Well then....Pueblo would ALSO be reaching ALL of the areas around it too, such as,......Colorado Springs, Canon City, Trinidad, La Junta, Alamosa, Walsburg, Peyton, Ellicott,...etc. Right?
Where are the boundaries? 10 miles, 20, 30, 40, 50?
Do they connect by East and West? North and South?
AND,......who exactly decides this????
I will HAVE to pick Colorado Springs as the best Downtown. I really want to pick Pueblo because it is closer to my area and heart but,.....CS is much more diverse and WAAAAYYYY more beautiful!!!!!
All one has to do is,...look at the scenery and the way to get to every part of Colrado...hands down...it's CS!!
Sorry Joss.....Pueblo will never be CS OR DENVER.....Thank Gosh!!! I think that is why you love it so much!! Right?

I am not sure exactly how to answer your question but to say that the metro area I compare us to is Minneapolis/ St Paul. They have two principal cities surrounded by suburbs. I believe as our area grows we will do the same thing, that it is not a matter of if but when.

You don't have to be sorry if you like the Colorado Springs downtown better, in fact, I expected Pueblo to lose this poll as Pueblo usually gets looked down upon in Colorado. That does not change my opinion on Pueblo's current downtown or the future of it.

Colorado Springs downtown does not have anything downtown Pueblo does not have yet downtown Pueblo has many amentias that downtown Colorado Springs does not have and will most likely never have.

NO JOSSEPPIE!!!
You yourself in your original OP said,.....Lets limit this to PUEBLO AND COS!!!
I say and,...still say,.... I think COS has the better Downtown ( although my area and HEART is in PUEBLO).
IF PUEBLO happened to be in the heart of Canon City then...yes,..it would win hands down!!
I cannot vote that way however! I TOO love my town!! WE ROCK!!

It's kind of like Minneapolis and St. Paul, with Pueblo being Fargo or Des Moines....

Fargo has been hogging all the attention with all of it's excess water reserves (like Pueblo), but one of these days Des Moines will get the attention it deserves!

I thought you said Pueblo was only 100k people but on the post before this one that Pueblo is 760k. That is a big difference in my book. Hey have you thought about changing your user name to something like "thepueblodreamer"? Just wondering because you have some pretty wild ideas.

This is what I said:

Even if you combined COS and Pueblo you'd only have 760,000 people.........

That was the metro area of Colorado Springs and Pueblo combined.

Sorry, but your comparison is totally wrong. CS/Pueblo will never be like MSP/STP for so many reasons.
