Ummm…Colorado School of Mines is in Golden, CO. …where they make Coors beer and find dinosaur fossils under the golf course. You can make fun of Golden, but at least they’re not chock-full of Creationists or Flat-Earthers.
Colorado Springs is home to ‘Focus on the Family’, and whenever I think my little Denver hood is feeling gritty and unsafe, I wind up driving through Colorado Springs, which looks like smog particles succumbed to gravity and coated a very large tract housing development. “Boy, you better’d drive real fast…”
