In my experience moving to wyoming has helped make my retirement years less worrisome. Its been two years since I retired with $450k, and while inflation has made it challenging to maintain the same lifestyle, relocating here has helped manage expenses better. It's been easier to stretch my savings and hopefully I won't outlive it.
I’m nearing retirement myself, and I had similar concerns. I started investing later than most, and just relying on ETF compounding wasn’t cutting it for me. After working with a financial advisor, I managed to restructure my investments and am now on track to retire with around $4 million. If I hadn’t sought advice, I doubt I’d be as confident in my plan right now.
I usually steer clear of recommending specific people because financial needs are so personal. But I can say that working with Emily Ava Milligan has made a world of difference for me. I noticed her strategies are tailored to fit personal goals and make sense for different needs. It might be worth exploring to see if her approach resonates with you.
I grew up in Cody. Just from your footage driving around town, I spotted some cars of people I know from there. Very very tight knit community. The population as a whole tries tooth and nail to keep it the way it is and limit expansion. It was a great place to grow up.
I knew you were going to say that... I live in Cody and I've been here for over 17 years. We're really trying to keep the Jackson contagion out of here and preserve Cody as a family friendly town rather than a playground for the obscenely rich. The one thing about Wyoming is that is particularly true of Cody... if you're not into the great outdoors, this place is not for you. Urbanites need not apply.
I grew up in Cody. Lived my first 21 years in WY. Attended/graduated from UW/Laramie some 50 years ago now. After that, 2 years in IN, 5 years in VA, 2 years CA, Finally, 37 years in WA. My family and I vacation regularly in CO. For short stays, I've visited many other locales, including OR, ID, MT, NV, TX, NY, MS, WV, MD, PA, OH, MI, NC, SC, GA, AL, AZ, KS, MO, ND, SD, MN. So, I consider myself well-traveled with a frame of reference that is cognizant of what many states have to offer. Wyoming is a bit of an aberration (compared to the rest of the country). It's a good place to raise children, but it is difficult to make a living there. Winters are long, bitterly cold, and the I-80 corridor has the highest wind energy density of any place in the lower 48 states. That said, would I move back to WY? Yes! -- in a heartbeat. Alas, my young wife is a Filipina and she does not want to face the cold weather in WY. I can't say that I blame her. If I was going to choose today, I'd move to Laramie or Cheyenne -- but not because I consider them the best places in Wyoming. I just enjoy the close proximity to UW and to Denver. I'm a MLB fan. I follow the Mariners (Seattle - AL) and the Rockies (Colorado - NL). And that's why I would choose southeast WY.
They are wonderful friends! One of my coworkers, a lovely Filipina, (who makes wonderful pastries) said I should not think about retiring in the Philippines. She visits her hometown often and it is not good for expats now. She mentioned I should call a DC local hotel for a room. Regards
I visited Laramie almost 2 yrs ago for a day trip a bit "accidentally". My full day plan in Rockies failed due to a snow storm, so I went to Laramie. Amazing scenic drive from FoCo is a must! The city gave me a "where time stood still" vibe at the beginning, but gotta say it's really nice and slow. People were nice too, happy to help, happy to see a tourist from abroad, asked about my country (Czech) and ready to tell me their stories. Don't miss the Altitude Chophouse & Brewery! Delicious food and beer! I'd like to come back one day.
I love Cheyenne. But… The last time I was there I got locked into a traffic jam. A herd of about 100 antelope were strolling down one of the main streets.😆😎😉
You finally back after 4 months! I’m patiently still waiting on the Americas video where you rank all of the countries in the Americas from worst to best. I would love to see Africa as well.
I grew up in one of these "cities". When someone got a new deer rifle for Christmas, we'd walk about 3 blocks to the end of the street to sight it in. Nobody paid much mind but sometimes they did come out to jabber for a while.
Sheridan is every locals dream town to move to in Wyoming and has a cheaper housing cost than the #1 on this list. Gillette is dead place last tied with Riverton, Rock Springs and Rawlings. Jackson isn’t considered real Wyoming anymore because they kicked almost all the native cowboys out. Otherwise, I absolutely loved this video and am impressed with all your facts and footage you shared in this video.
I hope your ready for extreme winter's. Cold, snow and worst of all, Constant Wind. The saying in Wyoming is "If the Wind ever stops, every one will fall over"
Definitely your best video to date. I've admittedly been critical of much of your previous content, but this new video is a huge leap in quality in my opinion.
@FromHerotoThere mango I know you probably won't but if you would move back to your old channel it would me legendary to many fans like me just like samgladiator did he came back to RUclips while we need him and we still need you bro your a childhood hero so please atleast try to come back.
I've just discovered your site and I'm happy that you name Casper as a very pleasant location to live in. My wife and I are Frenchies from Nice, French Riviera, and we intend to settle down in Casper, where we spent a fortnight between Dec 20th 2023 and Jan 5th 2024. We enjoyed an extraordinary weather ( +10° C, -10°C) and a light breeze during our stay there. I understand that winters must generally be harsher , but on the whole this place is worth living in! Thank you for this video!
