Then, you need to write:
Greater Denver
MSA Denver Aurora

Denver will always be a cow town in the middle of fly over country.
I have lived here 72 years and I like Denver the way it is.
I hate to break it to you but Denver is far from a cowtown. You sound like someone who is in the denial stage. I don’t quite know what you define as a cowtown but a metro of 700k and growing, isn’t a cowtown. Get over it. A real cowtown might be somewhere like Albuquerque if you are truly interested in that scene.

We’ve all been on here a while so I thought it was clear what I was referring to. My apologizes.

You think so? I don’t think that’s true at all.

Not true any any sense. Metro area is the default.

That means nothing. The Denver Metro is comprised of six counties, Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson. It's called a conurbation region if you want to get technical, and I do.

So with that in mind, the population is as of 2020, 2,963,821 folks, which is 16.5% bigger than just 10 years prior, and I'll add my own stat, with another 1,000,000 yahoos just driving around and around.

I drove up to Loveland this last weekend and I will reiterate another opinion of the Denver Metro. I call everything from 120th and up to Fort Collins Denver North. I drove from Loveland by the Budweiser Center to this "town" called Windsor for a bagel and gracious, you folks are building homes everywhere.

I sure hope you can support your infrastructure and natural resources for all this growth.

Another opinion, what with the Gap and all being completed, everything south to CoSprings might as well be called Denver South.

No, they don't.

If they did, that would say these towns are comparable to the "town" of Denver; Albuquerque, Wichita, Louisville, Colorado Springs, Bakersfield, Springfield Wherever-the-heck-Pick-one, Grand Rapids, Rochester -where Eastman Kodak once flourished-, Tulsa, Fresno blah blah blah, while being dwarfed by the likes of San Antonio, Albuquerque, Omaha, Buffalo, El Paso and McAllen Texas.

Apples, meet Oranges.

I concur. I concur from CoSprings to Fort Collins and back.

It's 2022, not 1975.

True in every legal, geographical, financial and representative sense. (Oh, those pesky facts...You should get some...)
