I lived in Pueblo for 5 years.Pueblo is a pretty town in spots. Pueblo has
zero culture,although,it is not alone as much of Colorado lacks in terms of cultural things to do. Pueblo has no jobs. Most of the people are very friendly. The town gets considerably less snow than much of the state.
Many of the people you will meet here have lived their whole life in Pueblo
as have their parents and grandparents, so they are not crazy about non-Puebloans, but they are not unfriendly.Many people in Pueblo are not very
motivated to have a better life. The town has a largely lousy selection of
rests. Pueblo is a huge sports town, so if you don't like sports you won't
fit in, however; if you enjoy sports especially HS sports you will see a town
that comes to life around local football, basketball and baseball games etc.
The Pueblo Reservior is nice. The schools are poor in quality in comparison to the schools in No. Colorado Springs, suburban Denver, Ft. Collins and Boulder. It is very much a town where many people haven't decided to put their "high school glory days" past them. Pueblo with its good climate would
make a good place for a retiree who doesn't want to to experience cultural things out of life. Many people here have never left the city and many are
scared to see other things in life. Many people commute to Colorado Springs
to support their families as a mentioned earlier the town has few jobs professional or blue collar. Unlike Boulder, Ft. Collins or Denver its a very
cheap place to live but is mired by the low wages most people make in the town.
