- My mom moved to Pueblo, Colorado several year ago. When she moved there I knew almost nothing of the town. The more I researched and the more people I talked with, the more I was unsure about her decision to move there. The reputation and stories were not promising! But, mom saw an up and coming town filled with friendly people, and boy was she right!
Over the years I’ve grown to really love this town. The arts, the food, the people, the nature, it’s just so great! These is still a lot of stigma around Pueblo, so I wanted to make a video showing the Pueblo that I see and have experienced. It includes some of my favorite things: the Riverwalk, Neon Alley, Pueblo State Park, the Slopper, Walter Brewing and so much more!
I hope this video shows a side of Pueblo that maybe doesn’t get as much attention, but that I’ve really grown to love.

Thank you for sharing such a positive video of our town. It gets a bad rap sometimes but I’ve lived here for 15 years & I love this town. The people are amazing, hard working & friendly. Totally sharing with my family in the UK.
You’re so welcome! I’m heading back to Pueblo in a few days and already excited to be back there. I wish there was more of a focus on the good of Pueblo, so I’m thankful my video can help :)
Definitely not hard working
Native Puebloan here 🙋🏻♀️ thanks for making this video. It is true, everything I was looking for has been right there all along….
It proves that you can’t judge a book by its cover. It looks like an amazing little town and fun to explore.
You need to judge this city by its cover. The crime is way worse than statistics identify. There are gunshots almost every night during the warm months and every couple nights during the cold ones. There are tweakers everywhere, and everywhere there's not a tweaker there's a heroin junkie. Someone broke into my truck and stole my McDonald's burritos while i ran into homedepot, didn't steal a single tool but cost me a window. People drive like it's a mad max meets fast and furious crossover! There are not enough stores for the amount of people there, that coupled with all the shoplifters means they will often be out of things you want.
The bums are aggressive when you tell them no and I got into a handful of fights in the one year I was there. But they are usually drunk and can't hardly stay on their feet so if you're big enough to restrain a 5 year old kid that's no big deal. Unless they decide to pull a knife...
-5/10 ⭐
My home town…Pueblo, rich in history and beautiful people. I’ve lived in several places and few people have heard about Pueblo. I visit my family at least once a year, and you’ve highlighted some things that are new to me. I really need to get out more when I’m there. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Thank you for sharing this! Pueblo truly is an underrated gem. I wasn't sure I'd like this video, turns out I love it! ❤️
I was born in Pueblo but grew up in Denver. I periodically visit family there and had no idea some of these places existed. Thanks for showing me some new places to go. BTW Passkey has amazing Italian sausage sandos!
Thank you for sharing the sites of Pueblo with us. It’s a beautiful town and many prayers for your mom
It really is a great little town.
‘Walks Among the Stars’ depicts a Lakota Sioux Indian woman, on the Riverwalk, was one of my favorite sites you took us too. I’m a quilter and her quilt was beautiful. Thank you for sharing Pueblo, CO with us. Prayers for Mom and her healing. 🌺
Thank you for watching :)
Yes! This! Native Michigander here. I fell in love with Pueblo when one of my kids lived there, also in the Mesa junction area. Although they don't live there anymore, I plan to look for a place there when I retire unless I hit the lotto first, then sooner lol. It's hard to put into words but I pine for it. The weather is perfect, there are so many cool book and record and antique stores, very bohemian and very me in some of the downtown areas. Delicious food, all kinds of stuff to do. Art everywhere. Shorter winters but you still get that snow for Christmas. You can find bad crime areas in any town anywhere. I love Pueblo, and good for your mom for choosing an awesome place to be! I envy her!
Thank you so much for highlighting Pueblo in this awesome video!! Pueblo is my hometown and it is often very overlooked. My whole family still lives there, so we always enjoy our visits back to see them and indulge in all of our favorite restaurants. My summer job for 3 summers was a tour guide on the boats at the Riverwalk! I drove them and got to tell all about Pueblo history!
I love Pueblo's Public Library! The building looks amazing ❤ Sending love and wellness to your Mom! Besos from México!
Thank you so much for watching!
