Make other cities envy us, Denver! - Page 3

Except that mine is real and verifiable. Do you mean to tell me you deny that employer participation in workers' retirements hasn't decreased in recent decades? You think the 401k is equal to the pensions of old? Please. A minuscule percentage of Americans have savings with which they can expect to retire at even half their working salary. Social security only replaces about a third of it.

It's not black helicopters if you can go to the social security administration website and verify in 30 seconds or less... fact: few people will enjoy a retirement equivalent to even a shoddy public pension.

The building behind it is SLC's library, designed by Moshe Safdie. At least I would consider them distinctive.

I was going to guess Boise. I'm used to seeing the temple in the skyline shots and that's how I identify the place. To be fair, I've only been to Salt Lake City once and to Boise never so I'm not familiar with the cities.

I knew it was SLC, but only because I've seen a lot of SLC threads on SSP.

Awesome material in this thread...keep it up guys...

...lame title...

Looking forward to a Denver trip at the end of August.

Definitely a different angle of SLC, but the glowing U on the hill side should be the clincher.

Here you go, from my last visit to Denver.

What a wonderful thread on Denver, such beautiful photo's of your city. I really enjoy it when locals post photo's of their city, they know the best angles of their skyline, day, night, or whatever. Thank you for posting all those photo's of your beautiful city!

Thanks for the picture tour of your beautiful city.

So I'm just curious as to why you SLC guys haven't really taken any effort to showcase your city. Please, like you always try to do, out do us. Where's your SLC videos? Where's your attempt to make your city look awesome...? I wouldn't spend 180 hours on that video if I thought Denver was an ugly shit hole.

Omaha, for christ sake, has a similar video. Sure, it's just Omaha, but it's still a great, awesome effort to showcase their city. Show me your guys' attempt to showcase SLC dude.
