It snowed in CO the day I left! I’m so excited to get back to it but did appreciate the true Autumn weather I got these last few days. I moved to CO from Nova and remembered how I always got a 2hr delay the night before when they forecasted snow and closure as soon as we woke up to a few flakes on the ground lmao

Congrats! I hope you love it! I unfortunately didn’t have a lot of time to really get a read on the city as I was doing a ton of apartment showings and whatnot. This trip was dedicated to business vs pleasure. We’ll find our way soon enough, good luck!

I’m confused what you’re asking! I’m moving from Denver to DC and very happy with the choice! These things are all minor changes to get used to and just a part of a new city. They would likely be different anywhere I moved to and are certainly not dealbreakers (:

Adding some extra things here in this comment! My previous post I added a comment that said something along the lines of “please be nice I know y’all hate these posts haha” and a comment here that said “thank you!” was downvoted so I will do my best moving forward to not piss y’all off lmao

Here are the positives!

  • Currently at Baked & Wired and these are great! Very glad I listened to recommendations to come here instead of a more popular touristy spot.
  • I enjoyed hearing SO many different languages spoken
  • Everyone was so willing to offer suggestions and give thorough advice on where to live and what to see while here. They weren’t bothered by questions and in fact welcomed a lot more than I even had!
  • Went to Stan’s DC and loved the energy there and I feel like that’s where we really experienced the “Chocolate City” vibes with such a lively vibe
  • The buildings are so pretty and I loved that they were not skyscraper heights
  • Any folks experiencing homelessness were also very kind to me when approaching
  • Blown away by how walkable this city really is. That was my main reason for moving!

*also noting that my comment about men was for me and how they behaved towards other women as well! certainly not trying to flatter myself!
