Is Colorado laid back in Denver? How about Colorado Springs?
Is Colorado laid back in Denver? How about Colorado Springs? Do both those areas experience "Chinook" warming trends often times in the winter? How long and what temps can I expect when they hit? Is the area along I-25 fairly much "I'm ok & your ok as long as you don't hurt me"? I know smoking indoors in public is not ok. Is it politically correct and very liberal? I don't care if my neighbor is gay, has a gun, is union, right to work, pro-choice, or pro-life, but I don't like all the political correctness Illinois has. Nor do I like a rigid, uptight, government telling me how to live. IE. . A nanny state - big brother is there to take care of me whether I like it or not.

Colorado Springs is more conservative, Denver more liberal. Neither like a lot of government interference. Weather varies greatly..can get up in the 60s in the winter if a warm front comes through...but there can be 3 feet of snow the next day. Colorado is simply a fantastic place to live...people there love it, are very healthy, very active, very educated. It is a young, vibrant, highly educated, tech oriented place.

Having lived in the springs as its called by locals for the past year, heres my thoughts: 1. Winter- yes it can get warm in that area, but then again its VERY variable- it can be a blizzard one day then 2 days later you see grass and its 50. LOTS of wind all the time. VERY dry. But its generally sunny. Winter can last until April, like last year, but again its variable- one day warm, another cold. They just got 4 inches a few days back, but its now 60 out there so yea thats typical. Snow doesnt last on the ground like it does here though- its snow and melt in a day or two except right up by the mountains. 2. Yea- people around there are pretty laid back, they dont care what you do as long as you arent bothering them or breaking the law. Yea, its pretty much do as you will its your own business just dont let it bother me. 3. Denver is so big- you get it all, from Boulder to downtown life- its all different but in general again laid back easygoing. Yes, having now moved to northwest indiana after loosing my job in colorado- its definitely a big difference and I loved it out there- but the economy isnt much better and Denver costs almost as much to live in as Chicago does. Hope that helps.

Colorado Springs is very conservative. I don't think "laid back" is a term I would use to describe the Springs. Denver, for the most part is pretty laid back, live and let live as long as your dog isn't barking.

What ever you do , do not go to Colorado Springs it is very conservative and military mind set . Plus people there are some what belligerent . People in the Springs are in a universe on their own . You definitely like Denver especially downtown it is great place to hang and do what ever you want . Denver is generally laid back sometime too laid back . Denver is your best bet for a good time . Denver and Colorado Springs are different states of mind I can tell right now . I work in CS but live Denver area.
