DENVER — There’s this meme going around everywhere asking people to tell the internet where they live without saying it explicitly.
And given Colorado’s perhaps unique affinity for loving/hating Subarus, the Tree Farm jingle (“… take I-25 to exit 235), transplants, legal marijuana, our crazy weather and a Mexican restaurant called Casa Bonita, we figured people would have fun weighing in.
As usual, people on the 9NEWS Facebook and Instagram delivered. Here are some of their funniest answers (for the record, mine was: "I went to Whole Foods at 8 a.m. on a Saturday to snag a KBCO Studio C CD while my bearded, flannel-loving boyfriend and golden retriever waited in my Subaru").
