Denver TMB'ers

I mean it’s expensive but worth it imo. Buying a house sucks but taxes are at least pretty good after that

 

I live out in the burbs but I got double the house for $400,000 less than what I sold my house for in south Tampa. So cheaper for me.

 

Have literally no idea about any neighborhoods or burbs in the city. According to the maps app the job is near Lakewood/Bear Creek/Bear Valley area. Would need a house that is minimum 3br, probably 4. Currently have a 25-min commute and hate it. Would love to be close at new potential job, but Denver is big and I’m guessing that’s not realistic.

 

Did it

 

If you land a spot in west Denver your commute could be fine. Good luck.

maybe look in Harvey park?

 

But I also want the house to be nice and also huge and also cheap THOUGHTSSS????

 

I spent like 60% more than I budgeted for my house but location was important to me. Arvada is a good place to look

 

You're probably looking at $650,000 plus for a 4/3 depending on how nice it is. I'm in between Boulder and Golden but technically Arvada. There is a new neighborhood going in across from mine called Trailstone. 4/3's are in the 700s. If you go east into Arvada proper it gets cheaper but the homes are much older.

 

Great intel, thanks. What about a 3/2 or a 3/3?

 

Mostly saw around 750 and up for a 3/2 in Englewood.

 

Moving back in March and house hunting for a place to renovate near cheseman or city park. *bart Scott can’t wait*

 

siap

So, at DIA they closed the level 5 north security checkpoint and basically moved it up to level 6?

Closed the bridge to A and will also do the same thing on the south end?

 

Highly recommend the bar Bedlam downtown

 

Hey, welcome back.

 

I landed a 3/2 in north park hill for about 650. Wild times out there.

 

Is Littleton cool at all? Some decently affordable Zillows out that way. How far is it from actual Denver?

 

Moved from City Park area to the Columbine Valley area of Littleton about 2 years ago and love it. Go to downtown Littleton quite a bit. Good food and drink options there and more keep popping up. Downtown Denver option is only 20 minutes away with no traffic. Also have two small girls so suburb life was inevitable so this is also me coping with that

 

It has some worthwhile stuff. Near some state parks. About 30 mins from downtown Denver without traffic. You also might live near the D line, which would make life easy.

 

A lot of restaurants have a “Littleton” location. One of Denver’s 3 Alamo’s are there. It does make it a haul to the airport, but otherwise seems cool as far as suburbs go

 

Any recommendations on Christmas themed activities or must see Christmas things?

 

Christkindlmarket at civic center is a good time

 

I don't love geeks who drink for trivia any other organizations you guys like?

However, DBC Lowry has elite good for a brewery.

 

Just went tonight. Wasn’t bad.

I’d also recommend the pop up bars at adrift, death and co, or Hell or high water.

 

Station 26 trivia always seems well run but not sure who does it. My friend does the Tuesday trivia at recess.

 

Botanic Gardens Christmas lights.

 

anyone been to la foret?

 

Any recommendations for a good bar near Empower Field before the broncos game?
Friends want to Jefferson park pub but it’s gonna be insanely busy.

 

Does it need to be like a short walk to the stadium?

 

Ideally but doesn’t have to be

 

Occidental is a good spot for watching games and pre gaming.

little machine is a solid brewery definitely within walking distance.

also, I love Wally’s on the edge of downtown.

 

Denver, I am in you.

 

I knew I felt a cosmic shift

 

Golfed in Aurora today, weather was nice, golf game was not.

 

Any movie people have any idea how to find out where and when The Brutalist will be shown in Denver or any front range theaters? Google not helping, shockingly.

 

I read that it is only coming out this week in LA and NY in VERY limited theaters. and will get a wider release in January (similar to how A24 handled Zone of Interest last year). So there is really no way to know. I feel your pain, I wanted to see it this week.

have to settle for Nosferatu I guess

 

Thanks, that does explain why I only got Imax hits in LA/NY.

 

anyone ever able to get a reservation with casa bonita? is it even worth it?

 

kinda stopped trying, even though I probably could at this point. not sure if it is worth it. I'm sure reddit has a good recent thread on it somewhere

 

I went a few weeks ago with my wife and kids. It’s like $40 a person for chips and salsa, an entrée and the sopapillas. Slightly cheaper for kids. The drinks aren’t very good and are crazy expensive.

my kids had a ton of fun. I was over it after about an hour. Seems fun for nostalgia reasons, though I see no reason I’ll be going back. We just got the normal meal for all four of us and my wife and I both ordered double margaritas. The bill was over $200.

 

That’s outrageous.

 

$200 bill for mexican food is wild

 

It's a fun thing to do once but that's probably enough.

Get the taco salad, everything else is mid

 

I watched the documentary on Casa Bonita after going. Can't believe they put $40 million in that place for essentially Trey Parker nostalgia reasons.

 

You can get reservations week of by calling a bunch and checking to see if anyone cancelled. There’s usually a few but you gotta be on top of it

 

You can also just sign up for their free loyalty program thing and you get early access to reservations. I just don’t want them anymore.

 

Went to Meow Wolf in Santa Fe. One in Denver is much better

 

Gonna order me some Peter’s this weekend.

 

This fog has been insane, especially in Morrison

 

Noticed a little bit north of Coors has snow, but there's nothing on the ground 2-3 blocks south of Coors.
