Denver is a city that will be far more defined by its future than its past.

From the first day we opened Wynkoop, my brewpub in Denver, I knew I'd be ten times better running a restaurant than I was a geologist.

We're far more defined by our mistakes than the things that we succeed at.

The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive

Taxpayers don't want their money spent more than a very, very slender amount on actual buying art or paying for concerts.

Given that, and assuming that we begin to adjust to issues like climate change and the greenhouse effect, Denver's location in the center of the country becomes a tremendous advantage.
