If you are going to live in Colorado Springs or even close, just know it is one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
I will talk about CS here -
Summers do get hot but not humid. Winters can be a real pain but not AS bad as people imagine.
There are a couple attractions like historic Manitou Springs and also Garden of the Gods which is like a miniature Grand Canyon.
Drivers there are courteous but watch out cause some intersections hav cameras catching people who run red lights.
The landscape is mostly really nice, not run down.
It is NOT a salt state so your car won't get eaten alive in winter.
Weed is legal yes but you have to go to dispensaries, I think the legal limit to buy is once ounce per day.
And the rockies, they are not off in the distance, they are RIGHT THERE at the west part of town. You won't believe how awesome it looks.
Pueblo is about 35 miles south of CS but you are not missing anything, that town is basically "meh" at best.
I am not in Colorado now but lived there for eight years of my life. I love it.
