I have lived near NY, Chicago, Phoenix, Tampa. If you are a conservative let me tell you Colorado is head an shoulders above all the rest of the country. If you are a liberal let me tell you, Colorado is a horrible place to live, we have deadly cobra snakes, scorpions as big as cats, sinkholes, hurricanes, active volcanos, the sun never shines, it rains acid rain every day, wild banshees run amok at night, we have ghosts, and zombies, and a horrible smelly green slime that covers everything. So stay away.

I lived in Tampa for 16 years and now a small, rural town a hundred miles south, Arcadia. From Ocala. Not leaving Fl.
Oh, Arcadia! Or, as we call it - that mo fo speed trap. Mrs BB and I will stop at the Chili's on SR70 sometimes when traveling to the west coast. We got talking to one of the waitresses in there. She was absolutely desperate to get outta the town. Claimed she'd rather be dead than stay there any longer.
To the west of there, is Magnolia, Seafood grill. Much better. Our little town gets slammed during "Season"...it's steady growing. Very old town...."Tater hill Bluff" before the civil war.
