Is anything ever going to be done about it? My car instantly gets engulfed with the smell of raw Taco Bell sewage as soon as I approach I-25 on park ave. Seems like every few weeks they shut down a couple of lanes on park ave northbound in the intersection to dig under the road, but seems like every time they do the smell just gets worse.

I am planning to move to Lo Hi in May after completing my undergrad! For those who live in/near the area what are your favorite aspects and spots? What is the general vibe of the population? How is the social culture? I've done research on the area but without being there it's hard to get a read on the people which is important for me! (I am a 23 year old woman who is creative/crafty, enjoys some nightlife but also spaces for intellectual discussion and getting some fresh air outdoors)

I had seen them at a specific King Soopers and then never saw them again. I googled to see whwre they'd be available so I've been to 3-4 different ones since then and a few Safeways. Didn't have them anywhere. Where tf can i find these stupid chips 😭😭

hi everyone!

I am currently a university student who has received a summer internship offer in Denver. I am from Houston and love nature and want to explore as much of it as possible while in Colorado. I know Denver isn’t super close to the well known nature places such as RMNP, Telluride, etc. But I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations on how to spend weekends while I’m up there! I don’t mind a drive.

Thank you all in advance!

I was working in my office in a meeting for work, and I look outside and look up and notice what I thought could be a plane then noticed this “plane” didn’t have any wings on it! My office faces east and the object was moving west, South/west. The object looked tik takish at first but when I took a video of it it basically looks like a glowing white orb since it’s so far away. Did anyone else see this? Could this have been a piece of trash or weather balloon? I would say no based off the way it was moving and it was too high to be a drone.

For the life of me I can't remember the bars name. It's got some swing seats around a table off to the side kinda? Darker lit I think but I may be mixing it up with somewhere else.

Give me your insider secrets, I beg of thee.

does anyone know what the two random white objects currently floating over Denver are? they've been moving south over the past few minutes

Very different perspective in this op-ed than what I normally see in this sub.

Just came from the Julia wolf concert and it was fkin lit. Shoutout to everybody who showed up and showed out and one of her biggest shows. Crowd was wild and everyone was so kind. Huge shout out to my black brothers and sisters who were straight vibing. Stay up and stay safe out there ya heard

✌🏾

Not sure why the 15 was running on 14th instead of Colfax - took a left turn from the middle lane probably trying to get back to Colfax.

Power just went out out in our building here in Sloans lake. Anyone else having troubles?

Update: just checked the outage map and yuuup Lotta people out right now. Expected uptime is projected around 3pm it says, though I’m not sure if that’s accurate.

Update 2: we back, probably gonna delete in a little

I recently started receiving spravato treatments from a clinic in South Denver. The whole process was a mess and the clinic was not nice about it. It was also very obvious that my medical information was being shared among staff which was uncomfortable.

My biggest concern is that I was not given any consent forms to sign until after my second dose of spravato. By that I mean they gave me two out of the three nasal sprays for my session and then handed me paperwork. I have no idea what I signed. Two days ago, I overslept and missed an appointment. They charged me $325, citing their financial agreement. I looked at said agreement- missed appointment fee is $100. Not really sure what to do with that.

My final issue is that after I paid the fee, I asked them to cancel all upcoming appointments and begin transfer of care- essentially I fired them. For whatever reason, I was asked by the pharmacy providing the spravato if I would like to approve the shipments before they went to the clinic. I said yes bc they’d been being weird for a while, but then today I got a notification that the medication had been delivered without my approval. It’s a heavily controlled substance so I’m not sure how that works, if they just dispose of it, but that would be annoying bc meds are expensive.

Anyways, my new clinic said that none of this sounds like the regular procedure, which is what I had thought (this is my third time doing spravato) so now I’m wondering if you fine folks can offer any insight 🤪

Oh also they started me at 84mg dosage which is unusual. Every induction period I’ve heard of starts at 54mg and then goes up from there. A little concerned about that too bc I have tachycardia which makes the spravato a little dicey to begin with.

Ok— i’m starting to think this might’ve been a fever dream because no one remembers and there’s NO evidence of it online.

Does anyone remember a glass ferret habitat/playground in the basement at Lakeside Mall in the 90s? I think it was right around the time the mall started shutting down in its last days. You couldn't touch them—you watched them through glass while they ran through tubes.

I remember being fascinated by this as a kid. I wanted a ferret SO BAD 🤣

Anyone, anyone?!

Recently moved from NYC to Denver and love going out to clubs on Halloween! It’s finally hitting on a Saturday again, but I hear clubbing is pretty nonexistent here with the 2AM closing times and nightlife is mostly just bars or breweries.

