ggod place to live - 7/2/2013
I've been living in valley for 6 years. I've moved here from right before crisis. It's good place to make money for young people, yeah..it still is. Though when I arrived, remember how many jobs in restaurnts, ski resort were, the only problem was to find housing, tahts' it , and it was a bit pricey, but compering to salary it was still worth it. Now situation haven't changed much. If you are hardworking , and have 2 jobs, u can save a lot! It's save, u don't need to worry even to lock Read More

Two grocery stores for food shopping - 7/10/2010
In Winter the grocery store closest to the ski lifts is so packed full of people it
is really difficult to move through the store, especially if you have a cart. It is
super crowded, very uncomfortable. The store's aisles are too small, it is old and
expensive, of course. IMO most everything I have purchased cost pretty much twice
as much as anywhere else. The fun part is listening to all the different languages
that you will hear, people from everywhere.

The other grocery store is more modern, newer, cleaner and less crowded most always.
However, the prices of just about anything is double what you would pay anywhere else.

The choices in both stores are limited in what they offer compared to a regular
size grocery store, i.e. safeway, whatever.

The upside is they do have a lot of organics.

And a person can always travel 20+ miles to find a really nice big new grocery store.

Money with an Altitude - 2/13/2006
I have only spent a short time in Aspen, so I can't comment on what it's like to live there, but here are my impressions. The residential areas in the center of town are the most outstanding I've ever seen. Every home is truly someone's castle and looks like every one of the million dollars the owner put into it. For this altitude, I was amazed at the care taken in the landscaping. Streets have clean sidewalks and friendly people walking by. In the higher elevations surrounding the city, the houses are more spectacular, but what's the point out there other than a spectacular view? Outside the center of town, the grid of streets quickly gives way to random roadways. The skiing facilities and access to them dominate the surrounding areas. The 'suburbs' (for lack of a better word) on the way to I-70 are rather undesirable and the drive can be harrowing. Speaking of harrowing, I entered town from the east on a two-lane road that was a white knuckle drive--not because of the Read More
