Colorado Springs seemed, upon my first visit here, a magical place. And it is. It is also a city, with crime. I don't think the crime rate is all that bad here, but there is still a night-long flight by what I think is a police helicopter, every night, searching for bad guys. So, either the cops here do a really good job, or crime isn't that big a problem. One thing I will say about crime, is that there seem to be a lot of homeless people here. Either they are just more visible, or I need to spend more time in cities. They might ask for some money, and leave it at that, but there have been a few incidents where they have attacked people, even in broad daylight, on a public path (Monument Creek Trail). That's few and far between.

When driving around the city, watch out for school zones. The speed limit is 25 mph in these areas, and you really don't want to exceed that, if not for the kids' safety, than for the fact that the cops love these areas, because not only are you breaking the speed limit, but it's in a school zone, so they probably get to give you a bigger ticket. Anyway, seriously, go slow in these areas. Other than that, I haven't seen too many undercover cars. I haven't driven that much there either, so I'm sure they exist. They do, however, have a huge mosquito of a helicopter which buzzes annoyingly about the city. The few police I've come in contact with were nice, decent guys.

John, the Three Thieves Restaurant is the best steakhouse in town IMHO. Check it out the next time you're there. And in Denver, check out Casa Bonita. | blue_sky04 Thu Jun 28, 2007 01:32 UTC
