Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
We recently re-shared a vintage post featuring ten things you need to know before moving to Colorado Springs.
It's the kind of item that tends to inspire those with negative thoughts toward the state's second-largest city.
As such, we figured that the following reader, who identifies himself as being from the Springs, would leap to the community's defense.
Instead, he dishes out a zinger that practically demands a rim shot.

As a resident of Colorado Springs, I find the people in this post to be contributors of misinformation. In reality, Colorado Springs is much worse than you think.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
