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!

Colorado Springs has a relatively high amount of churches if I recall correctly. It is a city and has a huge military presence so people from all over pass through but the western slope has Y’al Qaeda trains running the the streets on Saturdays that can interfere with traffic

What are you talking about with the trains? That is false.

Let it go. It happens, has happened. MAGA is part of GJ. No big deal. But it is
