Denver TMB'ers

My wife usually picks up the subs, I think they’re usually posted up at Novel Strand but move around a little. There’s also an Arty’s Express that does mostly kaisers. They’re about to branch out into pizza as well.

NGL the cheesesteak is expensive at $28 but it’s massive and probably the best I’ve ever had

 

didn’t think it was possible to save money moving to austin. it is ridiculously expensive there

 

COL is about 9% lower in Austin and the average rent is about $300-$500 cheaper than what I am paying currently. Not sure of the accuracy of a google search, but it's about a 13k difference if you make 150k in Denver, you need 137k in Austin for the same lifestyle.

 

No state income tax in Texas either

 

but then you have to live in texas

 

True, but not like you aren’t dealing with a plethora of Texans in Colorado these days, either.

 

I'm single with a dog, being able to put that money into investments or just increasing my 401k seems worth it right now, but yes, it is Texas

 

This is true. But I also read a lengthy article about people who moved to Florida for the same reason and regretted it as it was way more expensive than they thought, despite the absence of an income tax.

 

I think that is for people that are owning a home? I am far too poor for that. Florida is .91% while Texas is 1.68%.

 

Got my pass to RMNP
Jim Jeffries rescheduled his stop to Jan saving me $121

yes, I think I will

 

How doable is red rocks with crutches? Supposed to go see Isbell next week but I’m 3 weeks post ACL surgery. I have a handicap placard. Just worried I’ll have to crutch up and down 50 steps in a crowd

 

Getyourself a wheelchair and think you'll be pretty golden if you can call and get your tickets changed to ada tickets

 

Have always wanted to see a show at globe hall. Seems like they get big acts doing small shows

 

Redeemer’s garlic knots

 

ADA stuff is already full but our seats are right behind ADA. Not sure what I would do to get a wheelchair

 

They have elevators for this. I’d just call and ask

 

I don’t get the redeemer love, haven’t had the knots though

 

Pizza is pretty good but the knots are exceptional.

 

they say they're NY style but looking at photo's online and it doesnt look like it. Cart Driver decent? its directly next door to my Airbnb and and open til midnight

 

Cart driver is good. I don’t think it is the best in Denver but you can’t go wrong if you are in rino.

 

any decent bagel places?

 

Near rino? Best chance is getting rosenberg’s in 5 points but you have to get up early. Call your mother is good but its locations are in other neighborhoods. Closest to you is the one in the highlands / Tennyson.

If you are in RiNo and want a good breakfast sandwich, I highly recommend the truck stop sandwich at Port Side

 

Recommend the heart attack from Rosenbergs as well.

 

Denver is actually undergoing a bit of a bagel boom right now. It had been pretty barren up until recently. Good article in a recent west word on new bagel shops opening soon

 

I am trying to find some good pastel de natas here, but I've yet to find one that hits the spot. Reunion Bread was just so so

 

Re: taxes Colorado vs. Texas — if you’re going from owning to owning, you’ll probably pay more overall in Texas. If you’re renting, you’ll pay less outta pocket, but you’re still paying the landlord’s share. Our taxes on a $300k house in Amarillo were like 4x what we paid in property taxes for a $600k townhome in Denver.

 

Using the Sixt Union Station location is such a better move than taking the train back to the Airport

 

Why? The train is fantastic.

 

it is. I'm gonna be in RiNo for a couple days first and then heading out to Breck. Just so much easier to pickup downtown then get on the train to then drive back west. Also last day I get to just drop off the car instead of paying for parking

 

I’ll be there

 

can confirm

I moved back here for family reasons more so, but yeah the whole “move to Florida to save money” is completely overblown

 

Forecast is calling for snow in Breck on Monday. Im driving to RMNP that day. Should I spend the extra money getting an awd rental or should 2wd suffice. I've only driven in snow/ice twice in my life

 

Coming out for a week in July. Agenda includes Rockies game, Avett Brothers at Red Rocks, hiking in RMNP.

My flight home departs at 7:05am on a Thursday. What time would you guys show up at the airport? I ain't trying to get there at 5am but will if I have to.

 

thursday, you should generally be okay. but a lot of this depends on whether you have precheck, if you are checking a bag, and if you are traveling with kids. If you are solo or just with a spouse, you can definitely show up at 6 and get thru pre-check in 10 mins. I spent less than 5 mins getting thru West security sunday afternoon.

 

If you have precheck, 545-6 should be ok. If you dont, 5 AM

 

I just flew out at 745 on Friday and got to the airport at 645 and was fine with precheck

 

I prefer taking the train, but if you get dropped off by a car, have them drop you off on the west side. If you drive all the way down, you can get dropped off 3 steps from security

 

I love living in the Denver metro but I will never ever like anything about DIA, I’m convinced

 

The amount of direct flights pretty much anywhere is dope

 

I’m solo. Don’t have pre check but sounds like I might should check into it.

Unfortunately will be checking a bag because of camping stuff I’m bringing

 

My round trip direct Delta flight from ATL was $206 and that seems to be the any time price

 

Currently having trouble making a non red eye to the east coast work but yeah the direct flight thing is dope. Was more comparing it to any other hub airport with the exception of Miami

 

Delta from Tallahassee 6-700. Shits fucking stupid

 

I love DIA. My favorite airport easily.

 

I see Tally is 4.5 hours from Atlanta so a little further from my situation. But I'm driving 3.5 hours to Atlanta instead of 1.5 hours to Charlotte because the price is much better. And my sister lives near ATL airport so that makes parking and getting there easy.

 

Yeah I've not had any bad experiences. Wish it wasn't 45 minutes away from downtown though

 

Had to have all that land for all the Illuminati shit.

 

Nashville airport, extremely close to the city, kind of a hellscape to get in and out of
KC airport, easy to get in and out of, but far away from downtown with no transit option
Denver airport, easy to get in and out of, far away from downtown but has a transit option.

it could be worse for regional to large cities.

 

the upgraded united lounges have really improved my DIA experience. I hope they get the interior looking like it does at the very end of the United terminals. carpet needs to go.
