Did you grow up in Colorado or move there??

Born in Northern California and lived there until I was 11. Lived in New Jersey for a year, then Louisiana for 2 years and 2 years in Colorado before moving to Los Angeles for college (I stayed for 20 years).

I moved back to Colorado in 2003 because nowhere else compares to this amazing state! The weather, the people, the laid-back attitude, the cost of living, the mountains, the lakes and reservoirs (sp?) -- generally the traffic isn't as bad as other cities I have lived and visited.

The only way I would move is if I were offered a great job somewhere that paid me a whole lot of money (we're talking over $1Million/year). Can you tell I love Colorado? I do.

I spent eight long miserable years in Northern CA (San Ramon). Once I escaped I never looked back. Heck, my graduating class doesn't even know where I am and I hope they never find me. Absolutely hate CA.

From there I moved to Madison WI and lived there for about 4 years until I finally decided to move to Fort Collins CO (which was 12 years ago - damn I am getting old).

I absolutely love CO. I love the weather and open spaces and there is so much to do out here. We're really close to so many National Parks in other states, not including the obvious one, RMNP.

What I am not liking about CO is that everyone and their grandparents are moving here too. The people are becoming more rude and impatient and it is reminding me of CA. People drive way too fast and it is just becoming a clusterf**k on the highways. Each week on my way home from work there is some accident on the highway at the nearby interchange. There has been several people who have died at this interchange over the course of five years and I too have nearly gotten squashed between semis or people stopping - literally a dead stop on a cloverleaf highway entrance!

Anyway, that is my two cents... take it for what it is worth.

I'm currently studying in Denver, moved there from Manchester, United Kingdom.

As for do I enjoy living here, the answer is yes, absolutely. The State itself is beautiful with the mountains and there is so much to do here all year round, from: hiking, mounting biking, horseback riding, rock climbing, caving, rafting, canoing, fishing, hunting, golfing and there are plenty of ski resorts such as Aspen, Winterpark, Loveland and Breckenridge.

If you love the outdoors you will love Colorado.

Not only that but you have the hot springs, national parks, amusements parks, zoos and museums. There are also plenty of historical and heritage sights to visit.

The weather is also really great, here you get all four-seasons, warm summers and although it can become quite cold during the winter months, this is usually very mild. Another plus point is that there is practically no humidity, which is a bonus when you are out and about enjoying all of those outdoor activities.

Would I move anywhere else? Not for the foreseeable future, if I did it would be for educational or family reasons only, but I would always, I think come back.

I also like really like Oregon and Minnesota, but they don't really compare to what Colorado as to offer in my opinion.

I am from Washington DC, moved to Orlando after HS, then Atlanta, then San Antonio, the Denver and now Winter Park, CO.

I think this truely is god's country and I have lived a lot of places and traveled a lot as well. Colorado is amazing and very clean for a city. The chick who wrote comments like traffic and pollution is obviously not well traveled. Personally, I think England and France are very nasty cities.

I currently live ina ski town, so being right here in the mountains is amazing. The weather is Denver is perfect, NO HUMIDITY!!!!

Basically I love it here and never plan on moving :)

Wow Katers I lived in Colorado Springs until I was nine, then I moved to Florida because my father was in the Military. Well 18 years later I still find myself in this crappy state. I feel like the weather here in Florida is awful, and stay indoors most of the time because it is too hot, but forget about Florida. I think Colorado is beautiful, and I will move back when I graduate college which will be in about 2 years. I think the air quality is so much better, and people seem to be happier. I will move to Denver because of the job opportunities. I cannot wait until that happens.

I was born and raised in Denver, just like my mother and countless generations before me. Unfortunately, I am the only one who dislikes Colorado so the line will end with me. I have always loved the east coast, big cities, and the ocean. Colorado simply cannot offer all that I love. For those who love the outdoors, nature, casual atmospheres, and the four seasons, Denver is a great place to live. I have never liked those things so Denver is not the place for me. I plan on moving to Massachusetts, New York, or Connecticut as soon as I can. Again Colorado is a nice place just not my favorite.

Denver could be the play where the sparkle may sun 300 times of year. Denver is a growing national scene, diverse neighborhoods, and organic splendor combine for the world's most spectacular playground and with hotelbye you can see ways to get there. Denver is the place for: World-class attractions, normal wonders, booming arts scene, lots of modern and acclaimed restaurants and nightlife options galore. Denver definitly started using it all. In Denver you are able to look at the Mount Evans and the Mount Evans Highway. The Mount Evans Highway is a seasonal road which can be shut throughout winter months weeks

Both, My dad was stationed in Germany when I was born, after my dad got his orders we moved to Colorado Springs when I was two. I loved living there its the best state, so beautiful. I moved in 98 when my dad decided to move to Florida, I have been here ever since and I hate it. But I would never move back to the Springs, just because of personal reasons, but it is still a great state and town!. I still come back to visit just wouldnt want to live there.

Lived in Colorado Springs for 7 years. We finally escaped and moved back home to Salt Lake City, UT. Hated C.S. Hated Colorado. The mountains are too far away to enjoy on the spur of the moment. The air is TOO dry. The drivers are either too slow (old? on pot?) or ride your tail at 90 mph. The infrastructure is 40 years behind and falling apart. They will never have roads as nice as every state around it - they just don't plan well there.

I moved to Denver 6 years ago on a job transfer from Northern California. I like Denver as it reminds me of San Francisco except for no ocean. Lots to do. You can keep the rest of it, Fort Collins, Longmont, the Springs, Pueblo, and all the rest of it. I would leave to go back to CA in a heartbeat if at all possible financially because I'm a native Californian and I miss my home and family.
