Looking For Great Diner Food in Colorado Springs?

Eat at Rosies! The newest location of Rosies Diner just opened a few weeks ago. I have to admit that we've already been there twice already. It's so nice to have new places to eat in the Northgate area. In the past we've gone up the road a few minutes to the Monument location but now we drive south on Voyager Drive to the newest location. Actually, the Monument store feels a bit more "diner-ish" but the new place is biggers and...Continue Reading!

Do I Need Snow Tires in Colorado Springs?

Well, yes and no. The answer will depend on where you live and how you live. For people who have a job that does not allow you to come in a bit later in the morning after a big snow then you will want to invest in a good set of snow tires.  Snow tires are actually made of a different rubber mixture than regular all-season tires so they work differently when gripping the road and snow.

USAFA Commissary…Is it worth the trip?

I made my monthly trip to the commissary this weekend and yes, it was worth it! For you who are civilians and reading this, you might want to just skip to the next post. This will not mean anything to you but for military people who are moving to Colorado Springs, this could have some meaning. I do admit that I split my shopping between the King Soopers in my neighborhood and the USAFA commissary. I think that most people do...Continue Reading!

If you are thinking of buying a Colorado Springs home,...Continue Reading!

Many people now want to live in a neighborhood where autos are an option. Great idea, especially as gas prices stay in the higher range. If you visit this new site, you can type in your address to see how walkable your area is. The site gives a list of nearby amenities such as schools, grocery...Continue Reading!