It was voted the best public library in Colorado back in 2018 or so and also got praise at the national level, if my memory is accurate.
I live in Pueblo West, thank you for this amazing video of our beautiful town. Please come back soon🥰
Thank you so much for this!!! Pueblo is a wonderful place. I was born and raised here, but like everyone, couldn’t wait to leave. Graduated from college and left asap. I lived all over the country and things are the same in any city.
I also love Detroit, and the places others don’t.
That steel mill raised me and my four siblings, put food on the table and sent us all to college.
Thank you, thank you!!!
I cannot thank you enough for making this video. I came to visit and find out for myself. I'm moving to Pueblo next month, and I've travelled all over the U.S.
You did a wonderful job representing my hometown! I do live in Wasilla Alaska part time so this brought a smile to my face to see somebody from Alaska in Pueblo showing off Pueblo's finer qualities! Coincidentally on June 1st I am moving back to my childhood home on the east side of Pueblo! I have been all over the world in my travels but there is no place like home!❤
Thanks for sharing this neat town, lots of beautiful sights..love the riverwalk. Prayers continue for your Mom 🙏🙏👍👍😊
Yep, Pueblo gets a bad rap but it is a hidden gem. It’s starting to become discovered for sure now. Great weather and great food, only 30 minutes or so to mountain areas and a really nice lake.
Even though it’s ranked as one of the worst places to live in Colorado. I’m here now and I can see the disparity. Homelessness. Needles everywhere. People getting murdered. No thanks. Colorado Springs is so much safer and nicer.
@@shaggymcdaniel3216 lol, not near as much homelessness as downtown Springs. You didn’t see any needles, I have seen one since I’ve lived in downtown Pueblo for 5 years. Pueblo has it’s issues but other than the beautiful views Springs is trash. I’ve live in both places.
@@shaggymcdaniel3216You are absolutely right!!
"Bad rep" it gets the reputation it deserves. It's a beautiful* city with some really unhinged people and some of the most disrespectful and dangerous drivers I've encountered outside of LA. Acting like there isn't a problem with the social state of this city will only cause the issues to never be resolved and simply become brushed under the rug until they get worse.
@@RealBono not sure about the drivers, there are much worse in every major city. I worked all over the country for 25 yrs, the very worst drivers I’ve seen are in Miami.
Anyway, Pueblo has always gotten a bad rap from people in Denver/Northern Colorado, many of which have never even been to Pueblo. Those who actually spend some time here tend to like it. Most who move to Pueblo from Northern Colorado also like it here.
Don’t get me wrong, Pueblo has lots of problems that need addressed. Drugs have become a huge problem over the last 6-7 yrs. Homelessness is a problem, but that is everywhere.
From someone that has lived in Pueblo some thing that you need to do is
1. Bell, Canon, or Pigskin Football games. The bell is the oldest rivalry west of the Mississippi.
2. Watch some baseball at Runyon
3. Go to any pumpkin patch on the mesa
4. State Fair
5. Chili festival.
6. State fair/ parade of lights parades
7. City park
Thank you so much for showing the world what a Beautiful city my hometown is. Pueblo tends to get a bad rap and like you mentioned that is what people think. The people of Pueblo are proud if their town and your video proves it. Thank you!
Im an educator hoping to move there soon. Coming to visit and looking forward to seeing alot of the places he showed in the video. I am impressed with the town & this guy. thx for the video
Wonderful video. I grew up in Pueblo left for 5 years and have been back for 50 years. Some of the bad reputation comes from locals who moved away and some still here. Pueblo is a hidden gem but I’m reluctant to see the cat out of the bag. As a business owner in the historic district I welcome the publicity but I also rue rampant growth. I have seen many positive changes over the years from the founding of the Sangre de Cristo Art Center in 1972, the reservoir, the creation of the historic district, the riverwalk and the fantastic library. I do not fear any part of town. One daughter lives on the east side and one in Bessemer. There are problems but nothing you wouldn’t find in most other towns.
