God Awful

I've lived here for about seven years, which is much too long to be suffering in a place like this. It has all the conservative features of Greeley but none of its available activities. It has two grocery stores but two dozen fast food places. Gas prices are higher than any surrounding areas. It is called "Vanilla Valley" because it is quite literally almost entirely white people.
Traffic is horrible because there is no room to expand Main Street (which, if you are going anywhere in Windsor, you will come across) and absolutely no public transportation (unless you count school busses). Drivers are terrible, and the driving population consists of maybe 40% diesel trucks.
As a graduate of Windsor High School, I can confirm that there are drug problems, racism, classism, and to top it off, garbage academics. Your options are "so easy I forget to stay awake" classes or AP classes. The only thing semi-decent about the school is its music program. Some people I know have been stuck with their class for the whole twelve years. With such spoiled rotten kids and others whose only goal in life is to wreak havoc, I can't understand how they survived the whole twelve years. I thought six years was bad.
Everyone in Water Valley thinks they are better than you. Everyone else seems to be okay, but are so generally conservative that they have voted against funding a new public library twice. But maybe it's because they need to save their money for the gas prices (which are regularly 30-40 cents more expensive than Fort Collins or Greeley for no obvious reason). You'll also need to buy a lot of it because chances that you'll find something entertaining in Windsor are slim to none.
Don't move here if you're looking for something affordable or care about where your children go to school. Or, if you're even a little bit democratic.
