If you were born and raised in Colorado, you know that there are just some things that make more sense to you than they do to others. For example, if you just moved here, you may not realize these 15 things, but don’t worry; you will quickly learn!
- When you live in Colorado, you have a friend in the diamond business…
Flickr/Yelp Inc. More like a BEST friend… right, Tom Shane?!
- …a lawyer you can call 24/7…
YouTube/frankazarlaw Bonus: Azar is now the official law partner of the Denver Broncos.
- …and, of course, a go-to car dealer.

- Traffic laws do not apply here.
Flickr/Thomas Hawk Green means go, yellow means go faster, and the first 10 seconds of a red light mean GUN it.
- Craft beer is love…
Flickr/Ted Thompson Life is too short to drink domestic brews.
- (…and if you don’t already like it, you will learn to.)
Flickr/Jess J Trust us; it isn’t hard to do!
- You will learn to adapt to the elevation…
Flickr/Tyler Hitchcock You may be lightheaded and dizzy at first, but don’t worry – it gets better!
- …order everything smothered green chile…
Flickr/Tim Marshall A good rule of thumb: If a restaurant doesn’t serve green chile, they aren’t even worth your time.
- …cheer for the Broncos…
Flickr/Heath Alseike Don’t even think about wearing your Chiefs or Raiders gear here!
- …and dip your pizza in honey.
Flickr/dcgreer You’ve never had Beau Jo’s Pizza? And you call yourself an American?!

- Rocky Mountain Oysters aren’t REALLY oysters.
Flickr/Vincent Diamante We will let you newbies figure that one out for yourself.

- …Qdoba…
Flickr/rorowe8 Fun Fact: Qdoba was founded in 1995 in Denver.
