why is colorado treated like the middle child?

Pshaw. Fraser has Ft. Collins & the People's Republic of Boulder beat, hands down.

if you think tours skip colorado, try living in fucking hawaii. the only time they get anyone remotely good is if they are stopping over on the way to or from asia. it's too expensive to ship all the equipment over just for hawaii.

fast food nation has a pretty good section that details how colorado has gone through changes in the last 15 years or so.

growing pains

I was born in denver and raised in englewood. even after living in DC, philly, and new york I still love colorado and miss it a lot. its a beautiful state. and like pretty much any other place, if you know where to go, its a dope place to live. running joke with my friends now is "are there any black people in colorado?" to which I answer "yes and I know them all". har.

anyway, yea sure some tours don't stop through there but most do. I never had a problem, actually...I saw michael jackson twice, janet jackson twice, stevie wonder, whitney houston (hey its was the 80's) - all at mcnichols (sp) arena.

anyway, I'm a cowgirl, always will be. I love the look on people's faces when I tell them thats where I was born. makes me feel kinda unique. be proud, chin up.

very lame mike

wait, there is something besides white capped mountain in colorado, how have i missed that all these years

I left shortly after the Mercury Cafe went the way of the Dodo.

Casa Bonita would put ANY state on the map.

I completely agree with Huny though. This state is a freaking blast if you know it well enough. I've lived and visited all over the states and have yet to find a state I'd rather call home.