I’ve visited all except green river and I can say that I agree with this list. Jackson feels more like Disneyland for adults over an actual city. Every square inch of the city is spotless, rustic and inviting. One of the cleanest outdoor downtown areas I’ve ever seen despite the hoards of tourists.
This was a very accurate ranking for WY - I have lived my entire 54 years here and in many of these "cities". You pay for the view which means that usually those are the communities with transplants who can afford it because the high paying employment opportunities are limited. There is a reasons for our low population - WEATHER and limited job opportunities (Boom/Bust economy). As a side note- putting Gillette above Sheridan was priceless.
As a resident of Wyoming for over 4 decades, I totally agree that Cody well deserves to be #1. Cody is the only town ANYWHERE where I lived once, moved away and moved back again.
Riverton, Wyoming resident here. I moved to town to work at Central Wyoming College and have lived here 4 years. CWC is one of the highest ranked junior colleges in the country and a fantastic place to work. It has one of the best performing arts facilities in the state with great community music and theatre options. Riverton also has one of the state's best and most challenging golf courses (hosts USGA qualifying), a convenient airport with daily commercial flights, and one of the most beautiful viewscapes of any Wyoming city with the Wind River mountains to the west and the Owl Creek mountains to the north. The crime and substance use statistics you mention are legitimate issues, but I've found the vibe of the town to still be neighborly, friendly, and community minded. Finally, Riverton's Central location in the state allows you to live away from the busy and expensive tourist areas while still being within day-trip driving range of the outdoor playgrounds in all parts of the state. There are a lot of terrific towns in this ranking that are pretty hard to compete with, so I actually don't think it's unfair to rank Riverton near the bottom. I do feel though that the narration paints an unrealistically bleak picture.
It certainly isn't a terrible place to live by any means (few places in Wyoming are.) But compared to the other places in the state, it definitely had the strangest "energy" in the air, and the least welcoming vibe I experienced.
We purchased our Cody, WY home two years ago after much study and deliberation as retirement approached. Like you, Cody was the logical #1 choice and we LOVE IT! The town's large and beautifully maintained recreation center allows people of all ages to stay fit. Yes, winters are cold but that's what 401Ks are for . . . snowbird money.
I'm nearing retirement and looking to forever leave Colofornia fka Colorado. Cody (or nearby Powell) was very high on my list. Though very small housing inventory and virtually no newer homes. Now about set on Sheridan. How is the CA infestation of Cody?
Welcome back! Great work! I’ve driven through a lot of Wyoming and personally would rather visit than live there. Very interesting though. Looking forward to other states in this series :)
I'll be brutally honest: I've been considerably critical of much of your previous content because even though you did somewhat back up your rankings with certain statistics, a lot of it did feel out of your depth and thus impersonal: thus just not really resonating with me with how cherry-picked a lot of your assertions and observations were. However, I am genuinely impressed by this new approach and new video of yours. I genuinely got the sense you did indeed visit all of these small cities with your ample B-roll, mentioning very specific festivals, restaurants, cafes and other institutions in each of them, and also incorporating ancillary details like closest major city to provide additional context. I highly encourage you to keep making videos with this new approach, this is by far my favorite video of yours to date! 🙂
Thanks a ton! Really proud of how this one turned out, and do think I burned out of the previous types of videos since I was playing it "too safe" and not really pivoting or trying anything that "new." Definitely have a few new ideas and styles that I wanna try out these next few months so glad you enjoyed!
@@FromHeretoThere And hopefully my original comment didn't come across too blunt or harsh to you. I do genuinely mean that out of respect and just being authentic to be clear. 🙂 But yeah: I felt quite a few of your previous videos were too interchangeable, impersonal in that even though you've undoubtedly visited plenty of those places in actuality just didn't really feel "lived in" because of how heavy they were on random statistics and "BUT HAAAAAAAYYY!!!" running gags and the like, and just kind of gentrified on a similar note. This new approach of yours feels a lot more lived in, engaging and shedding both an emotionally enriching as well as informing light on plentiful places many of us had never even heard of previously, and to those who have visited or even live in these places feels real and close to home. Kudos to you! =)
Glad you're here for the ride! I definitely want to try a more "documentary" style of video, where I visit more "obscure" locations around the country (especially ones with stories that fascinate me,) and just document what life is really like in these places. Will probably take at least a few videos to find my style, but excited to hear your feedback yet again once they're out!
@@MACMAMI You should check World according to Briggs. He has more of what you are looking for I think. I like this channel because of "bad" jokes and personal opinions, rather than just boring statistics...
Every time I watch a video on Wyoming it just makes me want to move there more! I spent 20 summers there in my younger days and loved it. But the wife will never, ever do it: cold, windy, dark, snowy winters...
