No one knows a city as well as the people who live there, the ones who know where to find the best local shops with the coolest trinkets, hidden gem restaurants with must-try dishes or mesmerizing street art sprinkled along the landscape. America is full of communities who make their mark on their city, making them interesting places to call home and drawing in visitors from all over to see what sets it apart.
According to a list of "offbeat" American locales and "charming oddities" compiled by Reader's Digest, the quirkiest city in all of Colorado is Denver, recognized for one of the most unique attractions in the country. Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about this cool destination:
"Widely known for the prevalence of cannabis, this city plays host to the only known temple to the intoxicating hemp plant, a.k.a. the International Church of Cannabis. Open since April 20, 2017 (the pot smoker's holiday, 4/20), this establishment treats the plant as a holy sacrament. Church-goers follow a unique religion known as 'Elevationism' and claim that use of cannabis elevates one to higher self-understanding. Bonus: It scored pretty well on our list of the cleanest cities in America, too."
