If I could rate all of Colorado Springs's local population on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being just downright rude, mean, and hateful; 10 being absolutely pleasant), I would have to rate it about an 6. The majority of the people I have met are very friendly, but at the same time, there are some who are just downright horrible. I'm not sure if it is the "granola complex" or what, but it is bearable. I have found the people react to you based on where you are from. For example, I am from North Carolina. Everyone is very friendly to me and very pleasant and nice. However, I have come to find out that the locals here really do not like Texans, for some odd reason. I hear it is because a lot of Texans re-locate here, and it is the "Yankee Syndrome" commonly found in the southeastern US (i.e. southerners hating northerners for moving down to live a better life...they feel like the northerners are taking over, which is true in some cases, but not all). Not sure why the locals are like this, but it is almost to the extent that it is territorial....
In any case, don't worry about the people here. Like I said, the majority of them are nice. If you come here, enjoy yourself...you are on vacation, so don't let any of the rude locals spoil it for you. Leave a Comment

Most people from outside the state pronounce Colorado like "ColorOdo." But the people that live here pronounce Colorado like "ColorAdo." Also, my Grandpa lives here and he says "crik" instead of "creek." :-) Leave a Comment

In Boulder, smoking is only permitted in hermatically sealed rooms within bars and restaurants. They're usually in the back and its fun to stare in the windows at them. Leave a Comment

Buy your lift tickets at King's Soopers. This is a supermarket that will save you half the price in most cases. We got a package for Winter Park that included lift ticket and lesson for $50.00 The normal ticket is $58.00 Do the math. Leave a Comment

Colorado natives are very proud of the fact--you'll see a lot of bumper stickers attesting to it. They also get very grumpy at rude motorcyclers who tear through towns at ungodly speeds--NOT us, but the few who spoil it for everyone Leave a Comment
