This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Southwest Colorado would be Durango / Montrose which is on west side of the Rockies! You think that's part of the Great Plains area?

Even SE Colorado such as Pueblo and Lamar are very distinct from towns and cities east of North Platte, Nebraska.

Culturally Eastern Nebraska is heavily Germanic / Western European Immigrant. Hell up into the 2000s there were still lots of little churches with at least one weekly service conducted in German. You won't find that in Pueblo.

I'm struggling to understand all of these cultural similarities that some of you see. Yes they're all Americans but everything from the type of soil they live on to their ancestry and immigration patterns is WILDLY different between Lincoln and Pueblo.
