    I live up and to the west of Rocky Flats. There are some old timers that moved up here when they worked there because it is pretty close. They say the would never live anywhere near or to the east of Rocky Flats......EVER.
    I can't imagine anyone would live in that new Candelas subdivision, but it looks like they are gonna start building soon, infrastructure looks to be in place now.

    Mine moved to Alaska back in the 60's... My grandma remembers the '64 earthquake.
    My father then went to school in Ohio, but we returned to Alaska in 1980.
