[West Ash]

Just moved into town.
Anyone know of any new changes in the Springs area roads, stores, ect? Share the info

Since when?

Powers and Woodmen are separated by a bridge.
Powers is expected to connect to I-25 near Interquest
Marksheffel is expected to connect to Black Forest Road near Volmer.
I think Union and Austin Bluffs will be separated by a bridge.
There's now a Costco.
You can buy real alcohol on Sunday
Some dude at the new life church (spit) made headlines
The Thunderbirds couldn't perform because of a once every five years fog at the Air Force Academy
Monument still looks pretty drab for a town with the fourth highest median income in Colorado.
There's a new high school in Monument and Falcon

My camera (and my neck) would tell you otherwise:

There's now 12/20 Mbps fiber-to-the-node internet service in much of the city.

When were those photos taken? Must have been during a last second clearing during or after the graduation, or at some rehearsal. The day of the graduation was extremely heavy fog. I was on my way and Swampy told me not to bother as it was just too thick. I think the Tbirds made one fly by or something but no way was there a show, right?

[COflower]

Charles - No sir, they flew over this year. Not their usual show though...

May 29, 2008:

The Thunderbirds were able to make a single pass over the stadium, roaring in below the clouds as cadets tossed their hats to mark the end of the soggiest graduation since 1992.

(note the article will only be there for a while longer: The Gazette: Air Force Academy

According to my camara settings, I took that photo at 12:56 pm 05/28/2008

I was going to be there at the parking lot too but because of the weather I decided not to go. I had the (dumb) luck of them flying directly over my house after they were done. Oh, I remember it all too well.

EDIT AGAIN: Keep in mind, I am in Briargate so the clouds had pretty much been clearning for a good half hour before I took that shot.

A new museum being built, but won't be open for another year or two.

There's a new Hollywood theater-plex on Interquest Pkwy
There's more talk of a high-speed rail along the I25 corridor
All the SkySox best players got called up to the Rockies and have proceeded to do nothing in 2008

There's now lots of stuff that was just barren land 10 years ago. Lots.
