Denver

I just read that Denver is often called the "Mile High City" because it is at a high elevation, or level above sea level. And I always thought it was because they were the first city to legalize you to posses a small amount of marijuana within city limits?

The "Mile High City" is only one of two cities to have eight professional sports teams, the other is the "City of Brotherly Love". I can only imagine that Philadelphia got its nickname because there are so many brothers that live there?

Because Denver is so close to the mountains, activities such as skiing, snowboarding, hiking and biking are popular. A federal study has showed that they have the thinnest residents of any big U.S. city. Because Philly is all flatland, activities like wing eating contests, $1 dog night at the ballgame, tastykake and cheesesteaks before bed every night. They have the fattest residents of any big city.

The cheeseburger, ice-cream soda, and shredded wheat were all invented in Denver. (Makes a lot of sense, I'm sure all three of them are yummy when you're stoned!).
