I am finally escaping FL for good!
I'm outta here! Moving to CO this month and starting a new job... holy shit that happened fast. So fucking happy I just felt the need to share.

Please refer to the Seattle vs Denver thread for updated information on how you should feel about your decision to relocate to Colorado.

Yes, Colorado is terrible, way too crowded, I'm sure you'd be happier staying in Florida.

Congratulations! The day I drove my car loaded with everything I needed for a new job in Montana was one of the happiest days of my life. I was not even up here a day when I decided that I would not be returning to Tejas. Screw that hot hell hole. Leaving FL will be one of the best life decisions you've ever made. If you ever long for the beach or the ocean, it's only a plane ride away. I get my fill of the that once in a while and then I'm like "nope" and am always so happy to get back to the mountains. I <3 not sweating my balls off all year long. Also SOOOOOOO nice not having to take a vacation to go skiing.

Another one bites the dust. So it is me and Hook left? Any other FL mags? Wasn't somebody still in Titusville?
Can't really blame you. Orlando is hell. I really like my part of FL though. I did the CO thing for a while back in the day. Congrats, you will love it. Just don't move to Broomfield. You thought the FL cookie cutter suburbs were bad? Wait till you see that shitstorm. I'm not even sure how people find their house there. Hope Thelonius likes the altitude.

My brother taught for ten years at Dr Phillips High, in a constant state of misery. How bad? For him moving to Muncie IN was a little slice of heaven...
good luck!Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

West side of Broomfield is much better now, lots of new townhome development. Worse places to live, for sure. But yeah, point taken.

Ha. No. Spent a week there for work once, pretty sure a sinkhole there one of these days will open the gates of hell.

Thanks all! For now I will be crashing with my brother in Boulder, then my GF and I will be looking for a place when she finishes school in May. Looking at Longmont... Prices aren't bad in Broomfield but meh, we'll see. Not a fan of the cookie cutter deal.
Nothing could be worse than the density and congestion I've already dealt with here. I've spent a fair amount of time in the Denver area, and every time I'm there I'm blown away by how much space there is - that's the perspective I'm coming from.
As for the feathered friend - he's going back to the wild as I won't be set up to keep a hawk. Might have to take a break from falconry until I can get settled in but missing a few seasons won't kill me. It'll all be worth it to be rid of this mosquito infested swamp they call a state. I'll even get to ski this winter, fuck yeah!"...no hobby should either seek or need rational justification.

It is the worst place I have ever been, let alone lived. It's been crushing my soul. Originally Posted by Tye 1on

No matter how much we bitch about the front range your life will become exponentially better. Congrats to you.

Hit me up for a drink when you get to Boulder- I live next to Avery.
I'm around like 50% of the time until end of June or July when I'm moving to Golden.

We all have that place in our past. For me it was the San Fernando Valley (shudder). Moved to San Diego as soon as I had a job lined up. I hope you like your move as much as I have. Except for no nearby skiing, (6 hour drive to Mammoth) I have yet to find a nicer place to live year round. But I will keep looking. Originally Posted by flyandski365

If you like Disney World in July, you'll love Vail on Christmas week.

Yeah looking forward to putting it behind me. Only thing good about this place is it's where I met my amazing girlfriend. Originally Posted by liv2ski

Congratulations. Florida is the worst state in the Union not just for the weather, but for the disproportionate amount of schemers, dreamers and generally trashy fucks that migrate there to find their own easy living paradise. I sweat every tank top loving dirtbag from the northeast will eventually wind up there. Originally Posted by flyandski365
