It's a fact that CO has taller mountains. I don't care, that shouldn't bother anyone, I'm just curious as to whether these people are teasing, or if they are really serious.

You're more embarrassing than ToysNoiz.

You know what's funny about all this? I know the Denver folk here on SSP and we're a bunch of light hearted, chill people. So I guarantee every single one of us is giggling, and laughing during all of this because we don't really care. You guys have your own thing going on and we're here to poke fun. Plaid Shirts gets it. He gets that this is a silly forum and the rest of you look like fools because you are taking all this to heart. Like I told you, if Seattle were to come in and do the same thing, we would be laughing and having a good time with it all.

That's the sole reason why I don't like interacting with SLC on here, you guys are buzz kills and take everything way too seriously. I really like Boise because they're the chill little brother that loves what they have going on and are very accepting of their size.

Why is Denver so 'negative' on our side of things? We're not. We know what Denver is capable of through trends and RESEARCH so we are disappointed when we're not getting it and know that Denver can do better. That can come off as negative but we are very prideful people and we have evidence to back it.

TL;DR CALM DAWN. Plaid Shirts gets it..

With love,

Denver

It's true, SLC people need to lighten up. This is coming from a SLCer.

Denver is a great city, so is SLC. Just in different ways. Even though Denver has more to offer

Exactly. I really want to go to SLC one day to fulfill the curiosity of what you guys have going on there. Yes SLC'ers.. I want to travel there, take lots of photos, add it to my city collection. I'm sure you have a lot to offer there as well.

As a side note, we Denverites don't think Denver is the best city in the western hemisphere at all. We have a ton of work to do and we know we will never be a LA, SF, NYC, etc.. We would never want to aspire to that. It seems like you guys do though.. We are realists. We know the flaws Denver has, which is a long list, but we also know what Denver is good at. Every region needs a leader, and I hate to break it to you, but Denver is the leader of the Mountain West region. There's nothing you can do to debate that. Current growth is a great indicator of that statement.

You guys rock at things Denver doesn't rock at as well. Oh well. That's an issue with every city on the globe and we're fine with that. We're not going to throw tantrums and make fools of ourselves, we're going to accept it and see how we can improve it.

Then there's me. I'm a pig that likes to be in the mud.

ToysNoiz · #**1307** Posted **Feb 14, 2014, 12:58 AM**

All love. I suppose that these posts just come off as being condescending. It felt like everything was better just because it was in CO. And I'm sorry if I've made a fool out of myself, I was just honestly shocked by what was said. I'll get off here now.

Well yeeeah.. That's because it is

Haha.. I would love to see SLC make itself a 'real place' in the eyes of more than the USA. Denver is barely there but we're making pretty big strides to get there. SLC had the Olympics, which helps but, like Denver, we're still pretty effin' tiny dots on the map.. Grow my child. Take pride in what you are and not what you aspire to be, or else you all are just going to be constantly negative, pissed off, and sour to anyone who is bigger and better than you.

Also, during this whole debate, I was really disappointed by the lack of facts and sources from your guys' end. No reports to back up anything, no credible sources. That's what backs up our confidence, we can prove everything in an instant. I'm sure your city office puts out similar reports. Better be ready next time big 'ol Denver rolls around again..

Seventwenty.. That makes no sense..

This thread has been entertaining the past few days.

Thanks for the brotherly comments RyanD.

I want to add that Boise is not insecure about itself and this city is high on civic pride thus translating to how us here at SSP behave. Boise has a strong identity and is sometimes at war with itself because there are those of us Boiseans who like the growth and there are some living here who don't like the fact Boise is growing and their paradise is changing.

Each of the three capitol cities represented in this forum serves up their own special and unique qualities to the table.

You know damn well what I meant, Ryan. Now I'm gonna defile all of your neighborhoods bars.

Uptown bars? Psh have at it. My secret gems lie elsewhere.. Just call if you need moral support here in Uptown. The crowd is pretty ruthless here.

The Dirt · #**1312** Posted **Feb 14, 2014, 2:02 AM**

Why are you guys all forgetting about Pueblo? As a city home to 4 Medal of Honor recipients, its certainly the Mountain West leader in courage. What's all this talk about mountains and skiing when you don't have the most important tourist amenity - a riverwalk? Pueblo happens to have the only (hense #1) downtown river walk in the region. I could go on but, I won't. None of your so-called cities can hold a candle to the beacon on the hill that is the City of Pueblo.

bunt_q · #**1313** Posted **Feb 14, 2014, 2:09 AM**

Oh Dirt, we were all only ever arguing over second place. I thought everybody knew that.

RyanD · #**1314** Posted **Feb 14, 2014, 2:29 AM**

So I'm watching the Olympics right now and they just said this word for word: "A suburb of sleepy Salt Lake City, Utah..."

It is true. It seems like everything in the SLC metro are closes around 10pm. The downtown SLC nightlife is pretty lame as well.

RyanD · #**1316** Posted **Feb 14, 2014, 3:01 AM**

They were doing a story on someone so they were like, so and so lives in [I don't remember the name], a suburb of sleepy Salt Lake City. But hey, SLC is on national TV so there is a pro to their con description..