Well, winters in say Cheyenne are not too bad. But yeah, the long dark winter days, and the constant wind. That does wear on a body. And yes I live in Wyoming, Cheyenne to be exact.
New York is a beautiful state and I seriously doubt you've ever been there and seen it. One thing it does lack though is comments from total fools. Sad, so sad.
Love the video idea! Like we know all about Austin and LA and New York. Tell us about beautiful Wyoming cities with 10,000 people! Yes, do Montana next!
Hi,,, I ve been looking at small towns in Wyoming,, ran across Cody,, I m 68 fiance 67 we will be traveling through,, we was thinking about getting married their, is the setting nice their for , just the two of us to get married, is their a small church< is their a court house their to get a marriage license, or would you recommend a different small town... thanks,,, sunny
@ Cody was my absolute favorite in Wyoming, hands down. Where are you headed? Meeker, Colorado is amazing but it is a really small town. Congratulations!
Always look forward to your videos as someone interested in travel and geography as it ties into my intersts of Sociology and anthropology and I'm a aspiring writer so these details helps in accuracy and choosing settings (i even added some of your stories in isolated cities in the US as a story idea itself)
With years of living and working in Wyoming from rock springs to Jackson hole ,Green River is the most down to earth normal of all these towns.Also less wind prettier scenery. My top three Evanston first,2nd Green River,#3 Afton or Pinedale.
Hey Mango I know you probably don't want anyone calling you that anymore but I just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to Minecraft and Roleplays in general. You are a legend and Rodrigo says Hi.
I love how the opening shot is a Union Pacific train. Union Pacific is so important to Wyoming’s history that the date it entered Wyoming was even in Wyoming’s important dates timeline for the last set of the World Book Encyclopedia.
Your Amazing video with new style will always make every one happy . To be happy is more important than to be successful. intrinsic motivation (new style) or sense of purpose (life goals) contributes to your true happiness.(with or without money)
Cheyenne being close to Colorado is a huge advantage in many ways. 1.5 hour drive to the Denver airport. Only 2 hours away from Red Rocks and several other music venues, Broadway theatre shows, major league sports, actual dining options in Fort Collins and Denver. Laramie is somewhat close as well.
So... Laramie and Cheyenne are great because they are close to Ft. Collins and the rest of Colorado? Sounds about right, I work around there and all I ever hear from locals is how often they go to FT. Collins to breathe some life back into themselves. Weird.
Hey! I really liked the vid! I would really love to see some of the OG style videos make a return like Best Cities to live in the US, or the best states :)
The best thing about Jackson is it is really close to Wyoming. Seriously… right now on Aug. 3, 2024, there is NOT ONE house listed for less than $1 million.
@@FromHeretoThere There's 2 Dems left in the senate, 5 in the house and they're close to losing "major party status" as a whole. Jackson hole and the University of Wyoming are pretty much the only 2 places they exist. Just like how around the nation, in red states, college towns are often blue aka Laramie, same with Colorado resort counties aka Jackson. Teton county is 70% Dem, Albany county is 55% Dem, and all other counties are around 75% GOP. If you go to the 2020 presidential election in Wyoming wiki, go to the county section, and click on the margin percentage sorter, you'll see what I mean.
I love Jackson. We've been to Yellowstone three times and stayed in Jackson overnight each time before hitting the park. Great town and I want to go back.
I don't know how you found out that Cheyenne is the "Biggest little City", but you hit the nail on the head. I live in Cheyenne, and have since 1974. The problem is, Cheyenne is a city, but does not want city things, like mass transit, or any kind of big business or industry, that could bring jobs to Cheyenne. It is a City with a Town mentality. But hey, I like it. Winters can be rough. But not nearly as bad as Laramie.
Wyoming looks like my kind of state. I hate traffic, I love fishing, and I'm not political. My husky would also love the snow. I'm hoping to move there one day
Here's what I want to know for each location: a.) How's cell service? WWW connection? b.) How long does Amazon delivery take? c.) What's the local gov't corruption situation? Zoning, etc. d.) What's the airport situation? Commuter planes only? Connections? e.) Is 3-phase power readily available? Affordable? f.) How are the local LEO's? Reasonable? g.) How much is land? Housing? I don't thing these type vids really have much utility, unless you're just a tourist.
Although too small a town to mention, Dubois has an incredible museum, maybe the best I have ever visited: The National Museum of Military Vehicles. Definitely deserves a visit.
Glad we moved to Gillette a few years back, only wish had done that sooner. Great place and people here. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city life yet not too far from a Costco or Sam's.
Why in the world would you prefer upstate New York to Wyoming? Your husband will love you even more if you head to Wyoming, so it will be a win win for you.
