Wow. What's left of Tennyson? When i moved there in 2009, it was two restaurants and a few very shitty dive bars (which i loved, to be clear). Now, I literally have 25 different options within a ten minute walk. It was dead 7-8 years ago, now it's a vibrant little shopping and restaurant district that people visit from all over the city - in fact, it' s really the only thing that I miss about Denver.

We did loose a few of the crappier galleries but the good one's are still there. We lost Music Bar but come on, is that really worth saving? The only thing that's regrettably not there anymore is the hardware store - and they weren't forced out, they took a big payday and hit the road.

As for California; now you're saying you wish that you could still be there but it's too expensive and perilous. I understand that. Makes perfect sense to me. But, why bash it? If you love that area enough to want to live there, why is it something to dread that Denver is growing in a similar way?
