Colorado DISers ... where are you ?

[jiminyC_fan]

I haven't rented for awhile but isn't 799.00 pretty good.

Nope you aren't overreacting. A winter kit is a good idea. Include food, too. You know a power bar or something like that. Keep us posted how everything goes!

I was thinking something like a power bar too, so thanks for the suggestion... and jumper cables!

My office is on the corner of Union and Ulster. This is a good area, and easy to get to.

Also, When I drove by Palomino Park tonight there is a sign out front for $799/month.

I put her office location on MapQuest and it looks like she will be on the same block as you! I don't know why, but I feel safer knowing a DISer is so close... Denver is just such an "unknown" for us. Visiting next week should help with that though... All the pictures we see, it looks so pretty! I can't wait to see it up close and personal!

She is really liking the Palomino Park apartments! $799 would be better than we ever expected! She would have to buy a washer/dryer if she moved there, but that could be arranged. If she likes it and feels safe are what we are looking for most.

I haven't rented for awhile but isn't 799.00 pretty good.

OH yes! She would be VERY happy with that! She is looking at the $1,000 to $1,300 price range so far, so anything under that where she could feel happy and safe would be fantastic!

We will have more on-line looking tomorrow... This is all fun, scary and exciting at the same time!

Thank you all for all your help. It is making this move much easier on her (and me too!).

I am so glad that babytrees sent you over. I sure can understand how a move like this would give you the jitters. I am going to Costa Rica next week but if you need anything after that just ask. Jumper cables.....excellent. Ice and snowbrush, too. I know the Palomino Park area and I like it. She will be safe!

I have a friend that lives at Promenade Place on Ulster Street, it is really nice but personally I would stick with Palamino. They have a lot of community activities so you get to know your neighbors! They also have aerobics classes, a great gym and a very nice pool.

What I keep year round in my car as my survival kit is a jacket, boots, flip flops, swimsuit, rollerblades, and then an emergency kit that comes with jumper cables, blanket, flashlight, bandaids, and a few other things I can't remember!

Okay, Heidi. Your survival kit made me laugh. Swimsuit and rollerblades.

I know, there is so many random things!

Sounds like Yukon Cornelius..."ham hocks and guitar strings..."

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Surely you two know Heidi well enough by now NOT to be surprized by her. I'm just surprised that she doesn't have a half dozen of swimsuits!

I moved to Denver a year out of college and knew nobody here. I met my husband and now could not imagine living anywhere else. She will love it.

I'm not really surprised. It totally seems like something she would always have on hand. It just made me laugh.

She will love it hear. It is great

Ditto from me - I moved here the day after college graduation! I love it here!

I came to college here 30 years ago and never left. I can't imagine living anywhere else.

Heard on the Today show that Denver is fastest recovering city in the Nation wohooo



Does anyone know of any houses in CC School district that are lease or lease/purchase or know where I would look?

Thanks so much!

Hi Colorado DISers! I just wanted to say that my DD and I loved Denver! Thank you all for your advice, you have a very nice and very clean city. Everyone we talked to were so helpful and friendly.

She rented an apartment in the DTC right across the street from where she will be working. We will be back mid June to move her in.

A special thanks to Momsully for meeting us on our first day there! It helped more than you will ever know!!

The Orlando Sentinel reported that NTSB interviewed several witnesses to last week's monorail accident, including "a Centennial, Colorado, family." Does anyone know if this was the family that was actually on the train at the time of the crash? I've heard almost nothing about them, and I wondered how they, especially those precious little ones, are doing through it all.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

You know, I don't know thing. The local news talked so little about it the day after and then I never heard another thing about it.

Need some school recommendations please.

We are pretty open as to area, I think we are going to have to rent for awhile. Thinking Littleton or South Aurora or Highlands Ranch areas.

I have 2 special needs girls with IEPS (grades 4 and 5) so I need a school that has resources. Also Ds is going into Grade 9 and would LOVE to find a school that is tech heavy.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

I am not sure, this is the first I had heard the a CO family was a witness.

Sorry, I don't have any schools to recommend for your DD's. But I do remember that Warren Tech is a tech school but it might be a little further away from the area you want.

None of the info I've read mentioned anything about the occupants of the train except that there were six passengers, and all were unhurt.
