Joe Cervi is so far out of touch on this...

...you’ll only be able to reach his in the parking lot that used to be Old Mile High. Tell him to subscribe to MHR before he writes another article.

I lived there for many years.

There are a lot of good people there. There are also quite a few jerks. But what town doesn’t have that?

I lived there for 4 years.....

it has the potential for greatness, but wants to settle at looking back.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of that.

The days of hundreds of people working the steel mill are long gone. Pueblo is going to have to make it’s living some other way.

When were you there? I was there from about, uhg, the years all run together, I think ‘82 till about ‘86 or ‘87. (It’s my wife’s job to remember stuff like that.) After that I starting moving south, city by city. Now, I’m almost in New Mexico.

I lived there from 2002-2005....i guess it felt like 4 years!

The city has lots of water available and could become another golden city. Sadly, local politicians botched the building of a Wal-Mart distribution center in 2005 and cost the area 700 real jobs! That’s not even the counting the other jobs that would be needed to handle an influx of money.

I like the Springs.

It’s a beautiful place. The politics are pretty conservative though. It is the polar opposite of the People’s Republic of Boulder.

I'm much farther south than you and now I'm trying to move back north.....

Colorado Springs would be a good place to settle.

when I lived in CO ( i left in 87)

That place stunk and was almost a ghost town. I remember when the legislature approved the CO Lottery they made Pueblo the HQ for it. SO when my dad ended going to work there after coke, he would have to go down to HQ once a month. I hope that place gets better. But their “sports” writer could work for espn. He would fit right in

Actually,

Pueblo was the home of a very well known journalist, Damon Runyon. Standards have slipped a little since then.

Oops.

Well, that didn't work either.

I meant to put my comment about Colorado Springs right after mdierk’s comment about trying to move there. Curse these darned infernal contraptions!

I left CO in '65

because it was getting too crowded. Alaska is a little more sparsely populated and thanks to MHR I can keep in contact with the Broncos!. Life is indeed good.
