Just this morning driving down I-25, some lady flipped me the bird for no reason. So, when I saw this survey on the friendliest cities in America, I certainly did not expect Denver to be on it, but I was wrong!

To find America’s friendliest cities, users of social app YUZU were asked to rate how pleasant the people in their own cities are. According to their findings, these are the top ten friendliest cities the U.S. has to offer:

  1. San Diego, California
  2. Raliegh, North Carolina
  3. Phoenix, Arizona
  4. Miami, Florida
  5. Houston, Texas
  6. Urban Honolulu, Hawaii
  7. Boston Massachusetts
  8. San Jose, California
  9. Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota
  10. Denver, Colorado 

They said this about Denver making the list;

“The Mile High City brings more than stunning mountain views—it’s known for its community-minded spirit. Whether you’re chatting with locals on a trail or grabbing a coffee downtown, Denverites tend to offer a laid-back, welcoming energy that makes visitors feel like neighbors. (If you’re interested in visiting, this is a great Denver itinerary.)”

I just warn you to watch out for the road ragers on the highways. HA!
