A Real Pit Hole!

We lived in Cheyenne for a few years, and it was so awful, we moved to Colorado. There is nothing to do in this city. The folks living here do no like outsiders. The air often smells like chemicals due to the oil plants. We have had our throats burn from it. There are just a few ...Read More
good restaurants, limited shopping, and many businesses are going out. They do not upkeep the city. It is dumpy and unkept. It has great potential to be a wonderful tourist town if they put some money into fixing it up and creating a western flavor. The downtown area is in badly need of a facelift. Their yearly fair, Cheyenne Frontier Days, is overrated and overpriced. And most importantly, you cannot afford to live in Cheyenne unless you make $80K a year (average wage here is $45K). The rents are sky high and unaffordable (for trashy homes/apts), and real estate prices are out the roof!! Real estate soared over 8% in 2018, and still soaring in 2019. Why pay California prices to live in a pit hole?

Cheyenne is a dusty western town in the smallest state in the US. Not only is Cheyenne a cool place to be because it's small uncomplicated and easy to maneuver. This city is close to Ft Collins, CO and Denver, CO if you need that larger city "fix". Cheyenne is in a great state ...Read More
for the out doors. (Ask people from Colorado) LOL Don't expect to find your big city sophistication here. You have to be able to appreciate the small stuff. The train whistle, the small navigable shopping mall, the crisp clean cool air. When I think of Cheyenne I think of Wyoming, they are inseparable. Imagine the State of Wyoming as your playground. The people are great, genuine, sincere and for real.

As a lifetime Wyomingite, I have traveled to and spent quite a bit of time in the largest city in the great state of Wyoming, Cheyenne. Cheyenne is the home of the state capital, Cheyenne Frontier Days, Laramie County Community College and F.E. Warren Air Force Base. Along, with ...Read More
these impressive sites Cheyenne is also the home to one of only three malls in the state, a very nice hospital and other medical facilities as well as numerous places to dine.
The people of Cheyenne are extremely welcoming and host numerous high school and college events including; Wyoming State FFA Convention. Yet, their pride and joy is the Daddy of the All: Cheyenne Frontier Days. The whole community comes out in force to volunteer at and attend the numerous rodeo performances and night shows at Frontier Days. I truly have enjoyed the city of Cheyenne every time I have visited, whether it was for a rodeo, high school activity, Cheyenne Frontier Days or simply for an afternoon of shopping. While, Cheyenne does not have the same world class dining and shopping as Denver, it instead a very welcoming hometown feel.