It's all very cool! The riverwalk reminds me of the San Antonio Riverwalk. You are right it does have New Mexico vibes. Prayers and healing thoughts for your Mom 💖💖🙏🙏💖💖
I think the New Mexico vibes are one of the things the loves the most about Pueblo
I had no idea Pueblo had a Riverwalk! Thanks for the tour. I loved it.
I love people that appreciate America's history!♥🇺🇸🙏✌
Thank you for sharing such a great town. Sending prayers for your mom.
Appreciate all of the prayers!
Left Pueblo in 83 for more opportunities in Denver. I did very well along with property, now I’m gonna cash out and return to my hometown.
I wouldn't advise it. It's really bad here...
I Love your video, and I love living in Pueblo. I got the same negative feedback when I first decided to make Pueblo my home 9 years ago. It has been a wonderful place to live with good people and now good friends. I feel very much at home here and miss it when I'm away. Prayers for your mother.
As a life-long Puebloan, this just warms my heart! Born and raised, as is my husband, and our sons - thank you for touching on some of our gems. I'm sure you'll find more during upcoming visits! Wishing well to your Mom, as well.
I can’t wait to explore more of the Pueblo area on future trips!
Thank you Adam for sharing this. Prayers for your mom.
You are welcome. :-)
Thank you for sharing our wonderful little town! My best friend owns SoCo Organics and it really is the best garden center in the state 🥰🥰🥰
We lived in Pueblo 25 years ago and was back in town last week. I won't lie, it was looking pretty sketchy. Lots of boarded up houses, homeless tents on the side of the highway. We were downtown the day after Thanksgiving so it was Friday and a holiday weekend. Nothing was open, we drove around looking for a place to have dinner and it was a ghost town for some reason. Love the weather in Pueblo, sunny and no humidity.
I just discovered your channel because i'm looking at homes in Pueblo! I know I want to move to Colorado and the homes there are more affordable than most and you're right, online it gets sort of a bad reputation. Thank you SO much for this amazing, well- thought out and genuine tour of the place. I love it, what an adorable town when you get to explore it. 😊
Thanks for showing the Pueblo I know. The bell rings blue!!!
Whadya say Whadya know!
Thank you so much for doing this amazing video on my home town of Pueblo. This town does get a bad rap, but it doesn’t deserve it. In addition to all of the things you mentioned, the community here in Pueblo is second to none! The people here would give you the shirt off their back! I love my home town and am so glad to call it home today. Next time you are here, don’t forget to check out the air museum out by the air port and Reservoir Brewing in Pueblo West!
Great job! I've lived in the area for over 50 years and never heard of neon alley - it's now on my "to do" list, along with the new food Hall.
We don't live in Pueblo but it's our closet large town. When the library was built, I told people how awesome it was - and that it looked like something in a much larger city.......many visits to this library!!!!!!!
Someone else already mentioned but it's worth repeating - the rec path is really nice and one of our favorite places to bike.
Thank you so much! Love Pueblo!
Born and raised in Pueblo. Truly a unique town that you don't realize until you leave. You should visit the city park and the zoo historic WPA era buildings and structures.
Loved this vlog! My parents retired to CO Springs 13 years ago and we visit every year but really have only explored Springs and Denver. They always told us Pueblo wasn't a "good area" but everything you explored looked so fun and quirky and delicious and beautiful! We will have to drive down and try some of those things on our next CO visit. Sending lots of love and positive vibes to your Mom. Thank you for sharing. 💜
That is exactly the common perception of Pueblo. That was one of the reasons I wanted to make this video, to perhaps give a little different perspective on the town that often gets overlooked.
People in springs always say that small bit of rivalry there. Maybe Jealousy of our warmer and clearer weather.
@@milenko069 I don't mean to be negative, but everywhere is fun to visit. Your grandparents were correct. We have a lot of deeply rooted social, cultural, educational and economic issues. We have a lot of new people moving here, with new ideas, so over time, things may change.
Thank you Adam for sharing this video in Pueblo Co. it is so beautiful, the River Walk 👍 Take care and stay safe. Happy Mother's Day to your Mom. ❤👍🙏
Thank you for watching :)
Such a cool little town. Thank you for sharing this.
