Everyone needs a friend. But it's not always easy to make a new one.
Maybe you’ve read about this so-called “epidemic of loneliness.” Maybe your best friend just moved away. Maybe you came to Denver without much community to start with. Or maybe you’re just looking to meet new people.
That's where Denverite Classifieds comes in. We're taking the classic newspaper classified ads, where people took out personals, and remixing it so like-minded Denverites can meet their neighbors and make new friends.
