I moved here from out of state to get away from the drama in the rest of the US and I agree w/ the conservative politics. However, after three months I have come to realize this is not friendly, small town USA. The weather is as cruel as the inhabitants’ personalities. Overall, people have not been friendly, warm, or inviting. They seem hateful. Almost everyone appears scary looking. It’s not that they are blue collar people, it’s that they’re mean and not ashamed to blatantly proclaim so. There’s not a lot of people here in my age range (mid twenties) but the very few ones I have met already seem to embody the judgmental, ostracizing Karen personalities. Older ladies in the stores always bump into me without saying excuse me, then there’s scary looking men who stare and are rude as if they want me to feel uncomfortable. There’s just no point in living in a small town if there’s no sense of small town hospitality or friendliness.
Casper is a great place to lay down roots and call home. Especially if you are an outdoor enthusiast! There's a mountain with miles upon miles of single track for all kinds of user groups in all seasons. Development and expansion of these trails is also in the works for years to come. Alcova, and pathfinder reservoirs are a mere 30 minutes from town offering countless opportunities for sport or pleasure. The platte river which flows through town is a blue ribbon fishery. Fremont canyon on Alcova offers world class rock climbing. The opportunities are near limitless. Couple our big open spaces with safe, and friendly neighborhoods with a good public school system and you have the makings of your forever home.
Casper is an amazing place to raise a family. With excellent schools that are some of the best funded in the country, Wyoming has always placed a high priority on its secondary education. Natrona County teams consistently earn top honors in a variety of sports and academic achievements. Best of all, as a parent, you can trust that your children are safe when they are in school. Because locals love it here, the teachers are happy and well paid, making the academic experience so much better for the students. And, there is a reason the locals love living in Casper. With the perfect combination of city and small town, it offers everything from a vibrant arts community to local shops and restaurants and an up and coming distillery and microbrewery scene. Voted the most generous town in America, Casper offers a tight knit community you can be proud to be a part of. And, if you are an outdoor activity fan, the possibilities are endless!
