Hey gang  waytogo

Looking to relocate away from Cheesman in January, any suggestions? I like LoDo and Boulder, any recommendations?

Cheers,
Adam

Nothing to add, but hopefully I'll be moving there some time next Summer, so I'm looking for suggestions, too.  chug

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

I like my neighborhood.  Grin (biased)

Highlands (not the Ranch).
Close enough to downtown, I25 access, walkable distance to a couple of shops/restaurants...

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

What did or didn't you like about Cheesman that is causing you to move from there?

A few reasons ...

1.) Colfax and the homeless squire crowd that gets drunk, beligerent, and is just a pain in the ass.  After having a guy jump out of nowhere and boot all over my feet (and the ensuing "brief, constructive chit-chat" I had with him) I kind of was all set. 

2.) Going west is kind of annoying when you're on the bike, I-25 is OK but if you're going north you end up having to cut diagonally across town. 

3.) Nothing terribly walkable that's worth mentioning over by Cheesman, and I like living in a vibrant neighborhood  waytogo

I like Capitol Hill, it's just where i'm at (14th / Williams) is in this kind of no-man's land...

Adam

I loved living in uptown.  20th & Park Ave. 

Could walk to Lodo, Coors Field, bars, all the fun restaurants on 17th St., walked to Cheeky Monk several times.... you get the idea.

Before I moved here, I had (wet) dreams of living in Boulder. Got a place in Superior (fine), worked two years in Boulder and am SO glad I live in Denver.  Boulder turned out, for me, to be too small of a town and not enough variety of fun bars with different faces in the winter. 

You may love it!  I'd pick LoDo over Boulder any day – now that I know.

But really, you're going to have fun wherever you land, right?!     waytogo

You find a place yet?

A friend of Stella and I has this place in Wash Park for rent (short term) at the moment:

Both nice  waytogo

... But quite a bit more than I'm paying now.  If I get into that range, a mortgage makes more sense.   Appreciate the heads up though!
