Relocating to Denver...

[XTRazzer]

You'll come running back to Cinci after the first snow season. Never, ever in my life have I seen a city (Cinci) shut down for 3" of snowfall.

For what use I am, here's a site I use when considering relocation: http://www.city-data.com/forum/

Visited there a few times seemed ok but pretty high cost of living. I have a friend who moved there about 8 months ago from Nashville. He lives in Lakewood (west side almost out to Golden) and he likes it real well.

I'm in Denver. PM sent.

when you say "earth under your feet" do you mean you want small town, or you just don't want to live in a loft in the downtown area? Congrats on the move, you will never regret it. I have never been anywhere that even comes close to being as great as Denver.

I would LOVE to live in Denver, I tried to make the move last year but I couldnt find 'the right' place to work.

Yep, small town, some land for the Greyhounds, and NO concrete jungle. I love my old home and block here in Cincy, but it comes with $, and I don't mean money. I am so tired of the "penguin walking, donk driving, nasty attitude, Section 8, "gangsta" wanna be's" in this area" JUST MY OPINION

Well, my apologies on the snow remark. Being from NE Ohio I was definitely baffled when in Cinci it snowed 3" crippling the city (sometime late 2005). From that point on, at any mention of snow I went home early and worked from there for the day.

I was only in Cinci for roughly three years (2005-2008) for work. Not sure what part you're in but I can definitely relate to your comments. When I left I swore up and down I'd never return. Now with the economy the way it is I'm changing my tune.


As much as I hate the idea, from someone who's relocated a few times, it's almost good to go for six months and rent a place until you get to know the area. Or if you do try to find a place over a week or weekend trip I would highly suggest getting someone who knows the area very well so you don't regret the move later.