@@timmjackson Upstate New York is absolutely amazing. It's a big area so it depends exactly where, but there are places there that are magnificent and offer much much more than any place in Wyoming. While it is true that every person in Wyoming truly believes that everything outside of Wyoming is shit, that does not make it true . The state sport is shitting on everything and everyone not "Wyoming". this is comical and laughed at on a national level, embarrassing. I like Wyoming in many ways, but live there? Nah. I don't even mind the wind as much as others, it's the vast majority of the people's attitude and arrogance that keeps me away outside of work. Everyone battling for dominance over who is the most "Wyoming" is a childish way of living. Sorry, Wyoming... your shit stinks like everywhere else and worse than many.
Now you didn't mention my home town of Rawlins! We have the state penitentiary, county jail, city jail and dog pound! The high school mascot, the Rawlins Outlaws is however named after a wild horse. Seriously it was a great place to be raised in the 50s and early 60s.
Not exactly the same, live in Western Colorado (Crested Butte in specific), but this is by far my favorite video of yours yet. I get the feeling that you really get that not really country but not really city vibe especially well. I would love to see more videos like this, if not for Western Colorado (since I know that can be at times hard to define), then maybe some of the other mountain states.
Definitely planning to do a big roadtrip around the country and shed more light on "off-the-beaten-path" locations most people never even think about, much less visit! Crested Butte seems fascinating!
I watched you since I was a kid I used to laugh every day watching ur content I’m a teenager now even though I’ve grown up for some reason I still wish I could see one more video with baby mango
Well, shit. I was thinking where you are this week, and you're back. Nice to see you back at it, I hope to see more. If it's possible some day, maybe visit Finland for 2-4 weeks, go around and make video what town/city is nice :P 3k like for Montana next? Count me in. Maybe after that you can do Michigan next, since there's some finnish americans.
Thanks a ton dude! Glad you enjoy the videos! I'd LOVE to visit Finland! Would be awesome to make a video exploring some towns there! And I LOVE the Upper Peninsula Michigan! Explored a lot of it and got some footage last Summer, so will definitely think of making a video!
@@FromHeretoThere Yay! If you have any footage of finnish named towns, that would make my day. Too bad most of the kids born from 80's up to this day don't speak finnish like their parents did.
MANGO U MADE MY CHILDHOOD AND EVERYTHING IM HERE TO PAY MY RESPECTS BRO AND I SUPPORT U AND I LOVED THR ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE I USED TO LOVE UR CHANNEL WHEN I WAS LITTLE, ANYWAYS ✌️
I was stationed in Powell, Wyoming on temporary duty for 90 days when I was in the USAF. During that time I visited Cody, Sheridan, and Gillette, along with, of course, Yellowstone Nat'l Park.
Yupp. Visited WY for the 1st time ever last summer and got to Chy, Lar, Riverton and really enjoyed Cody (maybe more than YNP). Thermopolis and the Wind River Canyon did not disappoint.
There are some things you forgot to mention about Cheyanne. 1. It has a target and more retail shopping than pretty much every other town in the state. It also has a solid mall, although the crime as of lately has skyrocketed.
Lived in Glen Rock , worked in Casper welding 1980 -81 .our daughter was😢 born there. We left when she was 3mos old. She's never been out there since to see it. Wish we never had left.
Having grown up near Toledo, Ohio, I could really relate to your comparison of the total cities population. My son lives in Denver and while staying with him, we traveled the 2 hours to Cheyenne. Really enjoyed it. I said that I could see myself living there. Thanks for all the information.
Man its been a while man i went to your mango tango channel to rewatch the fnaf Minecraft series and i realised you hadn't posted in 4 years. I thought you quit yourube completely but its cool to see you still going man.
Since North and South Carolina are two of the fastest growing and most moved-to states, I’d like to see a Top 11 or Top 12 list of the best cities to move to in the Carolinas.
I still like Douglas. Small, nice folks, used to have a fine drag strip, but lots of badlands and close to Glendo. Jobs and investment opportinity come and go rapidly though.
We retired to Laramie a few years ago and love it. Because of UW the town punches above its weight cuturally. My wife, who is originally from Florida, was amazed that the record all time high temperature in Laramie is 94 degrees and that she will never see triple digits again unless we travel to them. Cheyenne is 45 minutes away and Ft. Collins, CO about an hour. That said, Wyoming and Laramie are not for everyone. I have never considered the winters to be that hard but they can be long. If you want big city amenities like a club scene or lots of different ethinc food choices then WY isn't for you.
I watched this video only because it has Wyoming in the title. I live in the middle of the US and have never been to Wyoming. However, I have family members in Laramie, Gillette, Sheridan and Cheyenne. I’m kind of laughing that 3 of these cities are listed in this video! Thanks for the smile!!

Having been through Wyoming many times, Sheridan is more impressive than Gillette.
I agree, but also a lot more expensive
Agreed @SidLaw500. My wife grew up in Casper and she says the same thing, and knows the state pretty well.
OMG!! Seriously! Gillette is a toilet.
Damn it! Don't tell people that!
I agree 👍

Yeah, it's one of the few places I've been that "lives up to the hype..." Like sure it's popular, but for a reason...
