Everything new in town is growing towards the west of Campus by several miles. The West Campus is surrounded by 1960s vintage residential and business mix neighborhoods, and the Central Campus has a much older neighborhood of the early 1900s through the 50s and adjoins a block of old main street (8th ave.) business district. Nothing is growing there, and it does not show too well. W. 10th st is a booming business corridor as is the Hwy 34 corridor several miles to the south. If you drove to Greeley up the old hwy 85 from Denver, I can see why you thought it is a dump, but that area is where some of the best Mexican food on the planet can be found. If you came up I-25 and then east on 34 until you saw the signs for UNC down 11th Ave you did not see much impressive either.

Via what used to be a very small bump in the road between Ft. Collins and Greeley known as Windsor, the amount of open space between the two cities is down to not even worth mentioning, it is all one big town anymore.

On the West Campus, parts of McKee Hall (education) in left foreground, Candeleria class building on right (we called it the "bunker"), and the very prestigious James A. Michener Library in the middle left. That's Longs peak in the background-

We went in on 34 to 10th St since we were coming in from Estes, drove around, what seemed like the entire town, and left on 394 S towards Denver/I85.

Clenz you live in Iowa, how can you say anything negative about Greeley. New parts of Greeley are west on highway 34 around 35th Ave and west of that. Greeley is 45 minutes away from Rocky Mountain National Park and 45 minutes away from Denver. Loveland is only 15 min away for shopping at Centerra or watch a concert or hockey game at the Bud-wiser event Center. Ft Collins is about 30 min away so partying up there is easy. Greeley Stampede every summer in July and farmers markets everywhere. Greeley Country Club and several other golf courses around. Yes parts of Greeley are ugly and old but its really not that bad of a place to live.

What does me living in Iowa have anything to do with it? Eastern Colorado is EXACTLY like driving through Iowa, but with shittier quality corn fields to look at.

I've driven through Montana and the only two states worse to drive through, that I've been two, that are worse than Montana are Nebraska and Missouri.

UNC used to have a student ratio of 6 females to 1 male for incoming freshmen, about 5 to 2 graduating. Probably still pretty much the same.

Must have made it as far west as Billings. As much as I hate the drive from Portland to Billings (really Bozeman to Billings), I am really glad I do not have to go any further east than Billings.

Having had the experience of driving across Iowa many times and sampling the aroma of Sioux City, I can see where MT features such as mountains, lakes, rivers that have moving water, and fresh air would be confusing to an Iowan.

Sioux City is right there with Greeley. PU!

Seriously, clenz, you must have had your eyes shut the whole way through western MT if you thought it was "bad" to drive through, especially compared to your home state. :roll:
