I currently live in Loveland. It is OK if you like old people and no night life. I am going to move back to Fort Collins in the next year. I love the FC area. Great people, great place.

Yup. When we were looking at buying, we looked into Loveland a bit because it's cheaper. So, so, so glad we didn't do that. Even if we had kids, FoCo is still the place to be.
My wife just took a new job in Louisville, darn near to Boulder. There has been no discussion of moving.
Louisville is pretty darn nice. Most of my co-workers live very close to there. See you Saturday.
What about within Denver proper? What areas are more affordable? Any total ghettos or crazy-expensive areas I should eliminate right off the bat?
I found this website to help me get an idea of how the metro is laid out. Click on Denver County, and it roughly shows the neighborhoods.
EDIT: Also, this map.

I live in Cap Hill/Cheesman Park and pay 1400 for a 1200sq ft condo. There are plenty of one bedrooms in the are in the 800-1000 buck range. You can even rent a room or something along those lines in the 500 buck range around here.
If you dislike gay people, don't live here though, wife and I are the minority.
Generally speaking, stay south of Colfax and south of downtown. Highland and West Highland are fine. East of S Platte (river that runs N to downtown) is also good. There are a lot of apartments along Cherry Creek (CC is the "river" that runs NW towards downtown). The Capitol Hill area might be a good place to start your search.
Areas you probably can't afford: Wash Park, Cherry Creek (area near CC Mall), Country Club, City Park

Templeton Rye can't hold Stranahan's jock strap. :notworthy:
(disclaimer: just trying to stir the pot. Both are fine whiskeys but Stranahan's is better.)

Right on! My wife and I are helping sponsor it and are bringing all the food. Look for the red Explorer with the ISU flag, I'm sure we will be impossible to miss...

I didn't sign up for the event but my colorado pass is valid for A-bay. I might make the trip up to hang with some clones. I have not decided one way or the other yet.

Hope you come out, we're expecting a big crowd and a lot of fun.
