I'm not super excited about it. seems like there's plenty of good restaurants, and the winters will be milder, but the traffic is going to be a bitch. and yeah, reason for the move is fiancee got a job there.

US Navy took me to Orlando. I was there for two years before moving to Charleston SC. :cheers:

Omaha. I like my company and the town. Would recommend.

Colorado Springs. Still here. Part awesome, part dumpy. Not sure how long I'll live here.
I was in Colorado Springs for a work trip a few years ago. It seemed like it would be really depressing to live there.

It's basically Wichita with mountains and nicer weather. Not sure if it's my cup of tea.

That's a good comparison maybe. It felt like the local military base was bigger and the the town was smaller though.
-
kansas city. i like it.
-
Breckenridge. Was a good move. Trying to live a few places to experience a lot and know what I am looking for when planting roots somewhere. Also, moving long distance for work is the easiest way for me to get a raise.
I'm going to stay a couple nights at the Broadmoor for work in the next couple months. Doubt it will be a weekend, but would pak if so.

There is definitely a lot of military. Good for economy. Decent for college football. Bad for everything else. Town is more compact, but about the same population. From downtown south, it's pretty dumpy. Downtown on north is kinda nice. Manitou is alright.
Chicat- the Broadmoor is excellent. What line of work are you in?

Breckenridge is so great in the summer.

Des Moines.....it could be better.

Boston

Nothing beats Breck in the fall, IMO.

Madera, CA :Yuck:

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.
-
Started in Omaha, liked the city, didn't like the job. Now I live in Topeka, like the job, don't like the city :dunno:

Northwest, but yeah, not much of a scene for young grads. Getting slightly better, though.

Houston. Hot and traffic-y but I've liked it so far.

i would pit CO Springs up against any other city on planet earth in a battle of most chains/boxes

Belton, MO
Dump
Found that job in 4 days after my folks veto'd my "move to MT and be a fishing guide" dream (already had job and lodging squared up)
Left that company fast for fat Olathe stacks
-
NYC. Almost have to know someone there so you can crash for a few "weeks" before getting your own place. Or just be super fat stacks before you go.

I'm in Denver too. Also the Menver thing is way blown out of proportion. Denver has a ratio of 50%/50% men to women. Same as Wichita and 1% less than KC.

Is Colorado springs the Topeka of Colorado? Or is it more like a junction City?

it's not really like either. most of colorado springs is shiny and new boxes and chains, rather than dumpy and old boxes and chains.
metro area is almost exactly the same size as wichita

I'm so sorry.

My first real job out of college was in Auburn, Alabama. Decent town, but random dead people were consistently found off of I-85. The fine toothless folks of Auburn blamed the thugs in Opelika, Alabama. Also, drugs were dealt at the local Little Ceasars on College Street. Rascals.
-
Topeka. But I have lived here since 8th grade, so I'm used to it.

Move Back to Omaha but commute to Topeka. Boom! problem solved.

Down in Wichita, still there :beersmiley:

I live in Nebraska now. I feel like how I think a Coloradoan would feel if he moved to Kansas.

My first real job out of college was with a company called Pioneer Communications. I graduated on a Saturday, moved in with one of my pledge brothers on Sunday, started work on Monday and quit on Tuesday. I decided sales wasn't for me. FTR, they're no longer in business so I think I made the right decision. I spent the entire summer after graduation driving back and forth from KC to Manhattan, bartending at the Aggie Lounge on the weekends and interviewing during the week until I got my second real job.
