So, I was given this blank postcard at my job and the instructions were to write/draw or collage my thoughts on how to make Colorado Springs an awesome and amazing place to live. [Anonymity is ok] Then I have to drop the postcard in the mail and 'kiss it goodbye' because once dropped, you have no legal claim to it.
The organizers of this movement even paid the postage.
The purpose of the “How could Colorado Springs rock?” postcard campaign is to elevate the voices of the community, share great ideas, and inspire people to act. The postcards are intended to be catalysts for creativity, dialogue, passion, and leadership. Submit a postcard that describes your ideas on how to build a vibrant city center, one that elicits pride and passion. (Info taken from the website)
So, here I am extending this invitation to all of you (yes, YOU, whoever you are!) Share your thoughts if you ROCK, how could Colorado Springs ROCK? You can even check out other postcards at www.icoloradosprings.org

ReplyDeleteWell, these are just a few suggestions from my close friends and co-workers:
ReplyDeleteColorado Springs needs a better, more efficient transportation system like the one we have in Denver.
We would greatly benefit from some diversity when it comes to Hispanic food. There's nothing wrong with a little Mexican food, but that's not the only Hispanic food. I would LOVE to see a Puertorrican, Dominican or Cuban restaurant with some (un-spicy) flavor, some real Caribbean flavor.
Some of my good friends also suggested a Night Club other that the one and only, Latin Quarters, again there's nothing wrong about it, we just want diversity.
I would also like to see more FREE art venues and concerts... with some reknown names (ya know). How about a nice Spanish radio station with some salsa, merengue, and bachata? Not bad, huh?
My biggest concern right now is the high volume of homeless people on 8th Street and all the homeles tents along the I-25, we really need to take better care of our homeless brothers and sisters in CO.
Anyways, this is all for now folks!
