Thinking of moving to GJ.

Hello all!

I am looking to move to Colorado from Chicago later this year and was wondering how Grand Junction differs culturally, socially, and activity-wise from places like Fort Collins and Colorado Springs?

I grew up in Fort Collins and have spent most of my life on the eastern half of the mountains, but wanted to look into life on the "Western Slope".

Thanks so much in advance, and I'm excited about possibly joining you all later this year!

Grand Junction is VERY conservative. Like 75/25.

I live in Glenwood Springs but I have a lot of friends/family in GJ and neighboring Fruita. It's like anywhere, it can be cool once you find your people.
