Cincinnati, OH: I found it to be a very strange city. On the front it's an old, german, traditional, fairly conservative city. Lots of private single sex catholic high schools. Natives ask you where you're from - they mean what high school did you go to. Eastside vs. Westside rivalaries... and not cool gang-ones. People know how to drink here!
Weather isn't that great either. Humid, smog in July/August.Boulder, CO: Hippie central. Whether they're the old, loaded, green, energy conscious, whole foods eating breed - or the young, smoked out, peace loving, ski bums --- hippies! haha Liberal, most people are transplants, I've met very few people who actually grew up here. About twice the cost of living as Cincinnati. Sunny all the time - very dry.
So far, I'd say Colorado is the better option. The mountains in my backyard are a large factor in my decision.
