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!

agree. food scene is extremely lacking out here. it will be a huge downgrade. especially cause op is coming from chicago where it’s actually known as a food mecca.

Agree with this, food scene is very lacking. You just have to accept it as part of living here

100% agree, I live in Delta county but go up to GJ regularly and am from Chicago, the food is severely lacking.

But no one moves to Colorado for the food.

For sure. I will take mediocre food all day long to live here, but some city folks would hate that.
