I hear people making fun of Pueblo all the time and this is nothing new. I think that most people haven't experienced the true essence of Pueblo and fail to recognize how awesome Pueblo really is. Here are ten reasons that I love Pueblo:
1. Pueblo is a melting pot of many cultures--Hispanic, Italian, European.
2. Pueblo has THE best restaurants. Forget the chains when you go to Pueblo there are great local restaurants and we have trouble deciding which one to eat at when we go there.
3. Pueblo has GREAT neighborhood bars where everyone really does know your name AND you can drink all night and only spend $20 bucks.
4. Pueblo is proud of their community and they are willing to invest their hard earned dollars for growth and improvement.
5. Early in my career, I worked in Pueblo for a few years and the people there are locally loyal. If you want to do business there, you need to live there. I love that. I am not impressed when people come here from Denver to work in our community and continue to commute from Denver. Commit to live in the community especially in an industry whose cornerstone is community involvement.
6. There are great boutique stores in Pueblo and I have found the selection of unique clothes and housewares are better in Pueblo than most places I've been.
7. Pueblo peeps are proud of their heritage.
8. Family ties run deep.
9. The Colorado State Fair!!
10. There are really more than 10 things to list--feel free to add!!!
Makes me ALMOST want to plan my next trip FOR Pueblo. I have great memories of my times living with two dynamic sisters AND marrying. beginning my adventures in motherhood. My 9th grade English teacher lives there -- excellent man. Oh, and local theater, Annette!
