Colorado 2008

Yeah, Aizen's from Castle Rock. But somehow, I have a feeling that Rawlings is from Greeley or some other far-right part of metro Denver.

I forget where he told me where he lived but it was just outside of Denver.

Castle Rock is basically the half-way point between Colorado Springs and Denver. It's a very fast growing town. I lived in the Springs for 3 1/2 years and just left there. Great city.

I will say right now, the Republican Presidential Candidate will win Colorado in '08 (unless Richardson is the nominee) and I'm not buying a Udall win yet either.

No... Colorado Springs HAS suburbs, just like Denver.

OK - Name one.

Calhan
Black Forest

Look around in Teller and El Paso counties.

Black Forest - BIG MAYBE
Calhan - Heck no

Other than Fountain and Wildfield, there is really no suburbs in CS. Trust me!

Hm. Maybe cause the metro's still relatively new, and as such hasn't undergone the suburban boom Louisville, Indianapolis, Nashville, etc. are going through

Colorado Springs is a city however, a very different city. This is because of the military stationed around there. Colorado Springs has Fort Carson, Peterson Air Force Base, NORAD and the Air Force Academy. This city today thrives off those installations. Like other military bases, only the town/city adjacent to the bases grows and not suburbs.

There is some growing around Colorado Springs. The region from Colorado Springs to Denver is becoming more metro. Think of it like Boston to Providence, it's a metro.

The Springs doesn't really have any suburbs.

I'd still say Wildfield and Fountain but that is it. Even Fountain makes me take BRTD's side on suburbs.

There's a lot going on in the Springs though. I think all the military stuff down there is cool.

Absolutely! I hope to move back there and retire from the Army there. I'd love to live either there, Manitou Springs or Monument.

What I don't like is those Focus on the Family morons down there tainting the city.

No sh**t to that! I'd love to run for public office when I retire however I know that it would be a huge war between me and jack@$$ James Dobson.

Woodland Park.  Manitou Springs.  Monument.

Teller County is part of the Colo Spgs metropolitan area for a reason.

Monument is a suburb - I'll agree there.

Woodland Park would exisit without Colorado Springs because nobody wants to drive from W/P to C/S in the snow. That is a death march. Also, it is a 35-35 minute drive from C/S to W/P.

I'm going to diagree on you regarding Manitou Springs because the town would still be there without C/S. M/S is a tourist town for Pikes Peak and I can't think of anyone who lives there because of C/S. It is its own identity.

It's a great town and I'd suggest when one goes there to do the Manitou incline. It will kick your ass!

BLUF: All three are great places to live!
