Agreed. The Olympics are a money pit. Host cities spend billions on infrastructure that is in large part thrown away when the games are done. No thanks.

Summer games are mostly entertaining, but the Winter games are basically watching who had richer parents to be able to move to Aspen so their kid could ski all winter. Most of the other games are sliding down a hill. I love hockey, but its basically NHL hockey with different teams, then the players get hurt during the olympics or are too tired for the rest of the NHL season.

Oh, the Olympics are fun! We went to Salt Lake in 2002 and had a blast. We saw a hockey game, Sweden vs Czech Republic. Several NIL players including some members of the Penguins played.

Yea, that smell from the dog food factory is only second to the refinery from CC. However, the infrastructure appears to be built out to its max.

Oh yeah, the trough stall. I grew up with them at good ol' Jack Murphy in San Diego (speaking of dumps).

Once I-70 is sunk through that stretch it will make it pretty. All of the ugliness will be out sight.

I'm surprised that no one has bitched about the smell coming from the sewage treatment plant next to the refinery in Commerce City.

It's a shame you missed it when Harry was there . . . he was drunk by the 3rd inning.

I do have some positives about Denver, however you will need to earn them through respect.
LOL!..now who's being rude? Are you the OP? didn't think so, so why be defensive on his/her behalf? Silly stuff..now pass the bong please..
