Bradburn Village in Westminster, Colorado : UnSprawl Case Study : Terrain.org

I love it, at least one of the two commercial buildings I did make it in almost every photo spread I have seen lol. The grey work live on the west side, and the red brick on the east side are the two commercial buildings myself and one co-worker did for Sunburst.

I don't know how I became the poster child for conservatives, but I would rather not get that kind of input on the reputation comments.

Contact a mod. They're very helpful in these situations!

Actually, she contacted me (she knew me from our wild discussions on the thread about Dancing with the Stars). It helps to have "friends", I guess. The good news is that when I logged in today, there were no comments.

Thanks for your help.

I am a transplant in CA...and have moved all around...this has been the MOST difficult place to adjust too. I have always found it easy to adjust to other places...but here I am not willing to be so open minded my brains fall out. It is a human need to feel connected...and this is the most disconnected place I have ever been. Being raised in the south where it is normal to chat with strangers...folks dont even acknowledge you here unless it might benefit them. Everything is such a pretense...and everyone is guarded b/c they are afraid you want something from them...this is the majority of what I have experienced...However...once I found a church community...I was relieved to find some genuine folks...but yet... to some degree still guarded. I think native Californians (especially southern ones) dont know any different...it is part of the culture. I sort of feel bad for everyone who doesnt know what it like to be able to reach out and be kind to to others without expecting something in return.
