Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Denver’s Union Station.
Eat at Corinne’s, then head up to the rooftop deck for a spectacular view of the Rocky Mountains.
Red Rocks Amphitheater is a must-see.
Get a drink at Simm’s to witness the city skyline.
Drive into the mountains or go back into the city.
Enjoy a city bike tour and the warm sunshine.
Walk the Cherry Creek path to Confluence Park.
Get ice cream at Little Man in the Highlands.
Stroll over to the 16th Street Mall to hear live music, shop from local vendors, and enjoy a comfy chair, people watching.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The book “Developing the Leaders Around You” by Dr. John Maxwell inspired me to empower, enable, and equip others to be effective in their efforts, to help them believe mostly in themselves.
My grandfather was a migrant worker. As a young man, he would wake me early to go into the field and plant seeds before the others woke.
To this day, I plant seeds into the hearts and minds of others to become the best version of themselves. That is why I started the Dreamers and Creators Foundation, a Colorado non-profit that supports local artists with scholarships and business principles.
