denver: Feeling Bad for Barack Obama - 08/07/08 07:44 AM
As we here in Denver are preparing for the Democratic National Convention, I got to thinking about poor Senator Barack Obama. This man is running for President of the United States. Why would I be feeling bad for him?
1. He has to live in Washington D. C. I know Washington D. C. is a beautiful city, as a matter of fact, I've visited a couple of times and would love to go back. But, it is not Denver. (Here is where the disclosure comes in. I'm a Colorado native so I may be a bit biased.)
2. If Mr. Obama ends … (9 comments)

denver: Take a Walk Lowry Style - 04/30/07 11:24 PM
The sun, setting over the mountains, and the sound of birds painted the backdrop for my Sunday walk. It had been a glorious day in Denver, lots of people out enjoying the warm spring weather. Just thinking about it made me smile. I love taking Sunday evenings for myself and this last weekend, it was a fabulous walk along the Westerly Creek Dam.
If you are looking for a little space and a great view, treat yourself this week and stop by Lowry, the former Denver Air Force Base. Drive north on Fairmount Drive from Alameda Avenue just past the AMLI Apartment Complex and turn right on Sports Avenue. Find … (4 comments)

denver: Seven Reasons I Love Living in Denver - 04/07/07 09:35 AM
I've had the pleasure of living in the Denver area for more than 40+ years. I can't imagine living anyplace else. Here is why I love living, working and playing in Denver.
1. Weather- Last year, Denver had 300+ days of sunshine. The snow falls and usually melts within a few days. If you are looking to get out of the rain and high humidity, Denver is the place to be. Since the snow melted from our holiday storms, it has been amazing weather. Interested in the current forecast?
2. Seasons- Denver has all four seasons. Spring brings new growth, daffodils and tulips and … (7 comments)

Denver was selected earlier this year to host the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Regardless of who you want for our next President, this could be a historical moment and Denver will set the stage.

Teresa is encouraging her readers to think about how the event might impact the sale of their homes. She is on the right track.

denver: Is the Sky Falling on the Denver Real Estate Market? - 04/06/07 08:37 AM
We've seen the headlines preaching doom and gloom for our real estate market.
Did you know that last year was the third highest number on record for single family home sales in the history of the Denver metro area?
I don't recall seeing that information on the news.
Back in 1999 when I sold my last home, the house was on the market for only three days before it was under contract. That year, buyers had to see a house as soon as it hit the market or it would be sold before they got in the front door. Is that a great market? Sellers say yes, buyers, no. … (2 comments)
