Greeley, CO - 1/17/2008
I lived in Greeley from 1961-1985 and near there in 1999-2003. It did not smell very nice because of the nearby stock yards and Monforts meat processing. If you like cold, snowy winters and hot dry summers, it's a great place. If you read the comments section of the local paper on line you can learn alot about the people there. We liked Greeley, our familys are buried there. The best thing about Greeley is that you are very close to the mountains. Fishing, skiing and camping were