This was a very accurate ranking for WY - I have lived my entire 54 years here and in many of these "cities". You pay for the view which means that usually those are the communities with transplants who can afford it because the high paying employment opportunities are limited. There is a reasons for our low population - WEATHER and limited job opportunities (Boom/Bust economy). As a side note- putting Gillette above Sheridan was priceless.
Nice video! Good to see Cody as top pick. I live in nearby Powell, also a great city in Wyoming.
I visited that area this Summer because my Grandma was born in Cowley. I've been joking with my wife ever since that we're going to move to Powell.
As a resident of Wyoming for over 4 decades, I totally agree that Cody well deserves to be #1. Cody is the only town ANYWHERE where I lived once, moved away and moved back again.
Riverton, Wyoming resident here.
I moved to town to work at Central Wyoming College and have lived here 4 years. CWC is one of the highest ranked junior colleges in the country and a fantastic place to work. It has one of the best performing arts facilities in the state with great community music and theatre options. Riverton also has one of the state's best and most challenging golf courses (hosts USGA qualifying), a convenient airport with daily commercial flights, and one of the most beautiful viewscapes of any Wyoming city with the Wind River mountains to the west and the Owl Creek mountains to the north.
The crime and substance use statistics you mention are legitimate issues, but I've found the vibe of the town to still be neighborly, friendly, and community minded.
Finally, Riverton's Central location in the state allows you to live away from the busy and expensive tourist areas while still being within day-trip driving range of the outdoor playgrounds in all parts of the state.
There are a lot of terrific towns in this ranking that are pretty hard to compete with, so I actually don't think it's unfair to rank Riverton near the bottom. I do feel though that the narration paints an unrealistically bleak picture.
It certainly isn't a terrible place to live by any means (few places in Wyoming are.)
But compared to the other places in the state, it definitely had the strangest "energy" in the air, and the least welcoming vibe I experienced.
We purchased our Cody, WY home two years ago after much study and deliberation as retirement approached. Like you, Cody was the logical #1 choice and we LOVE IT! The town's large and beautifully maintained recreation center allows people of all ages to stay fit. Yes, winters are cold but that's what 401Ks are for . . . snowbird money.
Wow, glad to hear you're loving it! Yeah, I feel while Cody is GORGEOUS, it's isolated enough to keep things (moderately) affordable and un-crowded
I'm nearing retirement and looking to forever leave Colofornia fka Colorado. Cody (or nearby Powell) was very high on my list. Though very small housing inventory and virtually no newer homes. Now about set on Sheridan. How is the CA infestation of Cody?
@@Dirtshirthero Well, we'll be sure to run it past you next time. 😉
Third generation Sheridan native, it’s a wonderful city 7-8 months a year but winters can be brutal
Agreed and me to
Welcome back! Great work! I’ve driven through a lot of Wyoming and personally would rather visit than live there. Very interesting though. Looking forward to other states in this series :)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)
And yes, I agree
I remember driving I-80 at night. Was amazed by seeing the night sky that wasn’t ruined by all the light pollution.
Thank you for being back!!
Thank you for watching!
Thankfully your back!
I used to watch your old channel as a kid,
And now i watch this as im matured!❤🎉
Thanks for sticking with me! Got some new types of content coming soon too!
I'll be brutally honest: I've been considerably critical of much of your previous content because even though you did somewhat back up your rankings with certain statistics, a lot of it did feel out of your depth and thus impersonal: thus just not really resonating with me with how cherry-picked a lot of your assertions and observations were.
However, I am genuinely impressed by this new approach and new video of yours. I genuinely got the sense you did indeed visit all of these small cities with your ample B-roll, mentioning very specific festivals, restaurants, cafes and other institutions in each of them, and also incorporating ancillary details like closest major city to provide additional context.
I highly encourage you to keep making videos with this new approach, this is by far my favorite video of yours to date! 🙂
Thanks a ton! Really proud of how this one turned out, and do think I burned out of the previous types of videos since I was playing it "too safe" and not really pivoting or trying anything that "new."
Definitely have a few new ideas and styles that I wanna try out these next few months so glad you enjoyed!
@@FromHeretoThere And hopefully my original comment didn't come across too blunt or harsh to you. I do genuinely mean that out of respect and just being authentic to be clear. 🙂 But yeah: I felt quite a few of your previous videos were too interchangeable, impersonal in that even though you've undoubtedly visited plenty of those places in actuality just didn't really feel "lived in" because of how heavy they were on random statistics and "BUT HAAAAAAAYYY!!!" running gags and the like, and just kind of gentrified on a similar note.
This new approach of yours feels a lot more lived in, engaging and shedding both an emotionally enriching as well as informing light on plentiful places many of us had never even heard of previously, and to those who have visited or even live in these places feels real and close to home. Kudos to you! =)
Glad you're here for the ride! I definitely want to try a more "documentary" style of video, where I visit more "obscure" locations around the country (especially ones with stories that fascinate me,) and just document what life is really like in these places. Will probably take at least a few videos to find my style, but excited to hear your feedback yet again once they're out!
