Colorado, from a New Yorker's point of view

Differences between NY & CO

by Mr. New to Denver on Sep.07, 2009, under Differences between NY & CO

As a New Yorker who has recently found himself living in Denver each day I come across numerous situations which are different from what one would find back east.  Some are good and some bad.  I’m not going to comment about the obvious differences, such as the mountains, being landlocked, the better weather, the friendlier fitter people etc.  I’m mostly going to focus on the interesting or weird things I’ve noticed.  I’ll also pay particular attention to some of the more progressive or backwards things I’ve come across.

View the slide show, read the captions and you’ll learn about some of the differences I’ve noticed since moving to Denver about a month ago.

This would never work in NY. It is the honor system for parking. You park, put a few bucks into the slot and that's it. I assume periodically someone comes and checks. I haven't yet figured out how much to put in or how long it is good for.
