@jf5tul @chris_stritzel There are going to be game being played late into the night on an international schedule. This would drum up quite a bit of business for bars in the area which now look like they’ll be missing out on even more expected revenue. Make it <10% ABV bevs only or something

@chris_stritzel nothing good happens after midnight then add in more alcohol and you're just asking for trouble.

I see no problem with this.
Mayor Q@QuintonLucasKC
I respect fun. I respect freedom. But, Kansas City doesn't need bars operating 23 hours. I've introduced an item that would leave bar operating hours to their standard operating times (3AM some; 1:30 others; etc) during the World Cup--rather than 23 hours permitted by the state.

The 2010’s era Denver propaganda was crazy

Today I learned that Denver is a Great Plains city.

@2024dion Tampa, Greenville, KC, SLC and Columbus all feel like they have the momentum to get there. And all pretty much coming at it from different directions. Maybe even charleston

Portland, Denver, Austin, and Nashville are midsized metros that have been labeled The Next Big Thing at various times over the past couple decades. Which city is next?

@steamedmocha @DukesDukeDukes @rtm3461 @Eric_Erins You picked a perfect place to go to given your preferences, Chicago is an amazing city. I did the reverse and moved to denver from Chicago because I eventually learned that I loved the endless outdoors more than the Chi city amenities. Different strokes for different folks
English
@DukesDukeDukes @HopscotchJimmy @rtm3461 @Eric_Erins you’re both right, I’m from Denver and moved to Chicago - people ask me what I miss the most, it’s the weather/nature, people ask me why I stay in Chicago, it’s the walkability and Interesting Stuff. Denver is absolutely the best in the country for outdoorsy folk though
English
@dvdcfrm @citadel_ops @Eric_Erins While you’re definitely right, I think many people made up their minds before they even got off the tarmac when they were disappointed they weren’t landing in the mountains lol. I’ve never seen anyone advertise denver as a mountain town so I’m not sure why outsiders think that
English
@HopscotchJimmy @citadel_ops @Eric_Erins COMPLETELY agree. I think too many people ended up here for a conference or bachelor party and only wandered around LoDo or RiNo for 48 hours before making up their minds...Also, it was founded as a dusty cowtown so it's evolution to now is very impressive from that lens

@kilgoredatrout @DukesDukeDukes @rtm3461 @Eric_Erins That’s pretty harsh to call it propaganda lol, it’s in the same county and is a 20 min ride from downtown. If you want to get technical then the 350 residents of Morrison can claim it and nobody else, but that’s not really the way this works.
English
@HopscotchJimmy @DukesDukeDukes @rtm3461 @Eric_Erins “Coolest music venue in the world” - yes, RR is that. But claiming that it is IN Denver is more of this propaganda. Boulder & Golden could claim RR is “in” their city as much as Denver lol
English
@dvdcfrm @citadel_ops @Eric_Erins It’s become popular the past few years to dump on Denver and I’m not really sure why that is. I’m not saying it’s the best city out there, but much of the criticism is just plain wrong

@citadel_ops @HopscotchJimmy @Eric_Erins It’s interesting how it flew over the country to the Burlington, VT area. Is there anywhere else super crunchy like that? Maybe like northern MN?
English
@citadel_ops @Eric_Erins Denver’s is a less yuppie version (barely) that was born out of ski bum lifestyle. They’re cousins of each other but not quite the same. There’s also some Mexican influence, as breakfast burritos might be the most common breakfast in the area for eating on your way to activities
English
@HopscotchJimmy @Eric_Erins Feel like that’s a west coast thing that spread to Denver.
REI started in seattle, granola bars came from Cali etc…

@SendInTheGuard @theepicmap No denver resident claims that they live in the mountains
English
@theepicmap Anyone who lives in Denver and says they live in the mountains is completely full of shit. They have to drive over an hour and a half to get there. Gets to be over 100° in the summer and gets to be below zero in the winter, disgusting city.
English
@SendInTheGuard @Eragor54932272 @theepicmap If you’re going to call the front range “hills”, then you’re going to have to have an uncomfortable conversation with the majority of Appalachia. A conversation in which you will be wrong.
English
@Eragor54932272 @theepicmap Those are hills you dumb shit, the first mountains you can get to from Denver is going to be from Estes park. 1 hour 30 min drive from the airport with no traffic. Golden should be named brown because it’s disgusting
English
@citadel_ops @Eric_Erins Granola outdoorsy is the culture in Denver, and it’s extremely recognizable everywhere you go lol
English
@Eric_Erins It’s wild to me that for such a seemingly relevant city it has basically no recognizable cultural flare or identity. If boiled chicken was a city.
English
@DukesDukeDukes @rtm3461 @Eric_Erins Incredible weather, coolest music venue in the country, amazing views, kind people, unlimited outdoor activities even if you exclude the mountains. Oh and then world class mountains right next door

@rtm3461 @Eric_Erins what's so great about denver?
obv being in colorado is a huge plus, but i've been a few times and didn't particularly love it

@moisquesito @NSXANGEL @vinaykillawala Chuck was on the Dream Team and Kenny played with Jordan at UNC

kenny askin draymond “what does that look like” was a great way of letting the audience know draymond didnt know wtf he was talking about
Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing
Things got a little tense on the 'Inside the NBA set when Draymond took a shot at Chuck's final years in Houston 😬
