Loving Denver. Working and studying all about Social Determinants of Health. Weekends are for mountains and concerts!

“Denver City Councilwoman Shontel Lewis expressed concern over a proposed bill in the state Legislature that would change the RTD board ahead of a Monday council meeting.”

@CityCastDenver can you call out Union Station for choosing a terrible time for construction? Honorable mention to 16th St Mall construction. Also construction on all South RTD lines this summer. Terrible time to try to use public transit... But cost of living & cant afford car

@RideRTD Where is the 52 bus? There are 4 of us waiting in the cold at Denver Health

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@RideRTD there was no 7:56 120x. Four of us are here waiting? You can send our can to gate B15 at Union Station. Thanks

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@RideRTD No need. There is a temporary stop at 9th and Broadway but Google maps doesn't know about it yet.

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@RideRTD Can you look at the stops on the 83L? Because the Broadway and 8th was taken out of service Denver Health patients now have to walk more than 15 minutes in either direction to board.

Tom Menino will forever be my mayor.

@StarryInternet I got your service because you are not Comcast. Why am I waiting over 30 minutes on hold for customer support? Maybe I'm going back to Comcast.

@RobertHurst157 @Adam_Estroff The traffic circles definitely slow down drivers and make the streets safer for pedestrians. I'm a huge fan of the one they added to my street. It definitely makes my walk to work safer every day.

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@BryanByBike @Adam_Estroff Nothing to see here folks

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@ZachNeumannCO Can you take down Real Page? It's illegal and will kill Denver in the next 5 years.

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@ZachNeumannCO @sarahparady @Shontel4Council So I made thousands of medical debt disappear today using existing funding sources. Denver Health sends a lot to collections that shouldn't have to be patient paid. We could start there.

@sanpabloavenue @sarahparady @RideRTD You are a hero! Saving this to my phone (while currently sitting on an RTD bus).

I should say it was probably more on the guest than the bartenders in this case and the bar seemed to handle it well.

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@CityCastDenver Stoney's on Lincoln

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@CityCastDenver I'll DM you. I have seen some bars handle it really well and other bars handle it really poorly. This bar was kind of in the middle. I think the patrons also bear a lot of responsibility for making healthy choices.

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@CityCastDenver Can you do a show about the drinking culture in this city? It is really starting to worry me. In the past month I have been at 4 bars that have over-served guests to the point they are falling down. One of these bars already had liquor license violations.

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@JLynnJohnston @CityCastDenver I listened to a few episodes on my move to Denver a couple of years ago too. This show really helped me learn so much about my adopted city!

@sunshine5280 @RedRocksCO @HappyWoman9 I saw all the lightning and just kept driving past the front gate. I love Lucinda and really wanted to see her but I wanted to be alive more.

[Helen Carpenter @HelenRCarpenter]

@RedRocksCO If I was Lucinda Williams @HappyWoman9 I would refuse to risk my life with all the lightning to go on stage
