Colorado is a great place to live and for me nothing in Colorado beats Colorado Springs when you evaluate the total package. I love this city and I will most likely never move away from Colorado Springs in my life. Our Crime is low, our weather is fantastic and you dont have to deal with the big city traffic although it is growing and has been since I moved here in 1980. For a city of about 500k people it still has a small town feel in many ways to me. If you ever get a chance to visit, dont miss a drive through the Garden of the Gods because it's the jewel of the city.
