    One thing I noticed right off the get go, is how clean this city is. That really impresses me, even the back alleys are clean. I live in Detroit, Michigan and there's trash everywhere. Well done Cheyenne, that's something to be proud of.

    I've lived in Cheyenne for 60 years. I love it!

    Nice town. Not a big city feel and light traffic. Very neat and clean. I wouldn't mind living there.

    I am a Wyoming native. I lived in Cheyenne 78-79 to attend LCCC. It was a wonderful time. I loved living in Cheyenne. I was a single mom and it felt difficult at the time but looking back it was a great time. Beautiful city and great people. I am back in my hometown now. I love where I live. I am happy to have been born here and love my family and friends. There's no place like your home state.

    I've lived here in cheyenne for over 18 years now. So glad to see someone showing the cool parts of our town. There's not much, but it's definately better than most western small towns

    Great video, I've lived in Cheyenne for 8 years now. Originally from Virginia, moved to Colorado in 2000. 14 years later I was working a job just 10 miles from the CO/WY state line, brutal weather. I was driving from Longmont, CO, roughly 1 1/2 hours drive each way. I got tired of the commute and moved north to Cheyenne, 25 minute drive by comparison. I ended up getting a VA loan and bought a small house dating back to 1923 in the old historic district on the south side of that railroad bridge you crossed at the start of the video. I got a job in town and only drive 4 miles to work. Oh, and NO STATE INCOME TAX!
  • I am so impressed for once! A clean city that has kept its history and the artwork is fabulous!

    As a viewer from the UK, this is exactly what I would expect from a small US town/ city. Absolutely incredible looking traditional US town/ city. Definitely one to visit if and when I can get the chance. Loved the video, Cheyenne looks fantastic, everything a tourist would want from an American road trip. Also you can tell the locals take pride in their neighbourhood, and the artists are certainly gifted, very talented people. Glad wifey got another stamp. Best place yet, thanks for the tour of Cheyenne 🤗
  • Hi. Nice video. I grew up and currently live in Cheyenne. In fact, I was surprised when you drove by my childhood home (NE Cheyenne off College Dr). The streets that are dirt road in that area are county pockets that have not been annexed into the proper city limits. College Drive actually used to be the edge of town back in the 70s the city grew around these county pockets.
  • Hey thanks for stopping by our cute little town glad you had a great time. Just wanted mention that the art on the buildings is something the chamber of commerce let's local artists do so they can share their ideas. The space across from atlas Theater used to be a bakery but it burned down the owner was wanting to rebuild it but I don't think he could get the money to its been almost 20 years now. And dirt roads usually is the county and paved would be the city its really wierd but it's like a checkered board. Wyoming is where most of the cowboy stories come from and outlaws. If you ever come across a buffalo keep your distance please do not try to pet them they are aggressive.

    Born and raised in Cheyenne. :) I love my little city. Its very interesting to see a visitor’s perspective. You taught me some things about our history. Wyoming was the first state to give women the right to vote in 1920. We had our 100 year anniversary celebration a couple years ago. The governor is a regular customer at one of the restaurants I used to work at, so I have met him many times. My coworker was from LA and the first time I told her he was the governor she was shocked that in Wyoming we can just eat lunch with the governor on any given day. My daughter is a great great granddaughter of Chief Washakie. We have a few statues and paintings of him in Wyoming. We have a lot of different kind of people here. Some of my long time friends did that artwork downtown. When I was in Jr. High our art class painted the license plate cowboy boot in front of the Museum. I believe it was a fundraiser for the school. Businesses bought the boots from the students for a high price. That’s also interesting your grew up in Tulsa, OK because my best friend in the whole world lives there now. Small world.

    Glad to see a video on Cheyenne. I was there last October during a road trip. Very nice, very clean, everyone was friendly. I bet the winters are unbearable.
  • @Spooky_G647
    I was born and raised in Cheyenne, only moved away less than a year ago because my husband is in the military. It’s a beautiful and historic place. I volunteered at the Atlas theatre for many years. I can’t wait to visit again this video makes me homesick.
  • @arlenephillips9681
    Thankyou for opening our eyes to Cheyenne! Been to Wyo. Several times and never took the time. Will definitely do so next fall when we go🎉❤
  • I was there twice. Last time was in October of 2019, a bright, sunny October day where I walked through the Capitol, sampled a few beers downtown, including one from Accomplice, a wheat beer called Sol Dance. I walked off the buzz by walking halfway across the bridge in your opening segment and back. I had flown into Denver the night before, rented a car one-way with Cheyenne being the northernmost point in my trip, continuing south-southeast, leaving the car in Houston before flying back home. My mom had died three week eariler in Ohio and this was a "go for a long drive before you make any life-changing decisions" kind of trip.
  • @barkerjames1980
    Glad you're in my state! I grew up near Wheatland, an hour north. I always loved the beautiful old buildings in Cheyenne.
  • Wow! The artists of this little city are astounding! I live in Chicago a huge wild place but little Cheyenne easily outdo us in art. While we have a lot of public artworks Cheyenne's artists add a lot more basic humanity to their stuff! Keep it up, people!
  • Mi'Lord, you succeeded beautifully in giving me the sense that I myself had visited Cheyenne. They have done a great job preserving their older mixed use commercial and residential brick buildings. The gargantuan murals are great. Overall, a visually appealing, walkable city which abruptly ends at the prairie's edge! Your video has created a hankering within me to go myself and enjoy victuals and beverages at the marvelous Sanfords Grub and Pub. Expect to join you through Wyoming.
  • First thing I noticed is how much the city favors San Angelo, Texas my hometown. It is clean, no tent cities no trash on the street unless they cleaned up before you go there. Thankyou so much , enjoyed the video. I stayed several days in Cody with the wife years ago and enjoyed that little town so much. The Buffalo Bill dam was a marvel to visit. The capital was astounding. , we cannot even get into the Franklin county courthouse in Pasco, Washington without going through metal detectors etc.
