Colorado has really become a desireable place to live in the nation's eyes during the past decade or so. I think it's a combination of celeb's and rich folk frequenting the ski resorts in the winter and making headlines on magazines like People, US Weekly, and such, as well as the re-location to the state from Californians and others throughout the country to experience nature, and from good marketing done by the state. Sunny days and mild winters (except for this past one) and a plethora of parks and mountains to explore make it a dream state for any outdoorsman/woman. Oddly enough, Colorado is a bit like teflon, in that things that could have tarnished the state's rep never have only seemed to increase its notoriety...aka JonBenet Ramsey, Columbine, South Park...
