Comments on: You’re from Denver http://suzatlarge.wordpress.com/2006/08/29/youre-from-denver/ Let\'s face it honey: I\'m older than you are and have better insurance.

Child of adoption, grew up in New Jersey, New York and Vermont (and now living in Maine), I’m curious to find out if there’s something of Denver that sticks at birth and travels with you. As the great city of Denver has experienced a brewing Renaissance, and that its first operating building was a saloon, maybe it’s my love of beer.

But reading this list, it’s hard to say I’m from Denver outside of being born there: my adoptive mother was from Brooklyn, and the streets of Manhattan are more my urban home than anywhere else. It’s hard to say I’m from Denver, except on the birth certificate; but as much as I’m a New Yorker, I’ll never forget the place where I was born.
