 Denver hosts a great and rich history of culture, and continues to remain a true testament to "Colorful Colorado". While Denver may not be as recognized for historical musical prominence like such cities as Seattle, Los Angeles, Detroit, or New York City, it still manages to have a very active pop, jazz, and classical music scene, which has nurtured several artists and genres to regional, national, and even international attention. Though nearby Boulder, Colorado has its own very distinct music scene, artists based there also play in Denver.(Information provided by Wikipedia .)
If you are looking at visiting, Denver certainly offers the best to its visitors.

Denver awarded $29.3 million to boost foreclosure recovery
Federal stimulus funds to expand efforts underway to acquire, redevelop and resell foreclosed properties through Neighborhood Stabilization Program
Denver HouseThe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development today announced $29.3 million in Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funding to benefit Denver. The Denver Office of Economic Development will receive $18,994,444 and Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc. will receive $10,263,440 to address residential foreclosure and to spur the revitalization of Denver neighborhoods heavily impacted by foreclosure.
“The City’s foreclosure recovery efforts will see a significant boost thanks to this increase in funding,” said Mayor John Hickenlooper. “We look forward to using these new funds to build upon the City’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program efforts that were launched last year. We’re putting families back into foreclosed homes, while supporting Denver’s neighborhoods and creating jobs.”
Provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the new round of funding complements $9.6 million in NSP funding that was awarded to Denver in 2009. Originally created through the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Neighborhood Stabilization Program is enabling Denver to acquire, redevelop and resell foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight.

City Park Golf Course Named Best in the State |
Less than a month after being named as having the Best Trail Parks in the U.S. by Parks and Recreation Magazine, Denver Parks and Recreation has again been nationally recognized. The August 2009 edition of Golf Digest.com has named City Park Golf Course Best Public Golf Course in the State.
City Park Golf Course was selected by using a combination of star ratings from Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play and Best in State rankings. With fees starting at $33 to play a round of golf. City Park Golf Course offers a great urban setting with a wonderful backdrop of Downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains. The small sloping greens, unique bunkering, and tight fairways make this course deceivingly difficult.
City Park also includes a Junior Golf course, Pro Shop and the restaurant Bogey’s on the Park. The junior course, which features four, par-three holes, is free and open to children except during classes. The Pro Shop has a limited number of loaner clubs for kids, which are also free of charge. Bogey’s on the Park is an affordable eatery with a great atmosphere.
Denver Golf’s seven locations offer five 18-hole courses, one 27-hole golf complex, two 9-hole par 3 courses, and one 18-hole miniature golf course with driving range and three pro shops.
