Graduated in 1984, moved that summer. 18 months later the organization I
was with went belly up and I moved back to Michigan where I studied at a
community college until sufficiently educated to get a real job instead of
flipping burgers at the Golden Armpits.
Bought an OM-2S and the rest is history.
What I really appreciated about Colorado Springs is that in the wintertime
the sun actually shines. Yes, you get snow, but those are "events", whereas
in western Michigan it can snow every day (if not non-stop) for days or
weeks at a time.
What is such a hoot about the Springs is that it has grown up so much in the
past 25 years that what used to be "beyond the sticks" is now deep in town.
I was there for only two weeks when I was sent on an errand to the old
downtown. It wasn't all that far from where I was at--maybe three minutes
away if you caught the lights right. Half an hour later I still couldn't
find it. The buildings there were all newer than the ones in my home town.
It was "touristy", but again, that wasn't much of a help since I grew up in
a tourist town.
