[quote:INANNA 485858:MV82ODQ0MTJfMTA0NDYxOTdfRDNBMjdFMTk=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 569069] I had moved to Denver from Seattle a few years back and I returned to Seattle after 5 years. I can only imagine the NYC jump will be more of a culture shock than Seattle was. Before I get jumped on, lemme say I met a lot of nice people with good hearts and that does not reflect on my opinion about Denver or Colorado in general. I visit Denver often and it has a unique personality that can't be explained. However, long term it was not my cup of tea. This is from the perspective of a then artsy 30ish female who likes a variety of music, arts (shows, clubs, gallerys), styles and foods who isn't big on sports. It's beautiful (jaw droppingly beautiful) and there is plenty to do if you like the outdoors (hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing) and the Broncos. For me, after the beauty part was fully appreciated I found I didn't quite "fit in". I felt for a large city it had a limited perspective. You will miss food most -authentic Asian, Japanese and Thai, fresh seafood, real pizza and any other ethnic food (Greek, Italian) you may enjoy. I missed good coffee but that’s a Seattle thing. However you will taste the best Mexican food ever. Flip side - My husband's family made the same move and they love it there. They fell into a nice town outside the city (north) and love the small town life with easy access to the city/mountains. [/quote] thank you for that thoughtful and insightful post :-) [/quote]
Original Message
Considering a move to Denver, Southwest near the foothills. Any thoughts from others who have moved from NY or elsewhere to Denver, or lifetime Denver resident comments welcome.
If you moved there from NY, are you going to stay since you love it so much?
If you moved to Denver from somewhere else, do you want to stay?
Or, are you in NY or elsewhere and want to get out of Dodge and are moving to Denver as well?
thx.
