New Community
Thanks to Wm Rowe
When we moved into our new home, we were clueless about everything in the area. We needed help figuring out how to do things, and we are so glad that the community was so inviting. Our closest neighbors came over the first day we were in our house with a fresh, homemade apple pie. I thought this kind of stuff only existed in the movies. They are very nice people with kids around the same age as ours. It was nice to find out about the local schools and the neighborhood from them. The following day another neighbor came over with a little pamphlet about the area. It was very helpful and gave us some good insights and tips for fun things to do. Another neighbor let us know that the best place to get our internet connection is http://www.wildbluedeals.com/. I guess since the area is rural we’re limited on services out here and she didn’t want me to spend a bunch of time doing research. I can’t believe that in just a few days we’ve already met so many people and gotten so much help. It has made things so much easier on us.
Pizzeria Rustica and other gems in Old Colorado City
The Colorado Springs area is filled with unique shopping districts and incredible dining options. For instance, there's a treasure located in the historic Old Colorado City called Pizzeria Rustica. The atmosphere is hip and inviting in this 1889 historic building, plus it's an award-winning restaurant for its artisan-style pizza. Ask for patio seating during the summer, or enjoy the cozy indoor dining year round. Try the Quattro Stagioni pizza and have the knowledgeable staff recommend the perfect wine pairing! It's closed Monday and Tuesday, so make reservations for your outing so you don't miss out on this gem!
While you're in Old Colorado City, check out the unique shops and art galleries, plus other events year round such as the Art Walk on the first Friday of each month, 5pm - 8pm.
