My wife and I are considering a move. We'd keep our practice in Denver and commute up a few days a week.
Any thoughts on Canon City? We've enjoyed the time we've spent in the town in recent years. And housing looks affordable to us (we are cheap bassards).
I have family out there, but when I go down, I just come in on 50 and go straight to family's house, so I don't really know much about the town. Any specific questions you'd like me to ask?
Do you speak Spanish?
Prison Town, largest employer in the county is Department of Corrections (either state or Federal)... growing retired population-
County government is really a PITA (and has corruption issues, ask some- and I concur).
I've lived in this county for 18 years, and prefer to do business in Colorado Springs.
You do have to ask why is real estate low there...
Member DANGER used to live there as well.
I saw your post and remember this one from another member.

I have family down in Canon and Florence, so i'm down there a bit. Not a horrible area, but not much to do there entertainment wise. Also like mentioned before, quite a bit of corruption in gov down there. I like some of the scenery around there, but i always feel the need to carry an extra mag or two...
Much depends on your current hobbies and retirement wants?
How do the prisons affect the town? It's pretty common for people to dog Canon because of the prisons, but I think it's dumb.
