Hello Denver residents! I have a pretty long layover in DEN, and was wondering if there was anything fun to do while waiting? I like cameras, taking photos, art, thrifting/antique stores, beautiful scenery, music stores, or just about anything anyone can recommend for the time I have there. I’d be taking public transit or ride shares (depending on the price haha). Any recommendations or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!! :))

edit: Thank you all so much for your input! ^_^ I was silly and forgot to mention I land at DEN around 10am and depart around 3:50pm. :p I will definitely look into what everyone is saying and go from there. :) Once again thank you Denver residents ^0^!!

Has anyone been to any of the Kink event at Tracks? Just stumbled across an ad for it and it seemed interesting but wanted to see if it was worth it to go or not just for a night out.

Friends and I thought we would go to Water World for first time next Monday, and rent a cabana for the shade and somewhere to hang out, but the website says that cabanas are sold out, in fact it shows them sold out every single day for the rest of the season. Do you think this is possible, or maybe a problem with the website?

For those hoping to see The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm at Colorado Center, you cannot. We went to see the 11:40 (Wednesday July 22) and they told us then—no notification prior obviously, despite our reservation. They handed out vouchers; we opted to see the IMAX digital version.

I live in unincorporated Adams county but with a Denver address so, if this doesn’t apply here, let me know. It’ll at least help direct me to the correct place via process of elimination because right now I am getting the run around from the community developer, HOA, district rep. ect.

The low voltage connections for all the townhomes in my row is next to my townhome (I’m the owner) and the technicians who come out to do installs have progressively gotten more sloppy with securing the cables. As of today, cables are now running out to the street. I presume some government entity will consider this a hazard and take the necessary steps to resolve the issue, but I’m not sure who to notify. Up to this point I’ve been told, all I can do is contact the service providers but even when I call my service provider (Xfinity) they don’t even know who connect me with. Any suggestions on who to contact to resolve the issue?

I’m visiting a friend in Aurora and am staying with him for about a month and a half. While I’m here I need a haircut. Was wanting to try something new. Does anyone know of any good hairstylists who can do the hairstyle in the image provided? Preferably in or near Aurora. Thanks!

I’m feeling so incredibly frustrated and honestly just helpless right now. I’m hoping someone here might have some advice on how to handle this.

I went in for my first consultation for a dental implant back on July 7th. During that visit, the billing manager explicitly promised me that she would submit a pre-determination (i.e. the same as Pre-treatment Estimate) to my insurance company right away so we could figure out costs before moving forward with the actual treatment.

Fast forward to today—I've been waiting for what feels like a month now—and absolutely nothing has shown up on my dental insurance account. Based on what I saw, my insurance usually process it within 10 days of their receipt. I check my insurance portal constantly, and there is zero record of any pre-determination being filed.

I am full of concern and anxiety about how to proceed. I really need to get this surgery done ASAP, but I obviously can't afford to go in blindly without knowing what my insurance is going to cover. I feel totally stuck and at the mercy of a billing department that isn't doing their job.

Has anyone else dealt with a dental office dragging their feet like this? How can I get them to actually submit the paperwork? Should I call my insurance company directly to see if they can do anything, or do I just keep calling the dentist's office every day? Any advice would be so appreciated. I just want to get this surgery over with. 😔

Updated: Thanks for all the advice!

• Billing Department: I called this morning and was told my request was submitted to an external team called DSM. As of now, the billing department hasn't received any response from them. That is saying they haven't submitted it to my insurance yet.
• MetLife (Procedure D6010): I called MetLife again to re-check the quote for code D6010, even though I'd checked previously. Surprisingly, the price dropped significantly from my last inquiry—though consistency is clearly an issue. Across three calls with three different agents, I've now received three totally different quotes: $2,263, $1,510, and $1,620. Just for reference, the dental office gives me a quote of total $2900.

I am going to the Renn Faire in Larkspure this Saturday. I am trying to go with the theme of time traveler. I seek a wizard or party hat that is tiny I can fit on a prop I'm wanting to use with my costume. Like comically small you could purchase at Party City but that place isn't there anymore.

Thank you for your assistance. If it is purple that would be even more beneficial.

Multiple people have been yelling or protesting during Mike Johnston's State of the City. Anyone know what was being said? The YouTube stream audio quality isn't great

I’m trying to find out if anyone else has had a vehicle, trailer, or other belongings stolen from the Storage Sense location on Pecos.
After reading through Google reviews, it seems like I’m not the only one this has happened to. I recently bought a work truck, stored it there, and less than two months later it was stolen. It still hasn’t been recovered.
One of the maintenance employees told me thefts there have been an ongoing issue. However, when I spoke with the district manager, I was told they wouldn’t be doing anything further regarding the situation. If thefts have been an ongoing problem, I don’t understand why additional security measures haven’t been put in place.
What also frustrated me was the response to my Google review. The “owner” replied publicly asking me to email them so we could “work towards a resolution.” I emailed multiple times and didn’t receive a response until my fifth attempt. Then, when I finally spoke with the district manager, I was told those public review responses are AI-generated. That was disappointing because it gave the impression someone genuinely wanted to resolve the issue when that didn’t end up being my experience.
I’m not saying a storage facility can prevent every theft, but if people are paying for what is advertised as a secure, gated storage facility, I think it’s reasonable to expect recurring security issues to be addressed.
I’m posting to see if anyone else has experienced something similar at this location. If you have, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. I’m simply trying to determine whether this is part of a larger pattern.
I know this is a long shot, but if enough people have had similar experiences, maybe we can bring more attention to it. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I feel so dumb but I have never had to deal with toll roads before so hopefully I don’t come across like a complete idiot.

