Question.

J&K10910 · June 2010

What kind of bear is best?

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

Black bear.

No really, Kiki, if I were wanting to move to CO where would I want to live?

mags0607 · June 2010

Since this is another kiki thread, just wanted to tell you guys, I finally figured out who the other kiki was. Now, I am not so confused.

I want to come to CO. It looks so tranquil and beautiful. Roxy are youand T moving?

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

Hahah I wish. I dream about moving all the time and so does he but we don't know to where. I've narrowed it down to SF (to expensive), North Carolina, South Carolina or Colorado.

InferiorToKaos · June 2010

roxybabe: For us it's down to CO or OR

kikibaby · June 2010

Well, I live in Denver and I love it. It depends what you're looking for, though. Denver is a decent-sized city, about like Seattle. It's actually getting a little crowded for me.

Ft. Collins has won several awards as one of the best cities to raise a family in. It's very quaint, and about an hour from Denver. It's a college town, too, so it's got a decent night-life even though it's not a big town.

Let's see... there's also Boulder, which is a major college town, but it's gorgeous! Very expensive, though.

Stay away from Colorado Springs, it's weird.

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

I've semi considered OR but I keep deciding against (for no reason). You had enough of the heat too?

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

Thanks Kiki! See I'd like to live in Denver if I actually lived IN Denver. Like a downtown lofty apaprtment (can you tell I live in a dream world?) otherwise, I'd want to rent a house somewhere.
My grandparents live in Greeley and I like it but I didn't see much on Craigslist.

InferiorToKaos · June 2010

roxy: my whole life I've been tired of the heat...and I need GREEN in my life. You should reconsider Oregon. We lived in Hillsboro area for 6 months in 2008...we almost didn't leave.

kikibaby · June 2010

Well, Ft. Collins is near Greeley. I will say though... I'm not a fan of Greeley. It's pretty podunk and there's a lot of farming and meat factories there, so it smells like arse in the summer.

Downtown living is great here. I used to live downtown, as did most of my friends. It's actually still do-able. Maybe not a huge fancy loft (well, unless you've got a mil to drop), but you could find a place for $800-$1000/month. There's also a neighborhood called Capitol Hill which is walking distance from downtown- it's a little rougher, but full of young people. It's very artsy, independent shops, restaurants, bars. Rents there are more around $400-700/month.

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

I can't imagine dealing with this heat my whole life. We want rain, badly. We were talking about going to Ireland for a year and an irish guy told us not to because its rainy and cold all the time, we were like "perfect!".
I just have something against OR, no idea what it is...I can't explain haha. Maybe I'll look more into it.

InferiorToKaos · June 2010

My FIL just came back from his 3 year work stint in Ireland. He loved it...and they lost a ton of weight because they walked everywhere!!! No wonder I'm chunky, I can't stand 10 minutes outside...it was 104 today!!!

JessAndTrav · June 2010

Um, Roxy? Move to Texas, mkay? Dallas gets hot in the summer, but it's nice and cold in the winter. Lubbock is like that, too.

And Texas gets lots of rain 'round these parts!

Love,
Jessica

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

Kiki- Yea, I know Greeley smells. It actually wasn't bad when I was there last summer it was so weird it didn't smell like Greeley.

Capitol hill sounds like my type of thing. I like places that have character

Kaos- Lucky! It's looking like we can't go because we won't be able to get hired there

We want to so badly. Today was awful hot, and I have no air in my jeep. Sucks.

kikibaby · June 2010

It gets pretty hot in the summer here, too. We have 100+ days, but probably not as many as Phoenix.

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

Hmm I think Tex ASS :P gets too hot and not cold enough. We really, really want a bit of snow in the winter and seasons, 4 of them. We went from Alaska (2 seasons) to Arizona (2 seasons) we want inbetween

JessAndTrav · June 2010

UM...DALLAS GOT A SHIT-TON OF SNOW THIS YEAR.

Those bitches.

You're clearly not understanding, by living in TEXAS you'd be closer to ME, and c'mon, you know it's worth it.

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

Kiki- yup, thats why its perfect. Hot summer days (with thunderstorms- my fave), cold winters, spring and fall.

Jess- I get it now! Ohhhh

eastunder1 · June 2010

Colorado Springs is a fantastic city. It IS a weird mix of people (conservatives, military, outdoor health nuts and liberal hippies) but thats part of what makes it great.

JessAndTrav · June 2010

See? SNOW.

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

Eastie- You live in Co huh?

eastunder1 · June 2010

Betcha can't guess what city.

kikibaby · June 2010

Yeah, I guess I've never LIVED in the Springs, so I can't say 100% but... it is a weird mix of people indeed. It is pretty, though.

kikibaby · June 2010

I had no idea you lived in CO, east

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

I remember now that she once said she said. Okay, she's probably said it more than once but I only remember the one time.

I want to moooove and get a new car.

eastunder1 · June 2010

Yeah Kiki, The Springs does have that reputation for being somewhat of a overly conservative, religious nutjob city (thanks Ted Haggard!) but living inside of it you would never know it or feel it. I'm sure there are pockets of zealots here or there but really, its just a normal city.

(A normal city with a top notch resturaunt scene, heavy emphasis on outdoor activites and 300 days of sunshine! Are you getting this, Roxy? Plus... shoes!)

nda_roxybabe · June 2010

You want me to move there so you can come steal my shoes. (did I get that right?)

kikibaby · June 2010

One of my favorite steakhouses is in the Springs, actually- The Famous.

Don't lie, east, you ARE Ted Haggard.
