Hey dears. I was wondering if anyone has ever been there . Lived there or near there? Is it expensive? How are the jobs? How much do places to live run??What's fun to do ? I'm thinking it's were I'm going to hang my hat next (so to speak). It's very interesting form what all I have read. Thanks in advance.

i supposed that was a harsh appraisal of colorado springs, but it is an extremely conservative place...it's not horrible, but i personally didn't enjoy it much. there are a few cool things to do downtown, but there's no "scene" to speak of. manitou is seriously a cool rustic heady town just minutes from the springs.

I go to school in Colorado Springs and yes they it is a very conservative place. Manitou indeed cooler, but its all pretty much the same area and there are good people in both towns. Colorado is pretty much ideal if you're outdoorsy at all. the mountains are worth living in the vacinity of just about any sort of conservative imo.

I'm more in to the outdoors then anything else. I can look in to Manitou. But under the circumstance, I might have to just settle down in Springs. I'll know more about that tomorrow.I lived in a little town called Brandon, South Dakota. It can not be worse then that.

...or when you're hiking in the backcountry and see a grizzly foraging, or a herd of elk grazing, or mountain goats climbing steep ass rocks that i couldn't hope to find a foothold on, or a moose munching on some leaves, and there's osprey and eagles flying above you while the air is filled with the scent of ponderosa and doug-fir needles, and there's no sounds from car engines, buses, trains, masses of stupid tourists *coughcough rocky mt national park cough*...and all you have to worry about is finding level ground to sleep on next to this beautiful alpine lake filled with trout and watching the sunset  get away from the roads

I used to live in alamosa about 2 and half hours west of the springs in the san luis valley.. it was very cheap two bedroom was around 500 maybe 600 with everything included.. jobs were there but not the greatest (thats why i became a paramedic.. there is always a shortage of them where ever you go).. its a college town so there is some stuff to do.. Colorado was the best place i lived so far.. there was this little town called Crestone just off the highway about 30 mins north.. it was awsome because it consisted of a gas station, a general store, a thai food resturant, and a coffee shop.. only about 45 people live there year round and you can meet them all in about 2 hours if you hang at the coffee shop.. definately a hippy town..
