Moving to Colorado Springs...soon

9/11/2011
Hello everyone.
Here's what's going on with us:
I graduated high school in Fort Collins, CO (too many years ago to say), but only lived there for a short time.
Two months after graduating, I married my high school sweetheart and we relocated to Las Vegas and have lived here pretty much since. (and still married )
As a union Ironworker, my husband had a great job here many years. Then, as I'm sure you can feel our pain, along came the economy crash and construction here in Vegas ended.
Too young to retire, my husband has struggled along here, trying to find work. So we have finally decided to cut our losses and get out.
We decided, why not live someplace with a little more green and a lot more beauty, right? We decided on Colorado!
With family still there (Ft Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Denver and Co Springs) we're really looking forward to the move. But after giving it a lot of thought, our first choice is Co Springs.
Which brings me to this regarding Co Springs:
My husband has renewed his CDL and hopes being closer to Denver will give him more opportunity to get a local driving job. So if anyone has some information of the best places to job hunt in Colorado Springs, please share.
As for me, I do customer service work for a national company from home, so I have a job anywhere I go.
We plan to rent for a little while until we decide the best area to settle. So if you don't mind sharing, what areas of town should we avoid when looking for a place to rent?
We're getting excited about our move and looking forward to getting on the road in the next couple of months.
Any info about the area and/or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
