Three cities in Colorado — a state whose fortunes have been tied to the boom and bust of oil, gas and other commodities — are among the top 10 leading destinations for the nation's best and brightest as old cow and mining towns morph into technology hubs, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Boulder, the small college town located just north of Colorado's capital, is ranked No. 1 nationally in the Bloomberg Brain Concentration Index, which tracks business formation as well as employment and education in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. Fort Collins and Denver follow at No. 4 and No. 10, respectively.

Skip Memphis unless you want to live way out around Germantown. It's a shithole in Memphis proper with a way above average chance of you getting robbed, raped, or killed to death. Well, maybe not raped if you fit the male nerd stereotype but it's the twenty-teens so you never know.
