American President

Posted in Colorado, Denver at 9:56 am by elliot

Colorado has been buzzing with political activity this year: the Democratic National Convention, rallies, protests, volunteers knocking on doors — you name it.

Yesterday my wife and I went to an Obama rally in Denver.  We were two of around 100,000 folks in attendence.

Regardless of your political persuasion, stuff like this should make you proud.  People taking part in the political process at this level is just amazing.

Farewell DNC

Posted in Denver, Events, Uncategorized at 4:40 pm by elliot

What a week this has been for Denver. Farewell Democratic National Convention, it’s been fun!

The DNC has been a great opportunity to shine the national spotlight on Denver and the greater Rocky Mountain West. The city did a fantastic job as host, and the exposure for Colorado has been great!

Denver Trends

Posted in Denver at 12:43 pm by elliot

Nothing like seeing a positive trend continue.

Around a year ago, I posted some yearly crime statistics for my home city of Denver, showing drops in both violent and property crimes compared to the prior year.

This year’s stats were recently posted, showing an 11.2% decrease in property crimes, and a 14.7% decrease in violent crimes. That’s great news.  Keep it up, Denver!
