Relaxed with time, Pueblo is still a major metropolitan area in the Front Range, but less expensive and quieter than other Colorado cities.

My home town ❤
beautiful
came back to watch this one again besutiful place
waiting for Cuchara !
The BriarHurst manor ,,,,
love this city
Try Pagosa Springs
I grew up in Aurora. I used to live on Mountainview Blvd and Paris St. I moved to Aurora back in 1989.
I grew up in Coos Bay. Your report is excellent. It is a unique and beautiful area. There are plusses and minuses of course like anywhere but I think the plusses outweigh the negatives. When I lived there, there was also a lot of creative stuff, music festivals, art, etc. which was really nice. It is kind of small town and it rains a ton though and it can feel a little bit closed in if you live there, I guess depending on your situation. I'm glad I grew up there and sure would like to go back more frequently than I've been able to in my adult life. So I esp. appreciate your video and getting to see my hometown again. The wildness of the beaches, the forests, the dunes, some of the most beautiful places on earth. Magical.
waiting for Cuchara !
Why oh why would you create and offer a list of rankings on the towns and then cover it up with your embedded tiles to your next videos? That is just awful…
came by again to visit this video ,,,,, Walsenburg ! I hope people never find it and ruin it
a place I might be able to afford ? awesome ! i wonder how far it is to Walmart ?
Littleton was once a quaint suburb
the Highline Canal was once a great place to walk and ride
arrowhead golf course ...
once upon a time a person could afford to live here ....1973 ...beautiful area !
Peyton ! down town Peyton !
nice and it was once affordable !
Enjoyed,and too expensive for the average person ,, ....
TRICARE!
My mother is from Canon City; my grandparents on my mother's side lived there. My grandfather worked as a prison guard at the prison there. Canon City is the Walla Walla of Colorado.
With Pike and Medano pass, I'm surprised you didn't mention the sand dunes😮😢
I live in trinidad colorado
Great video!
Awesome job once again
Thank you to you and your family for documenting these towns.
Back in 1968, while working at a summer camp near there, visited BV and ate at the H.Burger stand there, a couple of times. Hitchhiked there, no less. What times. Thanks.
Enjoyed
Woodland Park used to be such a nice little town until that Bible College moved in and priced everyone out. What a shame.
Walsenburg is a pleasant Colorado town and one I recall from my first time passing through it in 1968. I've driven through it many times since but never have stopped (except for gas) because after driving 3 days from the southeast I'm ready to get to my first Colorado destination, usually somewhere along the Conejos River near Antonito. If I could relocate to Colorado, Walsenburg or Trinidad would be my first choices...well, maybe BV or Salida, I don't know.
Lotta history in Trinidad, including all the time Mother Jones spent there during the infamous Ludlow massacre.
Thanks for the history lesson on the BV area. I've enjoyed several summer vacations around Salida, BV, Leadville and St. Elmo doing volunteer work on the Colorado Trail in the Collegiates with the Colorado Trail Foundation. Spent a very pleasant noon time in the BV town park a few years ago for lunch, sorting, organizing and repacking backpack gear for a few days of fly fishing on the Ark and some of it's tribs. I really enjoy your informative reviews of the towns in Colorado.
Enjoy your detailed reviews of these Colorado towns that I have, and will certainly, pass through.
Really nice just as you describe. I feel that being there to know and enjoy the place. Thank you so much from Guaymas, port of Sonora, northwest of México.
Always looking forward to your comments!
I live in Colorado so I go there a lot
Great job with history and pictures to go along with the this episode. Where did you get the pictures for this episode?
I’m sorry but this place is wack. Was stuck here for 5 years through a job and it sucked.. dirty people galore.. needles in parking lots. Town was just pointless to me. Nothing ever to do unless you drove a couple hours away.. the lakes were nice but hell no I swear I was in a crap hole. People literally here have no driven lives… maybe a few but for the most part they live off welfare and bs.. wack! glad I’m back home in FL now permanently.
Thanks for your show.
I dont understand how you ranked Elizabeth #1 as of your previous video or #15 video and now it is #10? You lost us
Good eye! I appreciate you catching that. What happened is that the COS video is when I really started buckling down and getting more serious about certain things with the channel. One of them was re-ranking the places we've been with more accuracy. Specifically, I changed our ranking system to "which towns we would like to go back to" instead of "oh neat what a cute little town".
The problem with this place there is no jobs to keep young kids here
Well done, I'm interested in this area to relocate and your video is very helpful. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed our city, now kick rocks.
Nice place but really a lot of people that day. Thank you!
It is a pleasure for me to continue getting to know Colorado through your effort and enthusiasm. I send you my thanks at the beginning of the second third (34) of your "100 Visit Plan". From Guaymas, Sonora, México. Luis Müggenburg.
Horrible to see that obscene open--pit mine.
Thank you for this. My father purchased an old house in Goldfield. We spent several summers in the area. It was a wonderful place back in the sixties!
AWESOME......You did a fine job 👏
