Don't forget about the Green Door downtown...just as bad as the Clown's Den without the long drive.  Grew up on the north side of Cheyenne.  Not a bad place to raise a family.  If you go far enough north, you can get a pretty big house but its still kinda out on the prairie.  It is windy but not that bad.  If you aren't used to winter driving, you're in for a treat when the roads get bad.  Good luck in cheytown.
