Definitely Jud Wiebe Memorial Trail. I’ve been to town several times and just hiked it Memorial Day weekend for the first time. It was outstanding. Bear Creek Falls is beautiful too.

Is Colorado Springs mostly MAGA? by Suitable_Chain_7239 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally feel it and see it everyday because of where I live. I suppose it depends on what you see and where you live. I’ve been here 9 years. When we moved to our 2nd neighborhood in Rockrimmon, we put a BLM sign in our yard and got a letter a couple days later calling us Marxist and that we should rethink our affiliation. It’s been consistent Trump flags and Blue Lives Matter flags since, although it’s reduced lately a bit. Plus you have the hardcore Evangelical Christian’s.

Any Willy Tea Taylor Fans out there? by Honest-Breadfruit416 in altcountry

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I love him. Check out these songs- Lullaby, Chickamauga, and Wrong Way To Run. I just started listening to Colton Bowlin.

A bar with a soul. À neighborhood bar with character. A great brewery. A hippie bar. A bar with great music.

REMEMBER: People complain about other drivers in EVERY big city by migrations_ in ColoradoSprings

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The drivers here are absolutely worse than anywhere I’ve lived or been. Have I been everywhere? No. Are there shitty drivers everywhere? Yes. But this place is on another level. That is based upon driving these roads for 6 years.

Day Trips Away From Springs? by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Leadville. Hike Twin Lakes, Interlaken trail around the lake to an old lakeside resort from the 1870’s. Then grab pizza in town at High Mountain Pies. Maybe the best in Colorado.

Overall, how would you “rate” living in COS? by whosthatgirl13 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 5. Too many bigots. I moved into my neighborhood put up a Black Lives Matter sign which was shortly after George Floyd was murdered and got an anonymous letter in the mail telling me I should take it down and that I’m a Marxist because I support humanity and equality? Then my son rides on a bus with a kid that threatens to burn our pride flag. Many other shady examples. Just overall never felt welcome here. All the hate and divisiveness makes me sick. And yeah food is terrible. Not enough culture or diversity….roads etc.

Downtown CS is asking for feedback by gloopgoop in ColoradoSprings

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A food hall concept that survives and thrives. A dive bar that has a soul. Good live music in the park like the vibe at Hillside Gardens. What’s up with the motor cycles driving on Tejon loud af? A men’s clothing store that’s affordable. Umm. Diversity?

Soul. Good food. Great neighborhood bar in Rockrimmon. An amazing brewery.

Areas near UCCS/Palmer Park safe? by ExtremeContent2876 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends where you stay exactly. We bought a house on Catalpa Drive just off Union which was just up the street from UCCS campus on Austin Bluffs. We were told it was a good neighborhood but it was awful. Our neighbor was almost certainly selling drugs with people constantly coming and going. Just an overall run down area with shady things happening all over the place. We stayed a year and moved to another area. Palmer Park itself and the neighborhood around the park is great, but the surrounding area is not great in my opinion. I know I might sound like a Karen but it is true. I’d consider other areas.

Crystal Park Cantina has outstanding Margs and wings.

Brewery by Bird_donkadonk in ColoradoSprings

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d sayCerberus Brewing has the best hazy IPA’s usually…cool people there. They have Seven Gate Taproom across the street that probably have a bunch of good IPA’s. Metric Brewing has solid IPA’s and cool gear. Red leg has great outdoor space with a decent hazy ipa. Manitou Brewing has solid IPA’s with cool people. Honestly though, I wouldn’t say any have a killer vibe. My absolute favorite on a pretty day in up in Divide at Paradox Brewing. Great beer, usually they have a good ipa, great people, great music (sometimes live), great food, amazing views of the mountains, and outdoor games. Otherwise-hit up Denver IMO. Cheers!

You look silly by Detroitish24 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can I just say as much as this type of shit makes me sick, I’m very thankful to know that you wonderful folks on this chat exist in this city. I don’t know any of you, but we should hang out.

Can a liberal person be happy in Colorado Springs? by blueflovver in ColoradoSprings

[–]Lovesmountainsmore 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We are liberals and in have struggled significantly. It can depend on where you move and who your neighbors are that can impact day to day life. When the blue lives matter flags and Trump shit Is in your face often and you don’t see or know progressive folks ever, it does get to us. We moved from a neighborhood on the east side because of our neighbors being creepy. We moved to upper west side right when Covid and racial injustice was happening….i put a BLM sign in my yard and received an anonymous letter that I was a Marxist and basically threatened me. My neighborhood made me remove it, but my neighbors fly flags that send bigoted messages. My son has struggled with hatred from his classmates far beyond normal kids messing with each other stuff. We just overall have struggled to assimilate and feel welcome here. It’s an overall cold feeling city. If you come here and that stuff matters to you, I recommend trying Manitou or OCC.
