What's the best pizza place there?

when i lived there, we always got it from a pizza joint in ault, the name of which escapes me, but its right on co14 and us85. they would deliver as far as pierce, so we'd meet them at the grain elevator there. or alternately, just drive 5 miles further down the road and pick it up.

Do you fly out of Cheyenne or Denver?

i don't fly these days, but the last flight i took out of this area was from stapleton. my understanding is that cheyenne doesn't have regular air service (might be wrong here), and flying out of FNL (aka 'northern colo regional') is a joke...

Merged the two Colorado threads. I personally don't mind these AMA threads, but we probably shouldn't have more than one for each state or region. If there's multiple users from a given area that want to answer questions about their differing experiences in that region, they can easily share a thread.

There were 13 before merging and 12 after merging. Anything past #2 should never have happened. Anything past #5 is ridiculous.

some notable places in the nunn metro area:

the water tower. when i lived there, some kid (who was not me) climbed up there and painted the word 'weed' under 'watch nunn grow'
https://goo.gl/maps/qFqHmUzsCFx5A9x2A

the nunn cafe. sometimes its open, sometimes it isn't.
https://goo.gl/maps/oM7b3cpPug2D6Y7h7

town hall, being blasted by the sun. apparently this used to be a school, before it all got consolidated in ault.
https://goo.gl/maps/CagqNrujWMjjbvg3A

for the record, i live about 3 miles from this, which is oh... 50 miles or so west of nunn.

It's not complete redundancy, as each one is about a different "topic". They've also all been at least somewhat interesting so far.

In time, they'll be spread throughout the list of recent topics instead of concentrated at the top, so it won't seem as egregious as it does now.

To be fair to Zachary, I'm guessing the amount of questions one can ASK about Nunn, much less answer, is fairly small.

yeah, there really isn't a lot going on there...

back oh 2007 or so, there was some heated 'city' politics there, but now, its pretty much cows.

Will this thread die after minimal replies? Will this thread blast off like a rocket? Only one way to find out. Ask me literally anything about my tiny hometown of Severance, Colorado.

Bruce's is still there! I still go there from time to time. Locals call that intersection either 1st street and 4th avenue or just CR 74 and CR 23.

then it occurs to me... you might be closer to 392 than 14, from what i gather. even if you're not still there, if you're in the south end, probably closer to 392.

just sayin. do you, man  :bigass:
