Sheryll White Denver Real Estate Guide

It began as a way to share their feelings about Colorado. When the Vickers family discovered the land that has today become Castle Pines, they envisioned it as a special place for those who truly appreciate the sheer beauty of nature. Bringing together the best and brightest development team, they created an internationally acclaimed community recognized for its award-winning architecture, its sensitivity to the natural environment, its commitment to careful planning, and its national caliber amenities.

The vision of Castle Pines Village continues today, as residents come together to create a community unique for its superlative design and active lifestyle. There is commitment and dedication here, real people caring about their neighbors and the spectacular place they share...the place they call home.

After more than a year of anticipation the DNC has rolled into Denver.

Friday morning a sneak preview was given to local & national news organizations. The set is a mix of patriotism and high-end technology with video screens that actually curve out over the stage. A 600-person crew has been working on the project for months and some have even been on a 20-hour a day schedule to stay on track. The DNC has brought in upwards of 300,000 pounds of lights and speakers, so much so that the ceiling had to be reinforced to hold them. 95 of the luxury suites in the Pepsi Center were stripped of their furnishing and transformed into broadcasting booths. Some had to have walls knocked down and carpeting covered with hardboard sheeting.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the city of Denver to showcase the beautiful Mile High City and have rolled out the red carpet in anticipation of the thousands of people attending the convention.

City officials have also prepared for protesters with riot control training and a temporary jail site that can house several detainees. Video

As we get closer to Mondays kick-off, preperations are at a fever pitch and with the added job of moving the DNC to Invesco Field for Thursdays acceptance speech by Senator Obama, this guarantees to be a fun week in the Mile High City!

With all the "sky is falling" talk we here every day, I thought I'd share a few of the postives we are experiencing her in Colorado.
