Welcome to our world here in northern Arizona!!! People from California / Texas / and many other states are leaving in droves and moving to Sedona / The Village of Oak Creek / Cottonwood / Cornville / Prescott / Prescott Valley / Chino Valley / Dewey-Humbodlt...and buying up all the available houses / properties everywhere!! [/i][/b] Glad we bought our house five (5) years ago!!! *** PRICES ARE GOING WAY UP!! ***
We were considering Reno/Sparks a few years ago, Cold Spgs area. I am sure we couldn't afford to do it now. Prices over in Nevada are sky rocketing. I can't believe the amount of building going on in the Reno area now. What was once the Biggest Little City is turning into a just plain Big City. The small town friendly atmosphere is going away in your area. Heading your way in an hour to see the eye Dr.kk
Know this thread is about CO but how about Flagstaff. Been there a couple times and enjoyed the city and altitude. Also curious about the water situation.
Thread drift alert:Yes, Reno was better 20 years ago when I moved from Indy. Overall growth and sprawl happened, and the town is losing it's character. I liked downtown when it had old gritty places like the Little Nugget and the Reno Turf Club. You know, the kind of places you wipe your feet when you leave. While some places like that remain, the overall trend is gentrification. A beautiful female rider I know sums it up with a sticker on her Subie: "Keep Reno Sleazy." That ain't happening and it sucks. we are turning into Everytown USA.
My youngest is at the U. He graduates this year. Not sure if he'll stay there or move to Vegas for work. I'm going to try and head to Dayton this year for the state rally.
Go west to Williams. Property prices are better.
your youngest, that's not the little kid I met when we were out there. damn they grow up fast
and only an hour and half to Phoenix? What is the climate and scenery there? Cannabis legal?
More like 2 hrs by I40 & I17 or vice versa. High plains desert. Close to the mountains & RT66. Not that far from Flagstaff. If you go East....Holbrook & Winslow. As far as I know MJ isn't legal but anyone can carry/conceal without a license.
Was referencing the area around Trinidad and South of there . A bit less frou frou than other parts of Colorado ( ) and a little warmer . A friend who has lived in the Grand Junction area for twenty years has mentioned wanting out because of the cold and wind in the Winter . The part of Colorado between Trinidad and the NM border is beautiful , and since Jeff mentioned Cedar Vale , only a day away . Dusty
I like Shinbone, and a lot of the country south of the Picketwire.
Had to google that There actually is a town called Last Chance in Colorado . Dusty
It's fine country, pilgrim.
Is that a movie reference ? Never mind , google says it is dialogue spoken by John Wayne . Dusty
Liberty Valance, I had to google it. Big Mike has a way sliding in movie and Dead references in his posts.
Y'ep, that's the one. He's a Business Finance major. He almost changed to Accounting. I told him that for Honolulu it would be better, if it was more business with an emphasis on finance. He would be in a better position to find a job in Honolulu. A distant uncle has a tech firm doing business NYC, Shanghai & SF.He's currently interning with a property management firm in NYC. I don't think I need to worry about him. The oldest got his BS in Physics. He would like to go to grad school. He'll probably do that. Don't need to worry about him either.
Yep. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was set in southeastern Colorado. In a little town south of the Purgatoire River. Trinidad had to be the inspiration, if not Branson. First movie where he referred to someone as "Pilgrim". Its a classic. You should watch it.
Yes, sir!
I am one of the few guys who hasn't ever watched a John Wayne movie , and only one Clint movie . Of course I've only watched about 10 movies other than the Python stuff . Either fall asleep or get bored , or wonder if the screenwriter has ever read a history book . Oh , what was the movie with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda where they owned the house of ill repute ? That was a funny western . Dusty
Speaking as a retiring accountant after 37 years, finance would be a better choice if I had to do it over again.
Is Colorado really that much cheaper to live? I know when talking with motorcyclists out there, they pay to register one bike what I pay to register 4 bikes. Same with insurance. I guess it all comes down to perspective. I know for me Colorado would be a huge increase in expenses and taxes compared to where I am living now.
