How far is it from Slim to Nunn? :bigass:
Do you need to change recipes or how long to cook things due to the high elevation?
Is Terri Nunn, frontwoman of the band Berlin, from Nunn?
Or is she from Berlin? I'm all confused.

opinions vary -- nunn is right around 5000 feet (its on the plains). i personally never have and everything came out alright but my mom is super ocd about stuff like this.

I might as well continue the thread chain. I've seen a thread for Nunn, CO, but not Colorado proper. Ask me about any stereotypes or misconceptions about Colorado here, serious or not!
Typically, blue counties are either urban, minority, or college towns. Colorado has a whole bunch that are none of those. What makes them blue?
Once when i was in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl, I was at a restaurant where the tables were the shape of the state of Texas. The waitress was very proud of their Texas-shaped tables. I told her that wasn't such a big deal as I'd been to five or six restaurants in Colorado where the tables were the shape of Colorado and she said, "Really?"

There are a lot of democrat voters in ski towns, as they are mainly "hippie." For SW Colorado, that is where the Ute Indian Reservation is.

State-shaped tables are very common in Wyoming as well. Not too many of those in Saskatchewan, though...

Lots of money from California in those counties is a reasonably simple explanation too.

Do you engage in a local rivalry with Ault?

Also, I'm not sure specifically what counties are being looked at, but doesn't Colorado have significant Hispanic and Native American populations?

Yes, in the south.

Yeah, but those don't contribute that much to the overall "blueness" of Colorado voting. Rich mountain counties like Eagle, Summit, and Pitkin vote blue because of the rich folk that can afford to live up there in addition to the ski bums.

there's actually the nunn cafe, worked there when i lived there. it's a standard roadside eatery, sometimes open, sometimes closed. i suspect it's never been profitable, since various people buy it, run it for a while, then it sits closed again.

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.

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 (https://goo.gl/maps/qFqHmUzsCFx5A9x2A)
the nunn cafe. sometimes its open, sometimes it isn't.

town hall, being blasted by the sun. apparently this used to be a school, before it all got consolidated in ault.

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.

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

is bruce's still there? i remember going there when i was a kid.
most of what i remember about severance is its the intersection, more or less, of harmony road and cr23.
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.