@@FromHeretoThere I'll be happy to. I genuinely think you're already onto something here that will help your videos stand apart and feel your own! =)
@@MACMAMI You should check World according to Briggs. He has more of what you are looking for I think. I like this channel because of "bad" jokes and personal opinions, rather than just boring statistics...
Every time I watch a video on Wyoming it just makes me want to move there more! I spent 20 summers there in my younger days and loved it. But the wife will never, ever do it: cold, windy, dark, snowy winters...
Well, winters in say Cheyenne are not too bad. But yeah, the long dark winter days, and the constant wind. That does wear on a body. And yes I live in Wyoming, Cheyenne to be exact.
Sorry, we're full
The worst city in Wyoming is better than the best city in New York.
💯
You need to get out more.
They dissed my home town. I love Riverton!
New York is a beautiful state and I seriously doubt you've ever been there and seen it. One thing it does lack though is comments from total fools. Sad, so sad.
Wrong. Most towns in Wyoming are not friendly. Lived there two years and couldn’t get out fast enough.
Love the video idea! Like we know all about Austin and LA and New York. Tell us about beautiful Wyoming cities with 10,000 people! Yes, do Montana next!
Glad you enjoyed! Planning another trip to Montana soon!
Please do California! I would love to see Citrus Heights get some attention!
Pinedale, at the foot of the Wind Rivers, is my favorite town in Wyoming.
I absolutely loved Cody. Beautiful! Also Craig, Wyoming. If you get a chance drive the Beartooth Highway. You are right, the drive is jaw dropping!
Hi,,, I ve been looking at small towns in Wyoming,, ran across Cody,, I m 68 fiance 67 we will be traveling through,, we was thinking about getting married their, is the setting nice their for , just the two of us to get married, is their a small church< is their a court house their to get a marriage license, or would you recommend a different small town... thanks,,, sunny
@ Cody was my absolute favorite in Wyoming, hands down. Where are you headed? Meeker, Colorado is amazing but it is a really small town. Congratulations!
Man, just seeing your in-depth reviews of all these places really makes me feel good, even if I’m still 5 years away from even becoming a legal adult.
Never too young to learn - prepare for your future
Glad you enjoyed! :)
Always look forward to your videos as someone interested in travel and geography as it ties into my intersts of Sociology and anthropology and I'm a aspiring writer so these details helps in accuracy and choosing settings (i even added some of your stories in isolated cities in the US as a story idea itself)
Wow, that's incredible to hear! Glad I could help!
With years of living and working in Wyoming from rock springs to Jackson hole ,Green River is the most down to earth normal of all these towns.Also less wind prettier scenery.
My top three Evanston first,2nd Green River,#3 Afton or Pinedale.
@@vaughnmoore4950 i loved living in GR!
Hey Mango I know you probably don't want anyone calling you that anymore but I just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to Minecraft and Roleplays in general.
You are a legend and Rodrigo says Hi.
Nice video of the Moose when showing the area around Cody. 👍
I love how the opening shot is a Union Pacific train. Union Pacific is so important to Wyoming’s history that the date it entered Wyoming was even in Wyoming’s important dates timeline for the last set of the World Book Encyclopedia.
Your Amazing video with new style will always make every one happy . To be happy is more important than to be successful. intrinsic motivation (new style) or sense of purpose (life goals) contributes to your true happiness.(with or without money)
agree - very deep
Nice
I'm so happy you're back
It's good to be back :)
Holy!!!!! Your production levels and style are off the charts!!!!
Cheyenne being close to Colorado is a huge advantage in many ways. 1.5 hour drive to the Denver airport. Only 2 hours away from Red Rocks and several other music venues, Broadway theatre shows, major league sports, actual dining options in Fort Collins and Denver. Laramie is somewhat close as well.
Sounds like you should just move to the shit hole Colorado
The price for living in Cheyenne/Larmaie is the WIND and I-80 /I-25 Closures. Oh and CFR - when most locals take thier vacations to avoid.
So... Laramie and Cheyenne are great because they are close to Ft. Collins and the rest of Colorado? Sounds about right, I work around there and all I ever hear from locals is how often they go to FT. Collins to breathe some life back into themselves. Weird.
Hey! I really liked the vid! I would really love to see some of the OG style videos make a return like Best Cities to live in the US, or the best states :)
Thanks dude! And gonna try branching into a few new styles of videos, but I think we'll tie in some of those references too :)
You're finally back! Also can you do top 10 best countries to live in 2024
(This is just a recommendation)
Yes! Hope you enjoyed :)
Wonderful video! FHTH - 20% off + free shipping! Very cool ! Love the mango tattoo on your hand.
yes the tattoo mango is very cute on his hand
FHTH 20% off - very cool
Your amazing video with new style really make us happy.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent video, Interesting + informative + entertaining
The best thing about Jackson is it is really close to Wyoming. Seriously… right now on Aug. 3, 2024, there is NOT ONE house listed for less than $1 million.
