One thing, huh?
Okay, here it is.
Greeley, Colorado sucks. Don’t ever come here.
And just so you know, Bob Denver lied.
Colorado isn’t that great either.
Tell your friends. Get out of here. Go find out why everyone is talking about Pittsburgh!
Translation – It’s not the quiet little town it used to be. We could use a few less people here.

I’m pretty sure you’re joking, but…
There’s roughly twice as many people in Pittsburgh, bubba.
And as a native Pennsylvanian, I don’t go there or to Philly without a GREAT reason (barring weddings and funerals) and I just responded “No, but thanks for the invite” to a wedding just outside of The Pitt. (that wasn’t anything to do with the city, though. Just won’t be able to make it there from Mexico City on the Big Day).
This may be a case of “the grass is always greener”, you know….
I was and I wasn’t joking. When we moved to Greeley, teh town pretty much ended at 47th ave. Oh, there was some stuff, mostly small homes, fields, and the Jr. College. Now, it, Windsor, Evans, La Salle, Loveland and even Fort Collins are merging. A new Apartment complex goes up every other week. Our police, fire, and EMS is stretched to the breaking point. Water rationing is very real. Brownouts happen. And the growth isn’t slowing. personal opinion! If I could, I’d leave!
I enjoyed Denver when we lived there, Richard. We moved to Bourbonnais, Illinois and I went to college there when my parents moved from Colorado Springs.
We were happy to return to Iowa after 5 1/2 years in Aurora. We enjoyed living in Idaho much more, as beautiful as Colorado and not as crowded!
