Rudynate Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I lived in Denver for 15 years and loved it for most of the time. It’s a cozy place to live but doesn’t seem like much of a tourist destination. Of the three, I like Seattle the best. Great views, nice neighborhoods, great restaurants. Last time I was there, I stayed at the Hyatt on Lake Washington, one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. I’ve enjoyed Vancouver every time I’ve been there. My nicest memory of Vancouver was a hunky Cuban I met at a bathhouse. thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer walking the streets of Toronto or Montreal. I have no desire to ever go back to Vancouver. Toronto is hard to beat. I have even liked it in the dead of winter and Toronto winters are not for the faint of heart. Marc in Calif and + Vegas_Millennial 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worst memory of Vancouver was my first-ever case of crabs, which I picked up at (maybe?) that same bathhouse. It was almost exactly 30 years ago. So far, it's been my only visit to that fine city!

The bathhouse was kind of a small dumpy one. It was in the gayborhood - I don't remember the street - very close to a disco. I remember that the music in discos was unfamiliar - I asked a buddy I was with if it was Canadian disco music or off-brand American music - he said he didn't think it was Canadian. That was a fun trip - I went to Seattle, Vancouver, San Francisco and LA. Marc in Calif and Lookin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in that part of the country. I remember the winters very well. We lived in a small town in western New York and we had relatives all over the region. I remember driving on little secondary roads to visit them in the middle of winter. Sometimes you couldn't see over the snow banks from inside the car. mike carey and thomas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
