The highlight of the ceremony, held at the Denver Arts Complex's Buell Theatre, was the Mayor's Inaugural Address setting out the framework for challenging Denver residents to make a commitment to keeping Denver a national model of urban renaissance. "It’s not a matter of believing that Denver is better than other cities, for nothing is gained by vain pride, but rather an understanding - based upon impressive evidence - that our achievements rank at the top of urban undertakings in this nation," said Hickenlooper.  In order to continue and expand the City's successes, he challenged residents to make a commitment to the common good and tackle the issues the community faces in all of its neighborhoods stating that citizen participation and ongoing investment are necessary.   Read the full text of the Inaugural Address.   The entire program was covered live on Denver 8 TV and continues with replays Tuesday, July 17 at 10 pm; Saturday, July 21 at 3 pm; Sunday, July 22 at 1 pm; Saturday, July 28 at 8 pm.
