Better Downtown: Denver vs. Minneapolis (places, bigger, south, living)

[mattywo85]

I like both downtown's honestly but I like Denver's more. They are both great cities with a lot to offer just comes down to personal preference really. The only thing that bugs me about Minneapolis is that before going there I was told that people from MN were some of the friendliest people in the states but I honestly didn't get that vibe at all.

I think I see more people hanging out and walking in Denver even in winter time.

Given how much colder Minneapolis typically is than Denver (or any other major city in the US) in the winter, this makes sense.

Just because you dont want to say its there doesnt negate the fact that it is there. I agree withe sentiment though, its a large vacant park for most of the year.

Good grief, it's open all or part of six months a year.
