    Default Not living-up to expectations...

    I thought one of the selling points of the new airport was NOT having to do this every time it snows?

    Gene Amole is spinning in his grave.
    He was a columnist for the Rocky Mountain News that reported daily what a fiasco DIA was when it was being planned and built.
    He also served under Patton in WWII and had a lot of stories from the foot soldier's point of view - not all complimentary

    Slightly off topic.

    DIA since 1993 had issues. Bonds. Automated baggage devices we almost never used since ~1997? Train issues.
    Construction issues 1 2 3 4 5.

    Only thing kids like about this airport is thst little train we ride on. Nice walk to A when train is unfunctional can be a great workout w/ 2 luggages ��

    All that space and investment for nothing. It would definitely be a good breaking ground for zombie as well.

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Yeah, but who owned and sold the property to the airport?
    Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
