While I agree wholeheartedly with the majority here, I'm expecting "those that be" to close this thread due to perspective disagreement in 5...4...3...2...
:popcorn:

We should start a pool for this thread being locked. Today, this week (Friday at 1700), this weekend? :police:

There is a sense of betrayal and disloyalty I am receiving from more friends than I though I would. This is zapping a little bit of my joy and excitement of moving to the TV next week - although I knew they would be saddened (I am too), I thought they would be more supportive of my move, and of course I have a guest room for friends to visit, and will be flying back to Colorado a few times a year to visit them and spend Thanksgiving. Would like to hear any comments from those of you, and how you handled the move away from friends to TV.

We are from Colorado Springs also, just closed this day on a home in Richmond. Small world. We will do the snowbird thing for awhile.

Wow, I think you make the 4th people I’m aware of buying in Richmond from Colorado.

I spent a year getting a MA in Librarianship and Information Management at the U of Denver in 1983-1984. Really beautiful country in that area of Colorado.

Still keep track of DU Hockey.

Know a few others who recently moved here from Colorado Springs. I used to live there from 2000-2011, and after 10+ years I was done living in snow states.
