What you see here is not just an empty city, it’s an expression of love.
Our collective willingness to stay home, as the internet has explained, is how cities all across the world are caring for their communities. It’s a mass demonstration of kindness. Fortunately, Denver citizens have proven over and over again they truly love thy neighbor. From restaurants still finding time to feed healthcare workers and school children to artists painting boarded windows and organizations stepping up to care for their employees — the love is palpable, even when you can’t see it.

Downtown has been practically as busy as ever. Every parking meter is taken. I didn’t know there were so many essential workers working downtown.
I visited your fine city last month for the first time. I’m a freelance photographer based in Albuquerque. My impression of the literally 0 pkg spaces available flabbergasted me although I found one on 21st across from Coors Field. Then I figured it out. There’s so much construction going on that the workers consumed all the spaces. Even during these times Denver is on the move!
