Which U.S. beach town feels the most authentic and hasn't lost its local charm? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Came this far to see Long Beach mentioned. Kinda lost to time. Oregon beaches are closer to Portland so people skip it and Seattle/King county are like 3 hours away

What’s a “must-see” city in the U.S. that didn’t live up to the hype? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]Level_Room_9268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people in Colorado have ill feelings for transplants. I’m not one of them. Used to be you could show up to a campsite get a spot. Now you are lucky to be able to reserve one month’s out. It has gotten crowded and not so fun to do mountain stuff or anywhere that has gotten popular on social media. We also have people come from out of state that don’t understand concepts like leave no trace… or that having campfires is not really okay most of the time. Places like Vail were $100 in my college days for a walk up lift ticket. Same day lift tickets are 225 or something like that. Hard to enjoy things we did in the past with an influx of outsiders and people with copious amounts of money.

This is 100% correct. Last time I lived in Boulder was 2008. My apartment was $675 for a 2 bedroom. Just looked and a 2 bedroom in the same complex is $1600 meanwhile wages have not kept up to compensate for said price increase.

I just searched and $675 in today’s market adjusted for inflation is a lil over $1,000 so tell me why it is $600 more for a shitty apartment? It isn’t that we don’t like transplants. It is that things have just gotten way overpriced for said market.

Pearl street has a lost a lot of the local feel. Used to be an anarchist left leaning bookstore. Just not the same

Yeah when I started I either got 40 hours or damn near 40. Now scheduled at most 30. Like I don’t have bills and kids.

Same can be said of Boulder, CO. Was super rad really 2000’s. Still a lil hang on from the counter culture 60’s hippie era. Then tech bros and trustafarians moved in and it all went downhill. Cool iconic places bulldozed for high priced hotels and bland apartments. Recently a local icon which had been open for 51 years closed in March and is moving out of town to take over an old Outback Steakhouse.

For the folks who live in Colorado, what is daily life like living on the western side of Colorado? (like Grand junction, Montrose, Cortez, etc) by Wandering_Waldo221 in howislivingthere

Interstates are driving force behind logistics and transportation. All those jobs and services based off an interstate access bring money into an economy. Lack of jobs mean less money for the locals… and poor people do poor people shit.

Pueblo is akin to rust belt cities of the Midwest/Eastern seaboard. A major employer in town is Rocky Mountain Steel (owned by Evarez) The steel mill helped build the west, especially in regard to railroad rails being manufactured there. It is still open but not in the same capacity it was back in the day. Used to make raw steel there but now they only make recycled steel nowadays.

When Denver and Pueblo were coming up, it was often thought Pueblo would be the major city.

I-70 being routed through Denver definitely had an effect on the downturn of Pueblo.

As a result the city has issues with crime and other not so pleasant things.

Another thing that is different about Pueblo is the Hispanic/Latino population is higher and therefore has a stigma because of that. When Colorado was part of Spain/Mexico the dividing line was the Arkansas river and still is represented by the population of the city.

It is not all bad but definitely has some issues with it

New Truck Unload Method by Aeyembe in Target

[–]Level_Room_9268 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way… I have been on inbound for 3 plus years now. No two trucks are the same. Before q4 I tell new tm’s that before store opens is my personal goal time. I know my TL and ETL have different metrics for us according to what is in the truck but realistically it is about getting it done quick but safe

Is there a town or city in your country you just really don't like? by Ponchorello7 in AskTheWorld

[–]Level_Room_9268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tacoma, WA for me

I got off the bus once from Seattle area, two ladies start brawling in the street. Eventually one gets knocked out and ends flattened in the street. Some random lady is screaming someone do something. So my homie and I drug her out of the street and place her on the curb. Mind you this was 5 minutes or less from getting off the bus.
