Flower Mound has a rural, horse farm type feel. Not anything like Frisco. I shudder thinking about what Frisco used to be like and what it is now.
I have an uncle there. Isn't it basically a mini-Mumbai these days? That's what he says. Frisco is what I'm referring to.

I couldn’t live in that ultra liberal state. No way.
You’re generalizing too much. Just like Oregon and Washington, the cities may be full of hippie freaks, but the smaller towns and more rural areas are full of normal people. Those people don’t believe in what the left is peddling.
That looks like an incredible place to live!

They moved there in the late 90s/early 00s. Said it was damn near paradise for a young family. He hates it now.

groceries are actually cheaper.
Is this because they don't have the shrink that stores in more...cultured areas?

Good for you baw. Looks incredible.

Stunning photos. CO is a beautiful state and like some others have said, the liberal element is probably overplayed outside larger cities/college towns, but it's there.
Gas? Seafood?

You make it down to the penny arcade in Manitou yet?
Colorado Springs is amazing. The hiking is awesome. You have plenty of
City things to do and you are just a short drive of being in the thick of the mountains. The only thing I wish it had were some decent ski slopes nearby.
Make sure you check out Wimberger’s German bakery and deli. And Sherpa garden. Plus, they got a Rudy’s if you want some decent Texas bbq.

CO Springs is nice. Food scene is horrendous.
Nope. Plenty of good food places there. You won’t find great Cajun food but there are lots of other good restaurants. The food is not something to complain about…I’ve been to many food deserts and this ain’t it.

The liberal element is absolutely not overplayed. Colorado is essentially California right now. It's a far left state in 2026.

Well, maybe not the "only" thing. I miss the shrimp, man. $9 a pound for frozen "gulf" shrimp here. Miss the reds and trout too. Hoping to go fishing here soon.

Saw something about penny arcade on the local news. Manitou is such a cool little place. I like Old Colorado City too. Took a tour of Broadmoor, that was neat. I like that area of the city, up by Gold Camp road and Bear Creek is super nice. Coworker told me Wimbergers, Ranch Foods Direct too. Need to check those places. I think my coworker said Wimbergers may even have boudin.

Had Chicken Fried Chicken at Mackenzies that was fire. Pretty damn good cheesecake too.

Man, those pic look beautiful! I lived in Colorado early in my career…..there were a lot of things I loved, but a lot that I hated, too.
I didn’t realize how much more comfortable dry air was until I moved there.
When I lived there, there was a strong bias against outsiders that moved to the state. Coming with a Louisiana, there was no doubt that I was an outsider, so I was not able to make many friends there. That coupled with the high cost of living and extreme traffic had me moving back to the south within a couple of years.
I still try to take a fly fishing trip every year to Colorado.

Colorado’s population is estimated at 5,862,189 (2024 ACS), with a median age of 37 and a nearly even gender split of 50.6% male and 49.4% female. The racial composition is predominantly White (73.5%), followed by Multiracial (12.7%), Hispanic/Latino (21.3% of total), Asian (3.2%), and Black or African American (4.0%).
Do Latinos count as diversity or does diverse only mean black? Trying to figure out how strong Colorado is since diversity is strength.

Santa Barbara real estate is magnitudes more expensive than Colorado Springs

Unless you move away, and see how nice places really are, you think Louisiana is nice, lol.
I've lived 10000+ miles away. I've vacationed in 42 states now.
I will never live outside of Louisiana again.
The humidity and dark earth of the atchafalaya basin are in my blood.
Once a year I make it a point to go somewhere with a real winter... to remind me that the snow gets fricking old really quickly
