Other than Fountain and Wildfield, there is really no suburbs in CS. Trust me!
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!
If you lived in Woodland Park, where are you going to work?   In 2000, 4381 of 9199 (48%) workers in the Woodland Park area worked outside the county.  Commute times for 1/2 of the workforce were at least 30 minutes, with about 1/4 over 45 minutes, and 10% over an hour.  With that many people driving to the Springs, the rest of the population is supporting commuters (stores, schools, etc.).
BTW, Woodland Park is the 3rd largest incorporated city in the metro area, after the Springs and Fountain.

Though Manitou is a tourist town, people can still live there and commute into town. 

An added curiousity is that Palmer Lake has a larger population than Monument.  The houses on the east side of I-25 must not be in the town.

Good question


Does Rawlings come here any more? What about his bet with Tender Branson? Did he off himself after Romney lost?

LOL. Burning a 50€ bill ? The dollar depreciated by about 10.000.000% in the last year, so I´ll take a 20€ bill if Obama does indeed lose CO ... Tongue

...and about 5 points toward Micky C if HillDawg wins. She will probably get about 46% of the vote nationally and about 43% in Colorado.

I hereby announce that I will burn a 50€ bill if Colorado does NOT go Democratic in next years Presidential Election.

If CO stays Republican I will take a pic of the burning bill and put it on here. Smiley

DEAL!

You're betting against history, buddy (and I would argue, reality).  I will post a yardsign for the week after the election if Colorado goes blue, reading, "Colorado is a blue state."  I've got some yardsign hook-ups and I can get it nice and pretty.  I'll also post the pics.

I live in suburban Denver and, just to give you an idea about how passionately conservative much of the state is, if my yard isn't fire-bombed the sign will certainly be mutilated


time for you to hold up your end of the bargain you joke.

Good to see that CO was 2% more Democratic than the Nation. Rawlings would have had a tough time with his bet, even if the race was close ...

In CO, Obama did 2 points better than Kerry when compared with the State's Congressional Democrats.

In 2008, Obama won CO by 54-45 and the Congr. Dems won 55-43.

In 2004, Kerry lost CO by 47-52, but the Congr. Dems won by 0.2%.
