Started out in Wichita, then finally moved to Denver, which is roughly 1,000,000X better (sorry Ta Town.) Only really down side is that there are too many dudes in Colorado.
As far as Colorado Springs--the northeast section where all the fires and floods are is one of the most beautiful settings of any city on Earth, but it's basically got nothing a young person out of college would want in a city. Unless you're ultra religious and conservative.
