Not too long ago, I worked for about a year in the Centennial Airport area, and found that, irrespective of weather or traffic, because of poor freeway access from where I'm located, it took about 35 minutes to get there. In rush hour, it was worse, so I typically went in later and went home after 6. I'm a private pilot and have flown in and out of Centennial Airport numerous times. I usually flew out of Front Range, though I think I'll be changing to Centennial now that I'm so close and the rental rates on a '152 and '172 aren't so different at Centennial as compared to Front Range. Some years earlier I had an engagement at what was then Honeywell Test Instruments division, and later became Metrum Information Storage, near South Holly and Dry-Creek Rd. Getting there took even longer. I know that place! It's about half a mile from my parents. My backyard, literally. I hate even visiting that Arapahoe Rd area east of I-25. I remember this one woman and her Chevy Suburban with four kids running wild inside while she talked on two cellphones at once while steering with her elbows.
It made me very much afraid of that part of town, which we often refer to as SUV-city ... I think it contains more resident SUV's than grey-cells. I quit working there about three years back, and haven't been back to that part of town, even for a visit. It gives me the "creeps." Heheh, I don't know if there are really a higher number of SUV- and cell-phone-armed people out here. I've seen it just about everywhere. I don't usually do much east of I-25. Now that I'm moved back to Colorado, I find our general "area" being 2 miles north and south of C-470 between Broadway and I-25. Works for me. I'm definitely a person that prefers the suburbs to downtown (not that you are "downtown"). Regards, Craig Steiner |