Welcome back Mango!
Thanks man! Hope you enjoyed!
@@FromHeretoThere The video was amazing dude! Keep up the good work❤
From Here to There, This is amazing! I subscribed right away!
Thanks so much :)
Great video! Fun fact, Whyoming may be the first state to have a one party legislature
Wow didn't know that! Does that just mean every elected official might be a Republican in 2025, or are they changing a law?
@@FromHeretoThere There's 2 Dems left in the senate, 5 in the house and they're close to losing "major party status" as a whole. Jackson hole and the University of Wyoming are pretty much the only 2 places they exist. Just like how around the nation, in red states, college towns are often blue aka Laramie, same with Colorado resort counties aka Jackson. Teton county is 70% Dem, Albany county is 55% Dem, and all other counties are around 75% GOP. If you go to the 2020 presidential election in Wyoming wiki, go to the county section, and click on the margin percentage sorter, you'll see what I mean.
@@FromHeretoThere well, people here are either Republican or RINO 😉
Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the support!
I love Jackson. We've been to Yellowstone three times and stayed in Jackson overnight each time before hitting the park. Great town and I want to go back.
I agree about Cody’s Walmart. Fantastic
Been thru & visited WY lotsa times; great peeps mostly! Very windy & good air. Greetings & felicitations from WI! 👋
Lived and raised my family in Cody, only problem was Yellowstone to the west. Too many tourists but still a beautiful small city.
I don't know how you found out that Cheyenne is the "Biggest little City", but you hit the nail on the head. I live in Cheyenne, and have since 1974. The problem is, Cheyenne is a city, but does not want city things, like mass transit, or any kind of big business or industry, that could bring jobs to Cheyenne. It is a City with a Town mentality. But hey, I like it. Winters can be rough. But not nearly as bad as Laramie.
You gained a new subscriber from Scotland! Great videos😊
Fun fact to highlight Wyoming’s rural vibe. There are a total of 2 escalators in Wyoming… both of them are in Casper.
Wyoming looks like my kind of state. I hate traffic, I love fishing, and I'm not political. My husky would also love the snow. I'm hoping to move there one day
I will never forget your voice from all those Minecraft roleplays haha, loved it
Here's what I want to know for each location:
a.) How's cell service? WWW connection?
b.) How long does Amazon delivery take?
c.) What's the local gov't corruption situation? Zoning, etc.
d.) What's the airport situation? Commuter planes only? Connections?
e.) Is 3-phase power readily available? Affordable?
f.) How are the local LEO's? Reasonable?
g.) How much is land? Housing?
I don't thing these type vids really have much utility, unless you're just a tourist.
Although too small a town to mention, Dubois has an incredible museum, maybe the best I have ever visited: The National Museum of Military Vehicles. Definitely deserves a visit.
Bit of a weird video. But I'm all for it. No state shall be forgotten!
Glad you enjoyed!
Lived in Cheyenne for 4 hrs. Bitter winters, but a great to live if you l8ke the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, camping. Frontier Days is outstanding.
Glad we moved to Gillette a few years back, only wish had done that sooner. Great place and people here. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city life yet not too far from a Costco or Sam's.
Buffalo Wyo is super cool we love it! Very small town and a lot of historical attractions.
But don't rely on the residents to make a living. And the cost of living is ridiculous for the average working family.
My husband is from Casper. We live in New York(upstate, not the city). He still wants to move back there after 21years. Luckily he loves me more. 🙂
Why in the world would you prefer upstate New York to Wyoming? Your husband will love you even more if you head to Wyoming, so it will be a win win for you.
@@timmjackson Upstate New York is absolutely amazing. It's a big area so it depends exactly where, but there are places there that are magnificent and offer much much more than any place in Wyoming. While it is true that every person in Wyoming truly believes that everything outside of Wyoming is shit, that does not make it true . The state sport is shitting on everything and everyone not "Wyoming". this is comical and laughed at on a national level, embarrassing. I like Wyoming in many ways, but live there? Nah. I don't even mind the wind as much as others, it's the vast majority of the people's attitude and arrogance that keeps me away outside of work. Everyone battling for dominance over who is the most "Wyoming" is a childish way of living. Sorry, Wyoming... your shit stinks like everywhere else and worse than many.
Now you didn't mention my home town of Rawlins! We have the state penitentiary, county jail, city jail and dog pound! The high school mascot, the Rawlins Outlaws is however named after a wild horse. Seriously it was a great place to be raised in the 50s and early 60s.
Not exactly the same, live in Western Colorado (Crested Butte in specific), but this is by far my favorite video of yours yet. I get the feeling that you really get that not really country but not really city vibe especially well. I would love to see more videos like this, if not for Western Colorado (since I know that can be at times hard to define), then maybe some of the other mountain states.
