We went to Manitou Springs on Friday night. My husband surprised me after he got home from work with a "We are going out to dinner somewhere"
He always does that. I love surprises. I'm like a kid. We went to a restaurant called "The Stagecoach Inn". Its a very laid back family place. My daughter had the new york steak which was good and my husband and myself had the bison steak. I hated it and he loved it. This was my first time eating a bison steak and it tasted a bit funny to me.
Yes, It did seem like a bit of a hippy town. Its got great shops and galleries of local artists and Native American art. I did see a lady all dressed like a earth mama and a few men who looked like the 60's
Pretty cool. The shop owners / workers were all nice and friendly despite the late hour we strolled in. The town is full of funky shops and restaurants. We will go back!
I would think the snow may be worse there? It seems higher up?

Other topic--how is life in Manitou Springs? My impression is that it is relatively a hippie town (yes or no?), lower-rent area. I'm a relatively conservative guy but get along with a fairly wide spectrum. How do you who live there like it, and why?
Thanks for your input!
