  Heeey, I’m currently living in Northglenn. Same, it’s forever etched in my memory.

    What the heck does this mean? Is the number 5280 just painted all over billboards in Denver?

      Pretty much. If you go to a Broncos game, you’re going to see a graphic saying we’re 5280 feet above sea-level at least a hundred times.

        They’re right. Altitude sickness is absolutely real. I live in CT pretty close to sea level. I hiked the flatirons in Boulder and puked my guts out when I came back down.

      Basically yes. We even have a local magazine called 5280.

      Sounds like they take their distances pretty seriously over there in the mile-high city

      So many businesses and shops are named 5280. Breweries, coffee shops, bars, transmission shops, interior design shops, animal hospitals, dry cleaners, bakeries…that number is plastered on signs and advertisements everywhere. 😂
