Anyone live in Colorado?
I am going to go down to denver in a few weeks I think. My girlie and I were thinking about maybe moving around there. Maybe Fort Collins or Boulder. Just want anyones take on the area and whatever info you could share. I live on Long Island right now. NY :ah:

Don't live there but travel there periodically, my co. has a campus in Broomfield/Louisville. Folks in my group that live there seem to like both the Denver and Boulder areas. Friendly folks all around, lots of new development in the area so most of it feels new and clean, lots of younger folks. Wide and flat/rolling slight hills, with big mountains near by.

It sucks here. No one should move here. Tell your friends.

I live in the Springs, it's nice, close to everything, no traffic (compared to Denver), lots of good tech jobs. Boulder is a tad bit granola, enviro elitist. Don't believe me, type "Boulder elitism" into google and hit enter. Colorado Springs has Christians and military folks. It can't hurt to drive down, it's only 45 miles south of Denver and it's scenic the whole way.

Ditto. Snows all the time, cold, and windy. Many here call it "Menver" because of the lack of women. Bars generally close at 5:00. Those great mountain roads are typically closed nearly year round due to wind blown snow or wild-fires. Pot holes are quite plentifull. Numerous random riots in Ft. Collins and Boulder. Most people that move or visit here never come back. It's awful. I hate it here. You would too. Pass the word.
On a side note: I hear California is nice - many, many Coloradan's have very "special" feelings about California.

Yeah, California. That's a great place. More people should move or stay there.
Also, the earthquakes, fires, tornados, hurricanes, flooding, and random animal attacks here in Colorado are getting a little out of control. Not to mention all the snow all year around.
Plus, there's the altitude. Anyone not born here is expected to have a 20 year shorter life due to the thin air. That and the sexual disfunction.

Very true - hell we just had a person mauled and killed by a jaguar the other day! I've personally lost 3 friends due to mountain lions - and that was in downtown Denver! Probably due to all the cattle and horses...
