re: Not what it used to be

10/14/2021Totally agree. First time I even heard of the Springs, was my time @ Pete Field from '82-84, I was 22, & The first time I seen the sun rise on Pikes Peak continues in my heart to this day, even though I now live in Phoenix.
I came back for a visit last year, & it was so disheartening to see how much it has been trashed. When I was stationed there the population was about 200k, now it's closing in on 500k & that reflection shows in the current appearance of the Springs, & attitude of those who've invaded the area, & brought their "baggage" with them....& it's become like a cancer.
Phoenix has also been "invaded" & the carnage on our roads, our schools, our infrastructure, daily shootings, road ragers, street racers etc... has increased exponentially. However, I will not move to the Springs even with how I feel/felt about it
in the past. We are also researching about moving, & perhaps further north (Wyoming/Montana) in the middle of Gods country. From what I've researched, they don't take too kindly with people moving there & trying to change the lifestyle with liberal hype. Wish ya'll the best.
