From Adam Leech: As a semi-fictional, record store-owning hopeless romantic, I am shallow AF and truly believe that the books, records and films that you consume and enjoy are inextricably woven into the fiber of your spiritual being.

What up, britches! Anything interesting happen over the last two weeks? El-Oh-El? Es-Em-Aitch? Eff-Em-El … Seriously, though? Anything? Well, then, since nothing of significance on a national/international/universal and/or metaversal quantum dysto/utopian space time continuum has transpired in the...

From Hiking Bob: Here are a couple of hikes to do in the dog days of summer, when the heat is just too much. They were chosen because of their shade-producing tree cover, their elevation or both.

In his latest article, Noel Black guides us through the complex and often polarizing landscape of gender in sports, challenging us to reconsider what fairness truly means. 'The real dilemma isn’t just about fairness in sports; it’s about how we define and understand gender in a society that’s still deeply divided on the issue.'

Since the 2024 Olympics began at the end of July, Colorado Springs native Carly Johnson and her daughter, Alana (not their real names), have been watching the women’s soccer matches with a keen interest. Alana, who’s 13 now, is a really good soccer player. In fact, she was just selected for an e...

On July 9, Colorado Springs City Council voted 8-0 to rezone these 8.1 acres of land for Colorado Springs Utilities to construct the new substation on the corner of Austin Bluffs Parkway and Goldenrod Drive.

As Keith Johnson leads a small group down the hiking path next to the Templeton Gap Floodway, a hawk cries out a warning — You’re entering my turf. Johnson says that bears and mountain lions are said to pass through and even live in the area. Bats and owls, he says, overrun the night. By

The alien architecture of the building reflects the futuristic technology of the institution it houses, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum. Walking in, visitors are greeted with a 40-foot-tall LED screen...

According to Monkia Celly, one of the biggest misconceptions Americans have about Indian food is that it is difficult to cook. Like any other cuisine, cooking Indian food is just a matter of learning the basics.

Growing up in India, Monika Celly’s family never celebrated birthdays. Every time they did, tragedy followed. Celly’s grandmother began to believe that birthdays held bad luck; so, in Celly’s childhood, she never once got her cake and presents. Now a mother of two in Colorado Springs, she goes...
