the rocky Mountains is just stunning!
I live in Colorado and the city is actually pretty small
denver is not clean at all tf you smoking
DROP DEAD! WHAT TF IS YOUR PROBLEM!
@@jake94575 JESUS! dude, why are you like that?! i just don't think it's clean.
@@jonathanielpringlemaniii I didn;t like your delivery. if you good with me , i'm great with you. Denver is like any other big city in many ways. i know they have there bad and good. i wouldn;t live there its too cold and expensive
So is there another vid where you actually 'head into' the rockies? Because that would look stunning in 4k, especially where the great divide comes into shot!
like beyond the foothills? that's a 2-4 hour drive bud
@@andrewevans5750 The i70 westbound looks fab, surely a quick 4k timelapse would do?
@@wellifthemediasaysit from the tunnel to grand junction would be cool or the gas station in downieville to grand junction. From florence to Westcliffe to Salid to alamosa is another drive worth showing
Relatively a big city and home to various business and commercial establishments crowded by skyscrapers.
I love Denver 😍😍
ドライブ動画いつも楽しく見させて頂いてます。何のカメラを使って撮影されてますか？
すごく綺麗なので、参考にさせていただきたいです。
Nice place. Greetings from Indonesia.
denver is the atlanta of the west, very underrated city
Car vlog TOP, muito bom seus vídeos parabéns 👍
I drove cabs here, I've enjoyed watching it.
Great job! Driving in the downtown for half hour... it’s already a challenge!
Denver is a beautiful city, but their airport murals are creepy though.
Yes
Wicked people draw wicked things. Shouldn't surprise you.
Nice trip
Very nice video 🌹
Denver my favorite city 🛣🚘
J Utah you have been missed sir ☺️
Cool video as always ✌🏻
That my city BORN & RAISED in MILE HIGH CITY DENVER CO. 🔥👍👌✌🤗
Great drive, but it looks like a ghost town. Was it shot on a Sunday morning or something? UNIQLO @12:00
Thanks for uploading.
Denver is super liberal so a lot of stuff is still on lockdown and/or closed forever thanks to the pandemic
@@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime So, "thanks to the pandemic" as in thanks to the liberal politicians lockdown.
@@thomaselers7416 I mean, I could have just said due to the pandemic and the fact that's it's winter. That would have been a non partisan yet still factual unbiased statement. What I meant was Denver had and has more restrictions as a result of the pandemic due to its liberal government compared to other parts of the country that are less liberal. Not saying it's a bad thing. There's just less to do when everything is closed so more people stay in.
Nice drive
So beautiful 🤩
Thanks for US and World Tour... !! ⭐⭐⭐
I used to love denver... I don't even recognize it anymore
My stomping grounds! I walk/bike all over this city so it's all so familiar, haha. Thanks for actually giving the pedestrian/dog the right of way. It depresses me how many don't and how many times I would have bit it if I wasn't paying attention. Fuck those who can't wait the few seconds to allow someone to safely cross or just aren't paying attention.
I love watching ur videos, its awesome. Sometimes i feel i dont need to go out as everything i can watch on ur videos👍. One thingbI want to ask, whta fps do u shoot all these and what picture profile?
This video leaves out all the homeless people and their tents that are everywhere around here...
yes exactly
turned before they got to " human feces park" in front of the capital
Thanks Obama 🥴
Please, spare us! This is a driving tour of downtown Denver, not a documentary on homelessness which is a growing, nationwide problem
Your issues with the homeless are ignorant...the video did not “leave out” but rather showcased the reality of the situation, which is pretty darn good. I am from Los Angeles and there are 50-65,000 homeless in Downtown Los Angeles alone. Thank your lucky stars and shut up already.
Very nice 👍 vlog
While the population of the Denver-Aurora Combined Statistical Area was 3,572,798 in 2018 there is a reality about the Denver "area" that Front Range residents and outsiders, alike, seem to miss. Having lived there I discovered that many residents still consider the cities along the said "Front Range" as separate entities as there are still open spaces between them (although you are almost never out of sight of man-made structures). Truth is, the population of the Denver region is much greater than 3.6 million. The Fort Collins metro (population 350,518 in 2018) is contiguous with the Denver metro on the north. To the south, the Denver and Colorado Springs metros have a ten-mile wide designated "open space" between them, near Greenland (in Douglas county). But the metro areas are literally back to back at the Douglas-El Paso, County line. The Colorado Springs metro had a population of 738,939 in 2018. It should be noted that people living in both Fort Collins and the Springs commute to work in Denver. In fact, people are commuting in all directions from the cities along the Front Range, which meets all U.S. Census Bureau criteria necessary to qualify as a single, consolidated statistical unit. As usual, the Census Bureau is very slow in recognizing the existence of facts such as these. Simple arithmetic shows that (in 2018) the Denver-Colorado Springs-Fort Collins combined statistical area had a population of 4,662,257 (nearly equivalent to Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia). Of that number (in 2018), probably 4.25 million lived within one hour of Denver International Airport. The other 400,000 lived not much farther away. In addition, you have the satellite cities (Pueblo and Cheyenne) that bracket the Front Range Urban Corridor (2019 population 4,976,731). With additional growth, the region passed the 5 million mark before the year 2019 was over. We know there has been even more growth since 2019. And the 5 million figure can't possibly include the estimated 200,000 undocumented emigrants that live and work in the region. So, at minimum, in January 2021 the population of this urban corridor must exceed 5.25 million (roughly equivalent to Phoenix or Detroit). Personally, I know people who work in Denver during the week but have weekend homes in Pueblo (120 miles south) and Cheyenne, Wyoming (90 miles north). And Denverites wonder why the streets and highways are getting crowded. Still, they should see the traffic in Los Angeles!
I’m guessing there will be more people out later in the day
