Where should I go to find some of the homeless people around the city? I have packages of food I want to give to those that need it.

Hello friends! Im looking for a og tamales recipe. Would anyone be so kind to share with me how your family makes red pork Tamales. I would super appreciate it.

My child is 14, and looking to get into some beginners acting here in COS. They would need a place that is autism friendly and patient as they are truly new to this.

It’s the first time they have expressed interest in an extra curricular so I’m really trying to help find something great that they will love!

Thank you!

I was born in 2005 and have lived in COS my whole life. When the Sky Sox announced their departure, I was sad but not distraught because I knew the Helena Brewers (rookie affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers) were coming into town. However, when the Vibes folded, it felt like I lost a first love to this city.

These past few days, I have been trying to find any news on the future of professional baseball in the city but the only thing I have heard was from a couple articles that were posted back in December that said of a potential new team in the American Association of Professional Baseball that would be located in the Springs.

I now turn to y’all and not ask for answers but more so of possible hints or rumors that were heard. What does the future of baseball look like in COS, is it on a hiatus right now or is this the start of something permanent? Looking at videos of the current state of the old Vibes stadium, it’s distraught and already ran down; so, what will happen to the stadium? Will it be destructed? How do you all feel about baseball being absent in COS, is it noticeable or kind of an, eh whatever thing?

It’s been killing me knowing that baseball isn’t here anymore, but I still will always hold out hope for another beginning of baseball in Colorado Springs.

I’ve been thinking this is a field I want to go into, but I know that just because it’s legal that not all jobs allow a positive thc test. I don’t want to be high for it, I literally want to smoke on my weekends and after work, but I know I’ll pop dirty. I’m just curious of there are any zoos/wildlife sanctuaries that are more lax on that? The other topics I’d like to stack onto my career are also biology and paleontology if that helps at all. Thanks in advance :)

Hey Im 25, I just moved to Colorado Springs from Alaska (long story) and Im looking to meet some new people and maybe make some new friends! I am currently finishing up a degree in Elementary education, I like rock climbing, animals, shopping, thrifting, ceramics, crafting, running, and light hikes. I also love playing cozy games like stardew valley and pokopia. Are there any social groups or community events where I can meet people with similar interests?

Edit: It appears the House voted on it today and it passed. I still encourage folks to call Crank and let him know how you feel about further entwining Israel in our military.

Original text:

Tomorrow the House is voting on the annual military funding bill that includes provisions to greatly deepen U.S.-Israel military and intelligence ties.

Lawmakers in Congress are trying to massively expand military ties between the United States and Israel — and they're hoping the public won't notice.

These NDAA provisions would profit Israeli weapons makers by embedding them into Pentagon procurement processes and mandate intelligence sharing even as the Trump administration itself has raised a red flag about Israel spying on the U.S.

Take action now and tell your Representative to vote NO on the NDAA and oppose efforts to deepen U.S.-Israel military and intelligence ties.

The IMEU Policy Project has a toolkit that will dial the Congressman's office for you and provide a template script for reference when you make a call. It only takes a couple minutes to make an impact!

Ive never seen so many days in the 90s with lows in the upper 60s

Hello! I'm going to be visiting Colorado Springs for the first time in two weeks, and will be there for about six days. I'd love get a few rides in on some of the local dirt. It looks like you have some awesome trail systems that would be a nice change from our east coast roots and trees. The problem is, I've called several bike shops in town and none of them seem to do rentals or rent demos. So putting this out to the locals: is there anywhere in town where one can rent a decent full-suspension bike for a day or two at a reasonable price? Thanks so much for any helpful suggestions.

Good morning,

I'm looking on behalf of someone who doesn't use social media for recommendations for a car accident defense attorney. They received a summons and are reaching out to the insurance company who handled the claim (work truck) but would like to consult with an attorney. Any recommendations or who to stay away from? Thank you!

I can't believe this has to be said but data centers should not be built this close to houses. The fact that the houses were allowed to be built before or after doesn't matter. The city council approved it and that in itself is part of the problem. City council members only get paid $7,000 per year which is why I advocate for them to receive a living salary so they would be less likely to be influenced by outside interests. It's hard not to wonder what they are getting out of this deal that no one else in the city is going to get. One hundred jobs isn't enough to justify the resources this is going to need. Who's to say they will actually hire locals or if they will bring their own people from out of state. But even if they are all local, 100 jobs doesn't justify the resources this is going to need. You better believe it's not going to be enough. They will want more and more. We are not against data centers in general. We are against AI data centers, especially ones that are this close to houses, especially without serious impact studies. It's ridiculous this has to be said but I don't think we are asking for the world here. We just don't want a data center this close to houses let alone this close to Garden of the Gods.

Edit 2... Here is a local group that's working on pushing back. This is their Insta

I need some repairs on my deck (new decking, replacing some rotting fascia boards, etc.). Does anyone have recommendations for someone that would do such work well (and ideally w/o gouging me)?

I dont know how it is everywhere else but on the west side where I work its pouring a LOT. Finally, Im happy we are getting rain

I had a guy call me and say he was from the Wings fraud department. He said my card was used in Texas. Also, someone had changed my username and was in my account on multiple devices. He then asked me what my original username was. At this point I knew better then to give out my info. So I hung up and called Wings/ENT directly. My account is fine. They were trying to get me to give them my information.

So if your "bank" calls you don't give out any information and call your bank back to verify.

Hello Everyone!

We recently moved to Colorado Springs and are looking at hiring a cleaning company for a house cleaning every other week.

I recently read a few threads about Murphy Pro cleaners but haven’t been able to get a response from them so looking to see what other people recommend in the area

Thanks in advance!

I know there are a few spots in town to buy records but is there one you'd recommend to find newer releases? The ones I've been to are mostly older albums (Tiger records) or more niche punk/metal (What's Left). Hoping to pick up the new Boards of Canada album. Thanks.

Yes! The 70MM for The Odyssey is functioning just fine.Carefree circle is still working. There was one missed show this last weekend for an arm that broke and there was one show delayed. IMAX in south Denver is down. Spread the word. Im seeing a lot of incorrect information going around.
