Right on. Quick question if I could, because me and the mrs are considering Ft Collins as on of the places for our move, is it a college town? I've heard it's not too bad, not like Boulder, but never spoke to someone who currently resides there
Fucking Boulder... land of snotty trust fund babies, all dying to be cooooool. That attitude doesn't last long around here!
Ft Collins is the anti-Boulder; I struck up a conversation with a girl at the bar the other night, asked her about her shirt advertising yet another Ft Collins brewery I hadn't heard of...
Turns out she was one of the owners, told me all about their work getting up n running, the whole bit. You never know who you might be rubbing elbows with; tech startup millionaires wearing grungy shorts n flip flops, catching a show downtown.
One of my neighbors recently retired- he was one of the national directors for The International Red Cross. Totally down to earth couple, they sold me their chicken coop when they upgraded.
Y'all should ask me about the school nurse I ran into a couple years ago. Ask me about his hats.
This is one of the most shockingly educated and proficient enclaves anywhere. We're on the list of top 5 places for innovation in the country- and we're a fifth of the size of the next smallest city on that list.
A few years back we also made the Money magazine list for nicest place to live in the country... at number one.
Recreation? People save up their whole lives to take a once in a lifetime vacation, and they come here. They like it so much the city has grown from a small town of 30k to over 155,000 in just 40 years.
Nuff said, fuckin' place is growing fast enough as it is!
