Welcome to Denver, Colorado. A.K.A "The Mile-High City"

Denver was given that name because it is exactly 5,280 feet from sea level. The city has beautiful scenery with it's lush green landscape and is definitely a place worth visiting. Denver is known to have four distinct seasons and people flock here from all over the world to see the Rocky Mountains that surround it to the east. Colorado also has a great skiing and snowboarding city by the name of Aspen that was mentioned in Dumb and Dumber, but Denver also is a very impressive geographical area.
Here are some interesting did you know facts: Denver, lays claim to the invention of the cheeseburger....Colfax Avenue in Denver is the longest continuous street in America.......The 13th step of the capital building is exactly 5,280 ft from sea level.

The Changing South

-The geographical advantages that Denver has are the Colorado River, Rockies, and where gold was discovered in Colorado at Pike's Peak shown below


-The majority of people are Protestant, Christian or have a Roman Catholic background in Colorado, which would lead me to believe that Denver has these three main religions incorporated into it's city.
-As stated in the book, Denver boomed as a result of people moving from the South in order to get into the manufacturing market.  In creating such a strong metropolitan and having a strong environmental resume, greenery like this will provide an awe inspiring view for residents.
