    For the same reasons as Boulder? Hippies really do not bother me at all. Elitist assholes do bother me.

    I just want to be close to trails and meets.

    How's the job market currently?

    Thanks I'll make sure to do that.

    If I have to leave the truck outside, what is the best way to do that? Wipers up etc? Vinegar on the windshield?

    What haven’t I changed?
    It seems that Boulder is a sort of polarizing place - you either love it or you hate (on) it. But it's true that if you're looking to buy a place, it may not be for you since Boulder's housing prices are insanely inflated. Almost everyone I know who works in Boulder lives in surrounding towns like Longmont, Erie, Lafayette, or Louisville/Superior. Some even live as far away as Dacono/Firestone and even Northglenn/Thornton. It just depends on the housing market and how much of a commute you're willing to accept, and commuting to/from Boulder can suck balls during rush hour.

    Haha probably so. I plan on staying for a year or two and see what happens. I figure now is my best opportunity to do something like this and I don't want to pass up the opportunity and regret it later.

    Which is why he is a mod :rofl:

    I spend all day in Boulder. It definitely has its quirks. Grew up in Fort Collins, which isn't bad, but if you're going to live in Colorado, just do it right and live in the mountains :cool:


    Oh, and all you need to know about Greeley:

    I'm not looking to purchase a house. I want to rent a house at first to see if buying is something I am willing to commit to. I'll be super far from all of my family and I don't know a single person in Colorado. Commuting isn't too bad if the job is worth it.

    Mountains are necessary. I've lived in the NC mountains for the past 4 years and I couldn't imagine not living in the woods.

    Just something I hear people talk about here lol I hate the smell so I've never tried.

    Haven't gotten there yet. I graduate college in December with a degree in Entrepreneurship. I set a deadline to move to Colorado in March, job or no job. Preferably with a job already lined up lol.

    Darn you beat me to it :rofl: that's what I love about South Park is that only colorado people will understand most of their jokes.

    Have they ever made one making fun of boulder? Seems like they haven't.

    The tundra is currently getting an alignment. Let's see what kind of imaginary problems they find with their "whatever point" inspection.
