The North Pacific Coast

-When you look at the overall landscape of Denver, it is beautiful.  It might have its flaws of smog in the downtown district on certain days, but the scenery is very appealing.  Due to precipitation occurring in the Spring, the city has a very green appearance.
-The railroads were what made Denver the city it is today.  When the mining was booming at such a fast pace, the railroads were used in order to ship the mined goods to other cities and states.  The Union Station found in the city is used as part of the light rail system and part of Amtrak.  The city uses its light rail system as one of the main modes of public transportation.
-Denver does not make any list as far as ranking as a livable city, but had a median household income of 60,344 in 2008 (MetroDenver).
