Contributed by: DR. SEAN REIF D.C. on 10/2/2008

4: You used to cruise Main
5: It was cool to date someone from a neighboring town
6: The whole school went to the same party after graduation
7: You don't give directions by street name or directions but by references (Turn by the Winders', then your come upon the Forbes' place, then go yonder bout nother spell and ya-all endup by the Spears')
8: The golf course has only 9 holes and they have sand "greens"
9: The people in the "BIG CITY" dress funny then you pick up the trend 2 years later
10: Your car stays dirty because of the dirt roads and you will never drive a dark colored car for this reason

What if you are a town in the middle of Colorado, with no striking natural resource surrounding you? Maybe your strengths just haven’t leaped out to display themselves to the world. A community’s vision can be built around the ingenuity and passion of its people who shape their vision .
