Alfred Packer, good one! Doesn't Boulder celebrate that?

Tattered Cover... the old original that probably isn't there anymore... or it's franchised and ruined.

Bell Game! Right Joss?

John Denver is from Utah! Or I don't claim him anyway.

Trinidad Colorado... Transmission overhauls...

Party Town USA! Makes Swillwuakee look like a Sunday School!

Nose-mining Capital of the Planet! When have you ever pulled up to a red light, looked over at the car next to you and seen some chick/dude knuckle-deep, just a diggin' away?!

RedRum!

Southpark!

Denver's infamous/famous (for some in the Know) York Street... 1311?


Wolf Crick Pass


Vanishing Point! Groovy man!

For the Broncos, the dreaded socks and the dreaded helmet.

Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center - what army tech guy of the last 40 years didn't get sent here for training?

Gee, where do you stop?

Suzy Chapstick?

Oh yeah, previous posters pointed out two really conspicuous that I missed... Southpark and Coors.

Everyone knows Coors, and that it's from Colorado. Southpark is still kind of a cult phenom, and a lot of viewers probably don't realize that it's a real place - in CO...

I'll revise my list again...

If you walked up to a random stranger in a far away state and asked 'what comes to mind when you think of Colorado?, then they would probably say...

1) The Colorado Rockies
2) Skiing - e.g. Vail, Aspen, Breck
3) Coors
4) It's a Mile-High
5) Rocky Mountain High (John Denver)

That's funny - I didn;t think of that... but you're right... That might ave to usurp 'Mile High' in my top 5.

I tried posting the question 'what's that pops into your head when you think of Colorado?'... It only lasted about 15 minutes before some smart-alecky mod moved it to the CO page at which point it seemed useless to ask that question to people who already live here. But I did get a couple responses...

One person said 'skiing'. The other, who was obviously tainted, said, 'brown rocks', 'the color brown', and 'Californians'.

COLORADO is one of the four corner states, although the marker is 2.5 miles away from the actual site.
