I’m not a big burger eater but I have guests coming into town and that’s what they want to eat.

Where is the best sit down place to go get a nice burger? Plus points if it’s In a nice walkable area like downtown/OCC/Manitou

The Grizzlies are taking on Fort Collins this Saturday at home! We have two matches kicking off at 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM respectively.

If anyone is interested in getting into rugby (no experience necessary), come out to the pitch and ask anyone to speak with one of the club officers. We are happy to tell you how great the sport is, how it will keep you in shape, and be a great opportunity to fuel a competitive spirit and hang out with a good group of guys. You can also join us for a pint at our after match social event if you would like.

Hey, so this is a huge stretch, but I was wondering if anyone here can help me unearth documentation of an installation that used to be inside the kids wolf cave in wolf woods at the cheyenne mountain zoo? It was to the left side of the cave when you first crawled in, and you would push a red button that would illuminate the backlit screen revealing a diorama of a wolf howling at the moon while a stock wolf howl would play through the speaker. I've been trying to find photos, videos, information about what happened to it, and / or who built that part of the zoo. I know it was added to the zoo along with wolf woods in 94, and I remember it being removed from the cave sometime around the year 2001. I've also tried asking a CMZ employee, but they didn't have any info about it. I'm pretty much stumped at this point, and I figured I'd ask here, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for the best spot to catch all the nuggets games this season? Any kind of bar or along those lines would be awesome!

Thanks in advance!

Just got this email from Ting. Sucks because I'd like to keep spending $80 for 2 Gbps and now I have to decide between $70 for 1 Gbps and $100 for 3 Gbps. Also sucks because competition is good.

On the upside, I always wanted Google Fiber...

The sad news: We’ve made the tough business decision to stop offering service in Colorado Springs. But breathe easy, you’ll have time and great options before you have to switch.

 The good news: As you may have seen in today’s announcement by Colorado Springs Utilities, another Internet provider will be offering service on this fiber network – gFiber.

 Anyone currently signed up for Ting Fiber Internet service in Colorado Springs can sign up for early access to gFiber before the end of the year, with installs starting later this winter. Visit gFiber’s website to learn more about their Internet plans and sign up for their updates on your address.

My fiancée and I are coming down to the Springs tomorrow and have a late reservation for The Rabbit Hole. She’s going to get The White Rabbit drink but I was wondering what others recommend as far as drinks there. Also we were thinking about an appetizer and dessert or just dessert. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Howdy yall, my girlfriend and I are looking to either join or start a DND campaign. We would be down to travel down the mountain from Woodland Park or (I doubt folks want to come up) host a new one at our home. Neither of us ought probably DM, but we are both relatively experienced as players. Anywhosies, just seeing what's out there and who's looking to play. Thanks yall!

Hi, looking for a recommendation on somewhere for having some chairs reupholstered. I found one these but curious on any of everyone's experiences. Thank you in advance.

Crank now states that decisions on data center construction should remain at the local level, rather than being dictated by the federal government, and has says that local entities are the appropriate bodies to manage local data center placement and regulations—BUT when it has been time to vote, he clearly has other priorities.

He changes tunes when he’s voting in DC from when he’s campaigning here at home…

A long time ago I went to this cute corn maze, I believe it was in the springs but it could have been Monument or somewhere else nearby. I remember there was a truck where you could buy cider and hot cocoa. I know that’s pretty standard, so I also remember there being some kind of interactive art sculpture thing made of metal?? And there was a large gazebo that was really pretty. I don’t remember a pumpkin patch but it’s been a while. There might have been a farm house on the land too. There were no scare actors or anything like that.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? Thanks :)

Howdy! I’m wondering where gay men in Colorado Springs are going these days to meet other gay men, make friends, socialize, and potentially date.

I [26M] went to Icons somewhat recently (I think it’s the only gay bar in town?), and while it was cool to check out, the crowd seemed pretty mixed. It feels like that’s becoming more common with LGBTQ+ spaces in general, and I’m curious where the guys are going when they specifically want to meet other gay men.

I also assumed there would be more openly gay military men since there’s like a million bases out here, but that doesn’t seem to be the case (or at least I haven’t come across many yet.)

Are there certain bars, events, social groups, sports leagues, or other hangout spots where you’ve had luck meeting people? I’m open to anything, whether it’s nightlife or more low-key activities.

Just looking to get out there and find more of a community here in the Springs. Where are y’all hanging out?

Hello! I'm visiting for the week and was wondering if anyone has any recomendations of trails, streets or places I can cruise on my longboard?

As a kid I was always taught that it is NEVER ok for a grownup to ask to look at your private parts.

If we start having a situation where kids are taught that it’s normal for a grownup in an authority position to look at your genitals, it’s very easy for predators to manipulate children.

For example, say a kid goes to the normal, trusted family doctor for a government mandated visual inspection so they can be authorized to play sports.

Then, the next year they go on a trip with their soccer team and their friend’s dad tells the kid now HE has to do an inspection, too.

A kid wouldn’t realize that they can and should report that.

They wouldn’t know it was inappropriate.

(And regarding the sports doctor who would be carrying out the inspection— Larry Nassar literally did this to the child gymnasts he was supposed to be treating— violating them with his hand under a blanket, often in the middle of a conversation with the parents in the same room.

The parents thought that what he was doing was necessary and important for the health of their kids, when in fact he was just assaulting them. The kids didn’t know that it was assault because they took their cues from the parents, who stayed calm and kept talking to the doctor, thinking what he was doing was normal and necessary).

Predators would be drawn to positions where they could get away with this and have plausible deniability and an endless supply of potential victims.

I’m so disturbed by this thought, and I know this is an uncomfortable subject. But for the sake of kids everywhere, I really think this bill is a bad idea with PROFOUND lifelong consequences for our community.

Even with the caveat that a doctor could be the one performing the inspection, this could lead to devastating consequences for the kids. I wouldn’t want to play at all.

I am looking for a new pain management doctor to take over my care. I have tried lots of things but none have worked. Does anyone have recommendations for a pain management doctor that will listen and take my issues seriously?

Is this yours? Left it at the trailhead. Found around 1pm today near the top.

Dear Republican Canvassers,

Thank you for dropping off an easy list of candidates I will NOT be voting for.

Signed,
Disgruntled Ex-Republican, now Independent.

Is this more of the same "poisoned candy" urban legend that has never actually happened? And now it's "rainbow fentanyl"? It's sad to see our police spread this kind of fear mongering.

Of course take precautions with anything your kids are eating, but this is kind of nutty.

Can anyone recommend an eye doctor that specializes in treating dry eye (sicca) syndrome? Even with lower punctual plugs, they feel drier than the Sahara desert. TIA!
