Denver, like, say Albuquerque, is one of those Western cities that, to an Eastern/Northener, seems totally boring and bland. Which it is, to some extent. Then again, it's sunny all the fucking time, it doesn't get THAT cold, and the mountains are nearby.

Pleasant. My friend is going to med school there.

Wisconsin
Iowa
