identity

8/9/2007
I think the identity thing is true about Denver. I think it's changing so quickly and plastically that it has lost some senses of identity. A bit like an airport or shopping mall with wonderful views through the windows. As for a previous comment on missing the "treehuggers" in Denver, that seems curious to me - maybe that's the way it was decades ago (though I doubt that - it's been very much a boom and bust oil, cattle, etc. town, till relatively recently [real estate and mortgages was it's latest boom and bust] so...) Denver is very NOT a treehugger place. It's a drive over the mountians, and the river and through the woods...in your SUV. "I LOVE nature...it's my playground" kinds of things, often times.