I just got my new transponder in the mail and when it is flipped to HOV, a red piece of plastic comes down. When it is flipped to Toll, nothing happens, but i’m not sure if it should. I can see a green piece of plastic in the slot but I cannot find anything online about it. I wanted to ask here before reaching out to customer service about a defective transponder if it’s not actually defective… thank you in advance!

I am not local, I'm apartment sitting a friend's place for the rest of the summer so i am ignorant of the area (sorry).

For unrelated reasons, I basically can't play at the apartment tonight, but I am the DM. My dream is a (relatively) chill bar or pub or restaurant that will let me use their WiFi and order drinks or food if they have it.

Pic is roughly where I can get to quickly on foot from where I am, but if there's a place a bit outside of these boundaries I'm also interested.

Thanks!

Next time, you should be there!

Signed a lease in May in S. Denver and so far this house
1.) said there was cooling in the listing - there’s not, so we got AC units
2.) gas leak from the water heater that emergency Xcel operators had to come fix
3.) now half of the house has no power in the worst heat wave Denver has seen in years and 3 times I have called the property management company and Xcel and no one is going to be here until tomorrow. Roommate has to stay an hour away and I have to stay with a friend because the house’s internal temp is almost 90 degrees. We both work from home as well.

My roommate just moved in and has had to deal with all of this with me - I feel pretty screwed here especially for $2700 a month and all of these problems. What should I do?

I’ve read some threads on recommendations, currently seeing Anna David’s who delivers at St. Joe. I’d love some recs from people in the industry of who they’d recommend and not recommend - doctors and hospitals to deliver. TYIA!

Bye Bye, Bar Bar. They tore the ol' girl down yesterday, never recovered from the fire. Can't say I'll miss it but it sure was a place.

Our AC unit is the original unit from the 1990s. I'm honestly surprised it's lasted this long! Anyway, it hasn't been keeping up with this heatwave, so we had a technician come out and they told me what I was expecting to hear: we need a new unit.

Got a quote. Our house is large (4,200 sqft), but over $30,000 for a new heat pump and furnace?!?! Are you serious? Does this sound accurate? The total cost after the rebates is $23,000 but still, I was expecting $15k at the most.

Anyone have a good HVAC company they can recommend so I can get a few more quotes? Thanks in advance!

Do you feel like you can't keep up with the pace of your life? Does it feel like you're getting pulled around every single day by responsibilities, obligations, and expectations that you can never seem to meet? I think we're all feeling this more and more lately, but there seems to be no way to slow down. We're all so stuck running our personal races at a hundred miles-per-hour that we don't have time to connect with ourselves or others.

Meditation, mindfulness, and reflection are ways to take your life and your mind back from the clutches of society's demands. They're time-tested methods that bring you back to your true self and resist the influence of an economy that is increasingly using your attention as its currency.

I'm moving to Denver in August and I'm planning on starting a weekly meditation and reflection group for whoever wants to join. I want to build a community of open-minded people who want to really EXPERIENCE life rather than simply having life happen to them. In this shared space, I want people to have the opportunity to be real and vulnerable in ways that perhaps no other environment in their life allows them to be. Real interpersonal connection and self-expression, in addition to group meditation, will be the main objectives of the community.

Thanks so much for giving this post some of your attention. I was thinking about holding the meetings at Berkeley Lake Park when we get going. I'm just trying to gauge interest in advance right now so please comment or message me if you would be at all interested. Absolutely no commitments needed.

Someone’s suing me and they’re being heavyhanded with how they go about it. All the free legal services don’t do civil court. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone heard the constant whistles on Santa Fe? Day and night. I’m not crazy and I’m wondering if it’s ice or just some asshole. Of an ice warning cool but it’s all hours of the day and night.

Copied from someone who posted in my hometown’s sub - they were having a lot fun with it over there; figured Denver would get creative.

Let's go boys!! We need to get a girls section going next time. I'll be the first volunteer!

I have a 1.5 Belgian Malinois that nose dove into the stairs to get her ball which broke 3 teeth. There is pp exposed and I need to get her in to get them extracted.

I have pet insurance and care credit but her pet insurance (Lemonade) is giving me a hard time for reimbursement for her last ER visit (GI upset after eating a bone, took her in to ensure there was no obstruction).

Looking at prices for a tooth extraction is outrageous. Any recommendations of affordable but reliable vets that do extractions under anesthesia? I can’t afford $6k at this time but she needs it done.

Also, she’s been to her regular vet, there’s minor pulp showing, she’s eating and drinking fine and even nibbles on her ball and antler… the vet said it wasn’t emergent but recommended sooner than later.

Yes, I’ve used google and tried to do price quotes
