Every day I realize more and more why I love calling Northern Colorado home. I am obviously not alone in my love of the area. It's old news now, but Fort Collins was named the best place to live in America by Money Magazine in 2006. http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2006/snapshots/PL0827425.html This study hit on the obvious points to what make Fort Collins great, but there really is so much more.
For one, people here are just different. There really is no formula that can explain why, but it is quickly known after you have spent some time here. I had a friend once say that the people here are just "chill". I mean, that really does sum it up. They are kind, level-headed, fun-loving, energetic, happy people. Obviously that's a generalization, but it's true for the most part.
I have traveled extensively in my lifetime and have rarely found anything remotely like this. There are swanky towns, bustling cities, wide spots in the road... and all have nice people. But there truly is something different. I have had relatives comment on this before and it baffles them as well. I have had people relocate here for the sole purpose of getting into "whatever all the other people out here have".
Is it in the water?
I don't know. All that I know is that I am proud to be a part of this vibrant community. So proud, in fact, that I think I'll stay.
Old Town Fort Collins