Aiming for mainstream EDM or pop ish vibes (convincing friends who don’t usually club). I’m personally used to lines, cover fees, and a generally younger sloppier crowd for Halloweekend, but we’re all just over 30 and I’d like for them to not hate the experience surrounded by just college kids throwing up lol.

Is there anything even close to the vibe I’m looking for? And if not, anything other bar or party that would be a fun time?

Amendment 82 seems like a way for fossil fuel executives and shareholders to rake in even more profits, all while pretending to care about the little guy.

Why are we enshrining special protections for a for-profit industry into our state constitution?

Xcel Energy alone raked in hundreds of millions of dollars in net profits from fossil fuels in Colorado last year, and the year before that, and the year before that... and that's with the Public Utility Commission only allowing a portion of what they asked for. (And Xcel is actually one of the better ones in the industry. I'm so glad Denver at least has Xcel and not Black Hills or Atmos.)

It's weird that people think fossil fuel executives and shareholders will start caring about them and their bills if this passes, instead of scheming how they can use their new constitutional protection to get even more profits. Beyond building codes, what other health and safety regulations or zoning codes will they try to overturn?

They are trying to scare everyone into thinking if they don't vote for this, they won't have heat. They are trying to manipulate people into believing that natural gas is "clean, reliable, and affordable" when it's none of those. It's not that simple. Honestly, none of the other options are perfect or simple either -- but they do exist, they do work fine for a lot of Coloradoans, and they're not scheming for special favors enshrined in the constitution.

I've heard it compared to if Xfinity tried to get a "right to cable" into our state constitution.

Anyone here know how to pick specific seats when booking shows at the Buell theater? I am looking at their ticketing site and a few other apps like stubhub. None of them show where the seats are located other than the row and section number. How do people pick where they want to sit? I really like aisle seats due to being a bit claustrophobic and am having a hard time finding out how to get them.

Downtown Denver has an opportunity to emerge from the post-pandemic reset with a stronger, more diversified urban core built around far more than the traditional five-day office economy, according to a new report by the Downtown Denver Partnership.

Interesting “study.” I’m assuming DDA funded this? I respect the guy’s optimism. I hope he’s right. It’s a good opportunity to evolve.

For those who don’t want to click, here is an excerpt:

“Where does Florida see Denver’s opportunities?

Florida’s report on Denver summarizes the city’s downtown investments and projects, from new sports stadiums to the potential transformation of Speer Boulevard.

Rather than laying out specific block-by-block recommendations, it fits into a larger effort to inspire new confidence and enthusiasm for the city’s core, including a separate $2.5 million marketing campaign coordinated by business boosters.

The Central Business District was) built as one large, relatively homogeneous office district,” the report states. “Today, the larger downtown is a mosaic of smaller, more specialized districts, each with its own functions and identity. The CBD must be reimagined in the same way — as a series of smaller micro-districts organized around nightlife and music, outdoor recreation and the outdoor economy, innovation, culture, food, and new forms of work.”

That includes a lot more housing, with the city hoping to double downtown’s population to 70,000 within 20 years. Mayor Mike Johnston has tried to catalyze that change, including with the Downtown Development Authority’s tax-backed $500 million-plus investment package.

“I know it's hard to imagine, but it's almost like the old Central Business District is the SoHo or TriBeCa or equivalent neighborhood of our time, and it's interesting to imagine it that way,” Florida said, referring to the New York City neighborhoods that turned from vacant warehouse zones into artist lofts and luxury residential hubs.”

I found it!

Balance Plumbing, Jeremiah to be exact. I don’t think there’s a webpage, but they do have a Facebook page.

Jeremiah knows these systems. It is great to finally have an expert on the subject!

hello!! i have a 2015 subaru legacy and my horn has stopped working. i am 99% sure it is the clock spring in the steering wheel that needs fixed/replaced/etc.

I'm currently going through a tough custody battle, and the details of the case are pretty awful. I find it hard to open up to my friends and family about what me and my son are dealing with. Many of my close friends are coworkers, and letting this stuff out into the workplace would let it become fodder for gossip.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any support groups that might allow me to tackle some of this with strangers?

I'm currently attending regular therapy, so I'm not just trying to pawn my issues off on other people instead of getting help, but I think I need a little more support than can be found in my life currently.

I have an unusual request. AI has really blown up my industry and I am looking into some totally different career options, and Radiology Tech has caught my eye. I was wondering if there happens to be any Denver RTs here on reddit that would be willing to chat and/or perhaps let me shadow them to get an idea of what the job is like? It's so drastically different from what I was doing before, and a fair bit of schooling to get into, so I would love to do anything I can to get a feel for what it's like in practice. Will of course buy you lunch/coffee/six-pack depending on your preference to say thanks.
