Hated all three, although North Carolina had the best weather and wildlife. Was it the area or just tough ? Tbh NC and Col are high on my list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stinks not being with your friends and family but with FaceTime and crap it’s better. My big mistake was being in a rural part of MD when I’m not comfortable in that setting.

Tbh NC and Col are high on my list I love North Carolina in a post-apocalypse scenario where there are no people. I looked around at all the small towns for a really good distance (I'd say 100 miles) and I didn't find anywhere that I liked. Everywhere in that area is either too crowded and full of people or there's nothing there. Traffic is horrible for such a small city. Lot of great things about North Carolina though. A LOT of great things about North Carolina. It's a really underrated state in my opinion because even though it's a "southern" state, it's not as bad as it's made out to be. Colorado is just not for me. Do not take my opinion on Colorado. It's pretty funny because I am not a pot guy at all. I've literally never tried it before once in my life not because I hate it or anything, just because it's not something I'm interested. I moved there a week before it got legalized. I will say that the mountain towns of Colorado are amazing. Estes Park is amazing. If you move there, I would strongly suggest being in a town near there. Fort Collins or Windsor. I lived in Windsor, Colorado and it's a fantastic little town of about 20,000 people. If Colorado had the weather and wildlife of North Carolina, I would have never left it. Fort Collins is alright. I just really can't stand hippies and there are a lot of hippies there and it gets cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because based off of your interests it sounds like you would prefer somewhere in the mountains. I would say Asheville but that would put you right there back with the hippies. It's a very liberal area. I lived about 45 minutes west of there for a little while and it was great. Easy walks down to waterfalls. A couple mile drive to get into town to a Wal-Mart. There's also a D1 school there with a miserable football program, but hey it's something. The Smokys are something else though. I would love to move back out there.

Honestly, the triangle (Raleigh, Durham, & Chapel Hill) is becoming more and more liberal dominant. And then probably Charlotte. So really the major cities in the state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College towns and major cities are almost always more liberal while rural and suburban areas are more conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) When I refer to hippies, I'm not referring to liberals. I've got nothing against liberals for the most part. Speaking non-politically of course. I'm talking about liberal with their use of ketchup of course. Hippies are people in Colorado who literally stink, are wildly pretentious, who think they know art because they can diagnose a Salvador Dali painting, who fart in glass bottles and have a fart smelling party, who can list five soundscape musicians... I could go on. Hippies are basically petulant children who picked a state to run away to because they're upset with their parents and want to make their friends from high school jealous and end up in massive, crippling debt by the time they're 27 while acting like entrepreneurs because they bought a stock once and know all about Steve Jobs. I know Portland, Oregon is full of hippies, too. Most of them aren't even liberal ketchup users. I know a bunch who are conservative with their ketchup use that live in Portland. Knew a bunch in Colorado who were conservative with their ketchup. Edited March 21, 2018 by HorizontoZenith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I was born in Fort Collins and I love it, and I went to school in Boulder so I am accustomed to the ways of the hippie. Just go hack on the quad brah. I get it though. I loved the wilderness, the generally laid back vibe, and the pot. I live in Oklahoma now, and I do not recommend.

You left your Jeep lights on." and three guys will get up to go check. In Denver there are what I call "bruhs" everywhere. The half stoner half bro/frat boy type. They kinda suck. My "Boulder in a nutshell" is a blonde girl with dreads on her IPhone, sipping a Starbucks, complaining about capatalism while getting into the BMW her dad bought for her. Boulder is the worst. All in all Colorado is pretty good though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
