    Ft. Collins and Boulder are really not all that close to Aspen or Telluride.

    Lincoln is dominated by the big University there...for more even than Columbus is.

    Even San Luis Obispo has Cal Poly which is a lot bigger than people think. There are 18,000 student at Cal Poly, and SLO is only a town of about 50,000.

    Provo has BYU

    Boulder has Colorado U.

    Lincoln has Nebraska U

    Ann Arbor has Michigan

    The likes of San Fran/San Jose/Honolulu/Naples have obvious attractions, primarily good weather and wealth.

    OK, money can't buy you happiness....but it can buy you contentedness.
