..."Beulah Red" is the name of the red marble that gives the Colorado State Capital its distinctive splendor. Cutting, polishing, and installing the marble in the Capital took six years, from 1894 to 1900. All of the "Beulah Red" marble in the world went into the Capital. It cannot be replaced, at any price?

...Denver lays claim to the invention of the cheeseburger? The trademark for the name Cheeseburger was awarded in 1935 to Louis Ballast.

Based on Gee!'s criteria for what makes a great city, here is a potential list:

1) Compton, CA
2) El Paso, TX
3) Sacramento, Ca
4) Salem, OR
5) Midland, TX

Fixed that for you.

...Colfax Avenue in Denver is the longest continuous street in America?

Urban legend has it that Colfax Avenue in metro Denver -- US 40 from Golden through Denver to east Aurora -- is the longest street in the U.S. at 27 miles. Wrong! I've found a handful that are 10 miles longer, including El Camino Real in south metro San Francisco, Telegraph Road in west metro Detroit, and Sepulveda Boulevard in west metro Los Angeles. I've also heard Colfax referred to as the longest "commercial street" in the country, but that's such an ambiguous phrase there's no way to confirm that.

They recently lengthened Colfax 10.1 miles to the East. So, suck it.

...Colorado has more microbreweries per capita than any other state?

...Denver has the largest city park system in the nation with 205 parks in City limits and 20,000 acres of parks in the nearby mountains?

..."Beulah Red" is the name of the red marble that gives the Colorado State Capital its distinctive splendor. Cutting, polishing, and installing the marble in the Capital took six years, from 1894 to 1900. All of the "Beulah Red" marble in the world went into the Capital.

They've cleaned colfax up quite a bit--especially the east end in Denver--now it's a pretty hip place and not at all seedy. You would have had a point 10 years ago, but now with the exception of really just a few blocks, it's a pretty nice street.

I spent a winter in Denver and all in all loved the weather - snow never stayed that long - could get hit with a storm on wednesday and then spend the weekend barbequing at the resevoir in 70 degree weather

Denver sucks and Anthem is boring.. There is nothing left to discuss people.. Ive said what I had to say.. You all are just making yourself look foolish by debating this with me.. Now, please, do yourselves a favor and stop..
