Just remember,'it's what you learn after you know it all that really counts'. You really have a lot to learn.

C'mon... Quit making this a racial issue. GROW UP! Pueblo has always maintained a very diverse cultural experience and everyone in this community benefits from it. We have some of the best Mexican restaurants in the world. Great Italian markets and slovenian businesses. It isn't about white or black or brown. Pueblo's diversity is unique in that it is a community that was founded on diversity. Together we build a community... good or bad. It's our choice. People who hate Pueblo, are not from Pueblo. I grew up here. I have lived in MANY cities across the country and have always found my way back here because this is a great little town. Like all towns, we have our problems. But the unique thing about Pueblo is that we (by "we" I mean those who give a damn) have always banded together to make this town better. We need to ignore racist comments because those comments are made out of ignorance and hate... they are made out of fear and a lack of understanding. By feeding into those comments you continue to breed the ignorance and hate and stop growing collectively as a community. I choose to live in Pueblo. As does anyone else here. If you don't like it, then leave... but don't bash our town, our community or our neighbors. Diversity built this city and it will be diversity that will keep it strong.

The only thing this town lacks is the ability to pay decent wages for its workers. The cost of living goes up, while wages remain the same. But that's another rant.

Just about everywhere you go in Pueblo, the bathrooms are dirty, the stores are a mess, there is grafitti, even in the newer shopping centers, lighbulbs in store signs are burned out. The whole town seems very ghetto and there is a large gang population from what I have heard. Groceries are severly overpriced and the jobs do not pay well at all. It seems that there is an extremely lazy attitude here and no pride. Is it that hard to keep stores and resturants clean? I find it disgusting and dirty! Also, why does everyone stare here? I swear it is so rude! And who gives out the driver's liscences here? There are some terrible drivers here!

The one thing that I will grant Pueblo, is that it is cheap to live here, but you get what you pay for....

Pueblo is a poor rat trap. I was attracted to it becuase it seemed non-yuppie and warmer than a frozen mountain town that I had been living in. What's good about Pueblo? Well besides last year's visit from the iceman, Pueblo is fairly warm for Colorado. I have come to realize though that Pueblo is a shithole. People yell at you from out their cars on occasion for no reason (same thing happened in New Mexico, although there they threw things...actually someone threw a rolled up newspaper at me while on my bike). If you confront them (like when a red light prevents them from avoiding you) and, they try to hide like the little ignorant babies they are. I have come to the conclusion that Pueblo is retarded. It has a retarded music scene, a retarded business sense, a retarded mental hospital, and most people seem completely oblivious and retarded. All the young people leave here when they hit 22 (unless they come to the retarded CSU college or technical schools). The reason for all this retardation? I think it's cultural. The hispanic population brings the Mexican culture which is "siesta siesta" and "manana, manana". Nobody wants to do anything today - just sit on their ass. They'll take care of it tomorrow ...always tomorrow. I suppose this is a great town if you're a chronic alcoholic or drug addict...but even those people never look happy. Everyone seems depressed and angry..either that or just "out of it". And there's not much of a sense of humor here either. I mean if you're that poor and miserable at least learn to laugh at your situation to lighten things up! I thought people here would at least be humble becuase they were poor. But boy was I wrong! When I went to the soup kitchen the homeless people act with an air of entitlement that both perplexes and disgusts me. And God forbid you try to volunteer at a soup kitchen! They act "clicky" and look at you funny and say "sorry we don't need any help". No, I'M SORRY ,(for coming here)- hey dumbass you're not doing me a favor by me volunteering! And another thing: there are not a lot of services for poor people here (esp.for the amount of poor people here: poorest county in CO), and the ones that exist really don't help people . It's almost like they exist only for their own glory or something - wow we are an organization that "helps" people, look at us, Wow. There was a kid with no legs, no home, no real family who was kicked out of the shelter and we called every organisation and social service to try to find him a place to stay ~ nada, nothing. It was a pathetic statement on this "town".

having been all over the world and moving here from midwest (Iowa) I can truly say this "area" has one of the nicest and friendly populations I have ever encountered. My perception is that this is in large part due to the diverse ethnic population and diverse in that there are so many people here who came from somewhere else. Now with that said, Pueblo itself does suffer from a low average income per person. Poverty never leads to good social aspects. I think it is naive to ignore the economic influence on the Pueblo society and then go on to place lame on ethnic issues. Finally Pueblo is the only place I have ever been where you can see a teenage "thug" covered in tattoos, dressed like a gangster, and yet be ever so quick to offer a "please" "sir" or "excuse me, I'm sorry".
