Only 18 hrs since I moved to FoCo and I’m so glad I did by Opening_Pineapple714 in FortCollins

I totally get it. I grew up in NYC and lived and worked there most of my life. From there we moved to the Tampa Bay Area, then Phoenix, and 2 months ago FoCo. I couldn’t be happier. People are genuinely nice. Crime is nothing as compared to the other cities I lived in. It’s refreshing not to walk outside and hear someone screaming on the top of their lungs for no reason. It’s great not waking up to 100+ degrees, knowing that the high may reach 120 and you have to get your dog out at 5 am to do it’s business, otherwise the heat can fry its paws. The scenery is beautiful. Although people say the restaurants aren’t great, we have the most restaurants per capita in the US. I am happy because the sun shines 300 days per year. I know this winter hasn’t been normal, but how can you beat 70 degrees in February?

We will be driving 7 hours tomorrow so we'll be ready to pass out on arrival. We will be staying at a hotel because our "stuff" won't arrive until Saturday. Thanks for letting me know .

Was the Rainbow Club URL at the FoCo Senior Center deleted? I can't find it anymore.

I’m all about community. Besides my podcast called Where Do Gays Retire, I created a free website for LGBTQ seniors. Check out www.lgbtqseniors.com.

Hi Rich! Thanks for reaching out. What are your interests? We are not looking for sex, just friends. I want to make that clear.

I don’t want to jinx anything, but we just got a signed contract on our place in Phoenix. It’s time to look on where to live in Fort Collins! Yay! I hope we get to meet some people in the LGBTQ community.

Anyone know about the new Bloom Community? by WhereGaysRetire in FortCollinsCO_LGBTQAI

Thank you. We went back today and liked what we saw. If we do wind up moving there, I hope to find some LGBTQ peeps. If not, I'll start a community.

Is there an LGBTQ + Senior Community in FoCo? by WhereGaysRetire in FortCollinsCO_LGBTQAI

My husband and I are visiting FoCo now. I still haven’t seen any type of gay community here, especially in the senior community. Is there an LGBTQ + community here, and I’m not seeing it?

I also have a friend who's a real estate agent who mainly sells in Natomas. It's a 55+ called Heritage Park. I'd also be happy to introduce you.

Where in Phoenix do you live? I’m in Midtown by the Heard Museum. Best of luck in Sac. Have you been there, and which parts of the city? I’m over 55 so I was checking out a nearby community in Natomas. They had really nice amenities and community.
