About This Book
Short Story Press Presents Welcome To Colorful Colorado by Ken Green
Anyone who has ever moved to a new city to start a new life knows the obstacles, both mental and physical, that such a move creates. No only does it often involve leaving perhaps the only life you might ever have known, but it means starting a new life in an entirely new location, a location that has its own traditions, customs and style. For writer Ken Green, that transition meant leaving the big city of Chicago for the not-so-big city of Denver. It was the Midwest vs. the real West. Chi-Town vs. Cowtown. The City of Big Shoulders vs. the City That’s Near Boulder. And rather than do it for career purposes, he does it more personal reason: to join his future wife. “Welcome to Colorful Colorado†recounts the initial phase of his journey from Chicago to the Mile High City including:
• Leaving behind a life of 49 years in Chicago in a matter of weeks
• Encountering a Nebraska blizzard
• The possible “omen†of breaking down just after crossing the Colorado border
“Welcome to Colorful Colorado†is the sometimes-humorous tale of one man’s decision to begin an adventure on the other side of the “worldâ€, when that world is 1,000 miles away.
