I can't believe people still think this way. I lived in Rocky Ford for 10 years and I'm so glad that I found my way out of there. Its a broken down little town where everyone knows your business and everyone knows eachother. There aren't any jobs, there's no where to go, there's nothing to do.... its pretty much the most boring place on earth. If you want to have a good life, be free of judgment from people who shouldn't be judging, and enjoy that small amount of time we have on Earth, DO NOT move to Rocky Ford.

I should clarify the statement that I made. When I lived in RF, it was all good... I had my friends and family close by. It was all I knew. I thought the judging and was just the way it was supposed to be. When I moved to Cali and saw the diversity and different way of living, I realized that it shouldn't be the way it normally is in Rocky Ford. There are no "cool kids" here... everyone is different and no matter how strange you are, there's always someone stranger than you. RF is a nice place to retire and not have to worry about anything... but I would never move back there... there's nothing there for me or anyone of my age that wants to do something with their lives. I don't recommend it, but if that's all you have and the only place you can be, then find a way to make the best of it.

As many people say they use to live in Rocky. I was no different. I lived there for about 21 years and like everyone else said there is nothing there, no jobs nothing. I moved from there aout 22 years ago and come back just to visit my family who still leves there. Back in the day Rocky was not a bad place to live, just nothing to do. I will one day move back there and retire I guess, cause that is where my whole family lives. But until then I am gonna stay right where im at

I grew up in RF and it was a good place to grow up when you're a kid. As a teenager, you had to seek out things to do. There was school sports and summer ball. I was also a Koshare in LJ. Swimming at the pool and I had always had a summer job. Going to Pueblo to the mall and McDonalds was a big deal. Once I got my DL I hung out in La Junta, it was bigger and I had made many friends there. After HS I left feeling that if I had stayed that my options were limited. I'm in CA now with a good job and a great family. When I go back I still like to look around at some of the changes but spend much of my time in LJ. I would consider RF when I retire because the taxes are low, RE is affordable and my pension check would go farther. I do miss the quiet.
