Colorado-y Community Headcanons
As a long-time Colorado resident, here are some very niche Community headcanons that are probably only entertaining to me, but oh well:
Jeff’s old condo was in RiNo district in Denver, because it’s still close to the stadium, but he thought it made him seem more interesting to women.
Abed loves visiting The Stanley Hotel because it gives him an excuse to explain to anyone that’ll listen that only the Shining miniseries from the 90s starring Steven Weber, and not the Kubrick film, was actually filmed at The Stanley, despite it being the inspiration for Stephen King’s original book.
It’s not that Troy believes all the conspiracy theories about Denver International Airport, he just tries to always get to the airport an extra hour early, to have time to investigate… just in case.
Related, Shirley hates Blucifer and wants him taken down, which she mentions every time she goes to the airport. To which Annie always responds, “but a man died for that statue.”
Abed loves Casa Bonita.
The dean runs the BolderBoulder 10k every year in an absolutely wild and impractical outfit. But he always finishes with a surprisingly impressive time.
Britta had to explain IKEA to the rest of the group when one opened in Colorado in 2011.
Abed hikes Sanitas in his regular clothes and sneakers and never even gets winded, much to the aggravation and admiration of Troy
Pierce shared an anecdote about Red Rocks that was so inappropriate and nauseating, no one in the group has gone to a concert there since.
Jeff uses altitude sickness as an excuse fairly often, despite not understanding what it is and how someone who’s never left the state wouldn’t have it. But he sounds so confident, no one questions him on it.
How the group feels about Snooze: - Jeff: the only carb-free thing on the menu he can eat is an omelet, which is… meh fine. Overrated for what it is and for the wait. - Abed: he just really likes their heavy, chunky silverware. - Britta: going to brunch makes her feel uncomfortably bougie, but if she absolutely must go, they have a lox benedict, which is very New York-y. - Shirley: thinks it’s some kind of sin to spend two hours on a Sunday waiting for pancakes. - Troy: amazing. fantastic. He’ll order two breakfast burritos and eat them in a single sitting. - Annie: likes the pancakes and free coffee while you wait. She’s been banned from playing the cornhole game they sometimes have set up outside for people waiting, because she once got too competitive and threw a beanbag into the outdoor seating area.
Britta is from Boulder. Obviously.