Praying for you and your mom 💗🙏
Thank you, Jordy!
I lived in Pueblo 2012-2021 and am thinking about coming back. I always liked the scale of the city. A negative thing is that Pueblo has expansive soil, which over time will crack your sidewalk, driveway, and foundation. The length of time that it will take is proportional to the thickness of the concrete. Much of the housing stock is older (1920s to early 1950s).
Thank you!!! I lived in Salida in 2008. Visited Pueblo with a native Coloradian...it seemed so run down then. I hope to revisit Colorado soon! Love to you and your mom!😊🇺🇸🙏✌
This looks like a beautiful place to live. I hope your mom is doing ok.
Thank you :)
A typical Pueblo answer. They look through you. To your heart first. How's the family? How's so n so ect.....u can feel sincere person with just a few words. I miss Pueblo when I read this
I love this type of video! It's so fun to learn about lesser known cities. I hope you get the opportunity to visit Milwaukee one day. I bet you would love it!
Milwaukee is a city I would love to visit
Love love this. Thank you for sharing! Hope your mom keeps doing better and better.
Thank you! So glad you loved this :)
Thank you! Pueblo is getting a really bad reputation, but this is my home. It was awesome when I was growing up. What happens here is happening all over the world! Still this is a beautiful town!
Thank you for sharing and wishing healing thoughts and prayers for your mom.
What a pretty town and i love your mum’s story how she found it.
Thank you for highlighting some of the great parts of Pueblo. Definitely not the perfect town, but it can be beautiful plus its home. 💕
You’re exactly right, not perfect, but it’s still wonderful
Glad to see my home getting love
You have a wonderful home town! I enjoy every visit
@@LeggLife That's great! My Mom actually use to work for the Star Bar back when it was a old dive bar on the bad side of town back in the 90's! XD
Well informed tour of Pueblo I like how you captured all the essence Of this hidden gem😊
Thanks for sharing all the wonderful areas of Pueblo, Adam. I’ve only driven through on the interstate, which does not present the prettiest version of the city. 😊
Prayers for your mama! 🙏🏼
Correct! Driving into, and through Pueblo isn’t the most appealing. However, when you get into the heart of the city, it’s pretty great!
Really enjoyed your video. Pueblo proud
Lovely town!! All the best for your mom!❤
Thank you!
Such a cool town!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I hope your mom had a wonderful Mother’s Day 🥰🥰🥰
It really was a great Mother’s Day!
I lived in Pueblo in 2010 and enjoyed it. We're looking to move there again soon. Thank you for your information ❤
Five medal of honor winners! I love the Star Bar! Great video, thanks for shining such a favorable light on my home town.
You’re so very welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Neon alley looks fun! Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching
Born in Pueblo, however, I live in Canada now. I have never missed a city so much in my life as I have from Pueblo.
Thank You! For such a great video.
Thank you so much for letting people know how great our town is. We moved here from Illinois in 2008 and we found the same thing, the people are the friendliest!
What a fun looking town! Enjoy your visit with your Mom!
Thank you! It’s been an amazing visit so far
Thank you so much for making this video. I honestly had never heard a thing about Pueblo, other than it existed 🤣 I can see why your Mom loves it! What a cool town! Continued prayers for your Mom. 🙏❤️
Thank you, Staci!
Wow, always drive around the area but have never actually stopped there. Looks like a cool little place. Hope mom is feeling well❤💙🧸
Hopefully someday you stop and experience it for yourself!
great video....visiting Colorado Springs next year, thanks to your video, i will be spending a full day in Pueblo
This was a wonderful video. Thank you.
Love your enthusiasm and I too have been in search of a place to relocate and will for sure put this on my list- thx
Thank you! Great job.
Thanks for watching :)
Best travel video I've seen in a long time!!
Lovely, like the River walk. Prayers to your mom
The Riverwalk is such a beautiful part of this town
Enjoying your blogs. I loved the neon alley. It reminded me of the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati. I love seeing the cool places you and Sherry have visited. Prayers for your mama!
I live in Pueblo myself and I must say, thanks for exploring! ❤
I lived in Pueblo my whole expect for my 24yrs in the military, your video has taught me so much!