Definitely planning to do a big roadtrip around the country and shed more light on "off-the-beaten-path" locations most people never even think about, much less visit! Crested Butte seems fascinating!
I watched you since I was a kid I used to laugh every day watching ur content I’m a teenager now even though I’ve grown up for some reason I still wish I could see one more video with baby mango
I LIVED IN Lingle as a kid, loved it. A vety small town., wide, wide open spaces, huge farms.
You know why everyone in Torrington speaks Spanish???
It's by Lingle😊
hi mango Ty for the memories
very true. he gave us happy childhood
😔
Well, shit. I was thinking where you are this week, and you're back. Nice to see you back at it, I hope to see more.
If it's possible some day, maybe visit Finland for 2-4 weeks, go around and make video what town/city is nice :P
3k like for Montana next? Count me in. Maybe after that you can do Michigan next, since there's some finnish americans.
Thanks a ton dude! Glad you enjoy the videos!
I'd LOVE to visit Finland! Would be awesome to make a video exploring some towns there! And I LOVE the Upper Peninsula Michigan! Explored a lot of it and got some footage last Summer, so will definitely think of making a video!
@@FromHeretoThere Yay! If you have any footage of finnish named towns, that would make my day. Too bad most of the kids born from 80's up to this day don't speak finnish like their parents did.
MANGO U MADE MY CHILDHOOD AND EVERYTHING IM HERE TO PAY MY RESPECTS BRO AND I SUPPORT U AND I LOVED THR ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE I USED TO LOVE UR CHANNEL WHEN I WAS LITTLE, ANYWAYS ✌️
yes follow mango for life
My rule….. No town on an Interstate! Lived in Riverton for 3 years. It was terrific.
Hope this city grows bigger with everyone and everything 😊
I was stationed in Powell, Wyoming on temporary duty for 90 days when I was in the USAF. During that time I visited Cody, Sheridan, and Gillette, along with, of course, Yellowstone Nat'l Park.
Amazing video !
Thanks!
Yupp. Visited WY for the 1st time ever last summer and got to Chy, Lar, Riverton and really enjoyed Cody (maybe more than YNP). Thermopolis and the Wind River Canyon did not disappoint.
There are some things you forgot to mention about Cheyanne. 1. It has a target and more retail shopping than pretty much every other town in the state. It also has a solid mall, although the crime as of lately has skyrocketed.
Lived in Glen Rock , worked in Casper welding 1980 -81 .our daughter was😢 born there. We left when she was 3mos old. She's never been out there since to see it. Wish we never had left.
Having grown up near Toledo, Ohio, I could really relate to your comparison of the total cities population. My son lives in Denver and while staying with him, we traveled the 2 hours to Cheyenne. Really enjoyed it. I said that I could see myself living there. Thanks for all the information.
Glad you enjoyed! And yeah, truly a magical state if you go in with the right expectations :)
I live in Montana and if I had to choose a city to live, it would be Cody or Sheridan, probably with Cody getting the nod. Great towns.
Thank you for making my childhood mango ❤
Man its been a while man i went to your mango tango channel to rewatch the fnaf Minecraft series and i realised you hadn't posted in 4 years. I thought you quit yourube completely but its cool to see you still going man.
Riverton is the city closest to the wind river reservation.
Since North and South Carolina are two of the fastest growing and most moved-to states, I’d like to see a Top 11 or Top 12 list of the best cities to move to in the Carolinas.
Hoping to do another trip to the SE this Summer!
I still like Douglas. Small, nice folks, used to have a fine drag strip, but lots of badlands and close to Glendo. Jobs and investment opportinity come and go rapidly though.
I lived in Casper for 2 years.
The great thing about Wyoming? Very few fellow Americans.
We've been to Sheridan and enjoyed it. Very nice town.
I do like Cody. I love the firearms museum and the Bear’s Tooth Pass.
We retired to Laramie a few years ago and love it. Because of UW the town punches above its weight cuturally. My wife, who is originally from Florida, was amazed that the record all time high temperature in Laramie is 94 degrees and that she will never see triple digits again unless we travel to them. Cheyenne is 45 minutes away and Ft. Collins, CO about an hour. That said, Wyoming and Laramie are not for everyone. I have never considered the winters to be that hard but they can be long. If you want big city amenities like a club scene or lots of different ethinc food choices then WY isn't for you.
Those cold, windy winters are what keeps people away and the nature so pristine, however :)
I CHEERED SO LOUD WHEN I SAW U UPLOAD!!! ILY MANGO!!!

I watched this video only because it has Wyoming in the title.
I live in the middle of the US and have never been to Wyoming. However, I have family members in Laramie, Gillette, Sheridan and Cheyenne. I’m kind of laughing that 3 of these cities are listed in this video!
Thanks for the smile!!
He literally listed every city in Wyoming. There aren’t anymore to list. Wyoming is just that small.
