A few weeks ago our child got an assignment from school to research a little known fact about the history of Denver, CO, plus prepare a presentation on it, and the child is a little bit goth, plus asked myself and others to help him research famous criminals in the early nights of the state, then little did I think that all of us would find such an incredible array of fantastic stories from the history of Denver! This is a quiet location to live, but that wasn’t typically the case because Denver used to be a mile-high version of Deadwood! Alfred Packer is one of the most famous CO residents to ever pass through Denver, on his way to being as notorious gold prospector, murderer, plus cannibal! After being convicted plus sentenced to death, Packer was given a minute trial, at which he was sentenced to 40 years for his alleged crimes, crimes that were widely covered by the Denver Post newspaper, however here is the crazier area of the story – after serving his time plus getting released, Packer truly went to work for the Denver Post! Do you think what work he played for this esteemed Denver publication? Security guard! This is one of those odd plus fun little historical facts that make Denver such a neat location to live, just appreciate our cannabis dispensaries, and were you aware that Denver is the only town in the world to have more cannabis dispensaries than it has Starbucks? That is no small feat, plus just goes to show you that in Denver people love their weed even more than they appreciate bitter coffee.
