I talked to a friend of mine that used to live there. I thought he only lived in Denver. Anyway, he said it's beautiful there, he also said that if I wanted to get in the scene, I could always take a trip to Denver.
I'm pretty sure this is what I what to do. I'm going through a ruff time, so this will be a wonderful, much needed change.

5 military bases, the largest family 'morals' group in the country (Focus on the Family), and general conservatism or crackheadism are rampant...

The mountains are everywhere in Colorado. Don't live in Colorado Springs. Seriously, DO NOT. There are a lot of better towns you can live in. You don't have to live in Denver to be part of the "scene." Live in one of the suburbs or something. One of my best friends grew up in Colorado Springs and he's got nothing good to say about it. I've been there many times myself and I always get a great satisfaction when I leave. I know many people who grew up there and have not been back in over a decade...and its only an hour drive from Denver.

I went up there for 3 days and had a wonderful time... Its a college town so theres a good crowd of younge rto semi younger and middle aged folk who are good fun.
The mountains are wondeful to explore in the evening and theres a kick ass sushi place on one of the main avenues.
YEAH but ive never lived there, so i couldnt tell you what non-tourist life is like.

the springs isn't a college town.. it's a military town...
it may appear like a college town now, since like 1/3 of the population is deployed.
other downpoints: almost no public transportation, nothing is open late, there aren't many good restaurants, the skiing is too far away...
it's really better to live somewhere west of denver.. but not really past boulder unless you want to be in the middle of the mountains.

It's not bad here, the mountains are right at your door step, so that's a treat in it self. Denver is about 50 min away, but Boulder is 1 1/2-2.. Now that's where it's at I think.. It's just expensive $$$!! Nonetheless I came from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Even though I miss it cause it's home anything is still better than there. Jobs aren't to bad out here, cost of real estate is about 208,000.00 average. It's pretty, my only thing is the weather. It's constantly changing and absolutely annoying.

Colorado weather is wacky as fuck. CO springs is cheap as shit honestly haha. You can get a bomb ass 1BR for under $1,000 on the west side for which you would pay $1,500 for a similar setup in Denver. Unfortunately, the springs is like the worst place to live in Colorado besides like shitty Lamar or the 4 corners. I lived in Manitou for like 8 months. It was cool for a little while but the luster ran fast.

-------------------- If you go down round the bend in the river, You're gonna find a few changes been going down there. If you go down to the gas-powered flatland, Where most of the people just think that they're free, Remember the peace that you had on the mountain, Come back to the love that you had here with me...
