From the post "DENVER IS WAY...": "I can't tell you the number of times I've tried to communicate with locals only to be met with an open-nouthed vacant stare" - I would second this. And I have spoken with many other people that have visited or moved here that would third this. It is a bit of a strange phenomenon here in Denver that might have something to do with the general culture here - even people from elsewhere can take on this kind of mentality that might be considered "shallow". But the weather sure is nice... (if you like sunny days, most every day) As for Denver drivers, it is a very mixed bag, as there are many people from small midwestern and mountain western places here...yet, there is the occasional Californian or New Yorker, for example (that is used to a more synergistic and "seasoned" traffic situation), that gets frustrated with some of the general driving habits here (which can be a blend of fearfulness and "friendliness" to the point of "utter inefficiency"), thus rubbing others not accustomed to assertion the wrong way.
