In Boulder and Denver I had a ton of stuff within walking distance, lots of cool shops & restaurants, and a short commute (in Denver), and felt like I was in the center of everything. The burbs just seem too family oriented, too far from the action, too far from my job, and have too many chains and big-box stores -- especially Westminster, which not only feels family oriented but a little "low-rent."

It's just off Sheridan and 92nd... so right by the 36/sheridan exit (aka Hyland Hills golf course and that pointy Westminster municipal building).
I pretty much never "hang out" in Boulder anymore, I go to Denver every weekend. But I still work in Boulder, and will for the forseeable future, so that's kinda why I like this location. My current home isn't exactly "urbanite" either... walking to pearl street still takes almost an hour.
