Remembering the eastern plains of Colorado
Спорт
Metropolitan areas attract tens of thousands of new, young residents. Across vast plains and through mountain enclaves, the population grows smaller and older. Demographic shifts like these underscore the many cultural, economic and political disparities between the state's urban and rural communities -- a chasm that defines the Colorado Divide. In a series of reports, The Denver Post takes a closer look at how rural Colorado adapts to an evolving environment.

The Eastern Plains of Colorado; some of the most beautiful countryside I've seen - along with some of the most beautiful folks I've met. I hope one day to return. I'd trade the urban life for that lifestyle any day.
1:32 to 1:44 is my home town Genoa, Colorado. I was raised there and my folks still live there today!
This gave me so many chills and I kinda feel like crying
Beautiful work, RJ
Im proud to say im from eastern plains of Colorado 😊
Brilliant
James Michener's novel Centennial brought me here
I can hear a little bit of the Southern accent, or a Southern drawl, as far as Eastern Colorado goes.

Feeling done with Denver and ready to see open land and a lot less people.

The attraction is good, hard working folks that still believe that their word is everything and a hand shake is better than a contract. Also remember that eastern Colorado is one of the largest ag and beef producing places in the country, so if you ate today, thank a farmer or rancher. How's that for attraction?
