Review of Pueblo, Colorado


Southern Colorado Culture
Star Rating - 4/6/2006
Pueblo has the southern colorado culture which basically means that people aren't too ambitious. Stores run out of stock, shops close 'when there is no business' places that open at 9:00 really open 'when the owner gets here'. Schools aren't too good because nobody really cares. The town has some 'good paying' jobs at about $12 an hour. And there's a power elite that doesn't let anyone but the good old boys in. If you're looking to retire and don't want night life, shopping, or traffic - this is a good place. If you want any stimulation - intellectual or otherwise, go to colorado springs.

Chuck, I agree many people in Pueblo do lack ambition. You are 100% right the job market is awful in Pueblo and the public school system is a joke. I agree Pueblo is a place better suited for a retiree.

even Wal-mart is like this. Every trip to that store makes me feel like its old Russia with empty shelves.