Thank you.
Now it's my turn to explore my home!!😊
Adam, as always you are a great tour guide! You find beautiful & interesting places & things where ever you take us! Thanks. Prayer for your Mom. Grammy from Texas
So glad you enjoyed this video!
Love your attitude! Pueblo is nice. Drove through on my roadtrip back in 2021.
Great video to showcase the town! Glad to see such a positive attitude taken here.
You could see any town or anything as glass half full or half empty of course and you take the high road :)
I'm 70 years old now, but when I was 16, I proposed the River Walk to City Council; they denied my idea, but luckily, they eventually adopted it, although I never got credit for being the 1st one to propose it. The MOH (Medal Of Honor) are not "winners "; they are recipients. I knew all of them personally. Treat yourself to a tour of the Rosemont Museum, (and the Weisbrod Aircraft Museum at the airport. )
I was the ONLY chauffeur in Pueblo during the 1980s. I now live in Cripple Creek,Colorado (about 70 miles north west of Pueblo), but Pueblo is my hometown.
Thank you for the tour. Loved it
Thanks so muck for watching :)
Such an interesting video of an interesting town. Praying for your Mum.
Thank you for the video.
Love Pueblo and all it has to offer .
I lived in pueblos all my life feels good when people come to my city and say good things because other people specially up north to Colorado springs Denver everyone says Pueblo is the trash of Colorado but we do have crime but that's everywhere but it feels good to hear people say that about your town
I enjoyed this video… grateful for your kindness
I grew up in Colo Spgs. Thanks for changing my mind on a cute little town.
I love hearing that! Thank you so much for watching
I love living in Pueblo! ❤
Praying your mom is getting better ❤️
Thank you :)
Adam - you make Pueblo seem so wonderful! I want to move there. It sure looks beautiful.
Loved this vlog. Enjoy he rest of your time in Pueblo, California
Pueblo, Colorado😊
I grew up in Pueblo and I love your take on my hometown! When I get homesick I watch Pueblo videos. Thank you for making this video. 😊
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Enjoyed watching. I think you found a great hidden gem of a place to visit.
Thank you!
My family and I been hear in pueblo Colorado 9 yrs. Their so much to due hear. Ever time you leave your home their new things in pueblo Colorado
Thank you, I am a life-long Puebloan. So glad to see positive about it
We will be back in Pueblo in a couple weeks and we’re excited to visit again!
Beautiful!
It really is great!
Thanks for the awesome tour of Pueblo. Life long resident here … I’d Like to first start out and tell you welcome to the home of the hero’s.. you did an awesome review of our town.. You are right there are beautiful things to see here if you look for them. On your next tour you should try liberty point they have awesome sunsets you would love. It over looks Lake Pueblo state park. Also check out the river trails that have different murals of local artists. Haven’t seen very much of your videos but I think all start. Nice to have someone come from some other state and say nice things about our people and town. . prayers for your mother wish her well.. .. Happy trails..
My family has been here in Pueblo for over a hundred years. Home Sweet Home!💙
Pueblo looks really cool!
My moms family moved from Sicilia, Italia to Pueblo in the 40's. There was many Sicilian families living there already. I'm thinking of moving there from California as I write this. Salut!
Thank you for sharing this info! We are from the Springs and we will take trip down to try some of the things you recommended. Looks fun!
Hope you enjoy it! Pueblo has a bad reputation, but there is beauty there for those willing to see it!
Wow what a great video! My wife and I are considering retiring in Pueblo. Thanks for this!!!
Be careful and do your research. Pueblo is ranked in the worst five US cities in terms of crime. Pueblo is located in a state full of dope smoking Marxist lunatics - thus the crime wave is no accident and will not be resolved - it will only get worse, by design. You are actually safer and better off moving to San Francisco or Los Angeles at this point.
My hometown. I miss it every day.
You are so cool! I loved the video ❤
Thank you Pueblo is not as bad as people say. Born & Raised I Love it!!! 💚
Totally agree! Heading back there this weekend and looking forward to my time there!
