Not taking shots at you OP but you're not really doing a good job of selling Denver as the GOAT city. Sounds like you're just trying to make the best of your current situation 
Denver is in contention for GOAT US city...

Lived in Denver as a child due to my folks divorcing and that is where my Dad lived. Mom lived in Louisiana. After 5th grade I had the choice of where I wanted to live.
I chose Louisiana as a kid with ease.

I do shyt by myself all the time, so this last go around in Denver, I started doing the simple shyt that Rodney likes doing. Playing basketball, walking, exploring parks, movies, trying new restaurants, went to a Rockies game, and teaching myself how to get around town. I've explored the city on foot, on train, and in car, I have fun doing shyt like that...
I've hung out with a few women and they've helped me also learn and enjoy the city too...
I've never actually been to Philly so I'll take your word for it. I've been thru Philly, on my way from Harrisburg to Jersey (Asbury/Freehold), but I never actually "went" to Philly...
I LOVE Pittsburgh, and most people say those cities so different from each other. Outside looking in, Philly has no appeal to me, I've never had an inclination to go check it out. If it's a smaller version of New York, I'd just go to New York. If I want a blacker city, I'd just go to DC. If I wanted East Coast vibes, I can get that fix in a bunch of places and I have been to Boston multiple times and liked it...
If I wanna be in Penna I'd just go to PittsburghI don't know bruh, Philly just seems like a place that anything I'd like about it, other places do it better...
Denver is awesome, though. But I'm also not really an East Coast guy...
You pick Pittsburgh over Philly is outrageous especially if you Black
Do me a favor and come to Philly during the summer. It's a reason why its finally getting out of the slump and booming again.

Certain spots but its the blackest big city on the east coast. I don't understand the hate for Philly online.

I mean maybe, I'm not in a bad situation, I live comfortably. I have an opportunity to go from "living comfortably", to whatever that next level up is, from a financial standpoint, and aside from financially, thoroughly enjoy where I live...Not taking shots at you OP but you're not really doing a good job of selling Denver as the GOAT city.

Black folks should move to Denver where in many industries you won't be making less than $25/hour, which, if that sounds low, consider that I live in Raleigh, which has more black people than Denver, and is only about ~16.5% lower COL than Denver, and you're a rare commodity making over $20/hour...
Which is also the case in most of the South, so think about how many black people making less than $20 in Rgh, and how many making over $25 here, with not that stark a COL variance...
Black folks should move here because there's more earning potential. If you already in the market to own a home, you probably shouldn't look at coastal prices (on either coasts) if Denver housing is expensive to you
stay in the South or Midwest where homes are still cheaper...You gotta visit Philly breh — definitely has its own vibeI've never actually been to Philly so I'll take your word for it.

I may check it out one day. We all got places that appeal or don't appeal to us, I'm sure there are cities you hear of but you're never thought to yourself, "I wanna go there". I been all up and down the East Coast and I've just never had a desire to go check out Philly...You pick Pittsburgh over Philly is outrageous especially if you Black

Crazy you been to Pittsburgh besides Philly and its suburbs, Pennsylvania is the South Breh without Philly. Pittsburg is so racist for Black development etc..

I lived in Aurora from 1995 to 2000 and I loved it. For a married breh with a family I would recommend living there, as a single breh there are better places to live.
