The Denver Traveler

Our Time Has Come

by Shawn Marie on July 31st, 2008

When your time is up, your time is up. And it has come to pass that The Denver Traveler’s time is up. This is the last post for The Denver Traveler and it is with mixed emotions that we post it. Alicia and I have been so glad to have this time with all of you. We hope you found some topics helpful and others interesting. We did our best to bring you the best of Denver and the truth about traveling through, staying for a bit, or settling down in our town.

Denver may not be a major metropolis or a hot vacation spot, but it has us and charms unique and universal. Its standard of living is good, its economic overview is fair, and it is not a bad place to raise your kids. The sun shines over 300 days a year and the snow melts almost as fast as it falls. There are sports and arts and a tremendous amount of outdoor activities, no matter the weather.

Thank you so much for stopping by during your web surfing adventures. It has been our pleasure to hear from you and meet some of our fellow bloggers. If you feel a void in your daily reading without The Denver Traveler- why not stop by Sirened, The Las Vegas Adventurer, The Hawaii Traveler or The Geeky Traveller, and be sure to tell them we sent you.

Alicia and I may be found in cyber land as well at:
TheBlackFrame.com the best stop for great photography!
Anklevine.com a whimsical spot with a little bit of everything!

Don’t be strangers, there is plenty of room for everyone in The Mile High City and on The World Wide Web.

Thank You & Good Bye,
Alicia and Shawn Marie

    I’m so sorry you two are leaving! You’ve done an excellent job on this site, with so many wonderfully informative articles, beautiful pictures, interesting trivia, history, and insider tips. I’ve got plenty of ideas for things to do next time I visit Denver. Thank you for all of the hard work and research!

    I’ll definitely miss you guys. Reading your articles reminded me of when I lived in Colorado, and it was great to read up on what was going on out there. Here’s hoping our paths will cross again, both online and perhaps even in real life.

    I think you did a fabulous job and the fact that you are no longer doing this blog is short sighted and perverse on the part of those that could have kept you writing for them. I loved your sharp wit and informative way of showing me new ways to see my city. I can not believe they could not see the gift that they had in SM and A. The pictures, the stories and and pure flavor of putting together something unique.

    Thanks so much for the plug Shawn Marie and Alicia!

    You two are extremely talented, I just had a look at your other two blogs. Love the pics on both! Funny pic of the blue bear at the DNC convention :-). Too bad you guys didn’t get to cover it on this blog.
