I used to live in Colorado Springs, and worked at Olive Garden, the tips was reall good, and it was a relaxed atmosphere, beware of those on line get rich quick opinion polls, they only ask for registration fees
2 :
Try Carrabba's Italian Grill. A little better than Olive Garden.

There are several survey sites that are legit, your not going to get rich doing them though. Do not give anyone your SSN there are lots of sites out there that are legit and they do not need this info from you. Nor do you have to pay to join. I am a member of several. I have done survey savy which has a great referral program if you know people who will join you get money for surveys they complete also. I have also tried American Consumer Opinion. They pay by check in mail for all surveys, but I have not been able to complete many of their surveys. Pinecone is also great. You have to have an invitation to join though. They send one or two surveys a month. They are great though cause you will have a few days or a week to answer the survey if you don't check your email religiously. Then they send a check in the mail pronto. Surveyspot has tons of really short surveys most of which you only get an entry into a drawing. However they do have many paid surveys also. You can just go to their site everyday and answer surveys you don't have to wait for them to be emailed to you. They do some previewing of tv commercials and tv shows. I have done a couple tv shows which involved watching an hour long program (45 minutes without commercials) and answering some questions about it - with payment of $20 so that was nice. Most pay a few dollars per survey completed so it is best to use several. You also need to be a regular email checker because if you don't respond to the survey fast enough they have met their quota. I save the money til the end of year to help with xmas expenses. If you would like to give me a referral credit use the link in my profile for survey savvy and the other sites I use are listed there as well. Good Luck!

About What are some nice communities around Colorado Springs

What are some nice communities around Colorado Springs?
My family and I want to move to Colorado Springs, and I was wondering what are any suburb towns around that area that are close enough to drive into the city for work and that may be a little less expensive to live in, I am not really used to driving in snow so I don't want to live too far outside of town, or on any bad mountain roads. Also what are the areas of Colorado Springs that are nicer to live in and visit. I am moving from a town that has a pretty high crime rate so I am kind of tired of dealing with scumbags (at least in high numbers) thanks for any help. also we are looking into apartments for the first couple of months of living there, so what are some nice apartments that allow dogs over 40 lbs. and that are around the 700 or less price range. in a good area.

Except for downtown ,Colorado springs is mostly all suburbs, it sprawls out. Search Colorado Springs on Google Maps and you'll see what I mean. The area is mostly pretty flat, no mtn. roads unless you go west of the interstate. You already got answers about the winters on a previous ?
2 :
East of Powers Blvd. (one of the main "drags") is FULL of new homes, generally on the less expensive side. There really aren't any surrounding areas, as most of the surrounding areas are STILL Colorado Springs. Fountain/Security is quite a bit less expensive than living in the Springs, but that wouldn't be my first choice for a neighborhood (older, slightly higher crime rate). We rarely get so much snow that it is difficult to drive in. Getting out of your neighborhood is generally the most difficult! The climate is mild, very dry and with an altitude of 6,000 feet + takes some getting used to at first. Get a good real estate agent, visit for longer than a couple of days and get a feel for the different neighborhoods here. There is a HUGE variety, from downtown to Manitou Springs to "out east". Good luck!
3 :
I guess it depends on why you are moving here. Fountain is less expensive and parts of it are nice but parts really aren't. The old North end of town, near UCCS, is inexpensive with good interstate access. If you live on the new north side you will spend hours in traffic!
4 :
There are none. I am from COS and there isn't enough water to go around for us that are here. Please stay where you are at. The neighborhoods in COS are all not good, because you will be taking up some of my badly needed water.
5 :
I don't mean to discourage you but ... Get yourself a map of C Springs and follow these instructions: Do not buy or rent beyond the area enclosed by these streets: East of Circle Drive West of I-25 South of Platte Avenue North is pretty much open. Now, there are pockets of nice neighborhoods outside this square but you have to do some research. Many new developments have become instant slums, esp. to the east and south of the city. Interesting, I don't know HOW you're going to avoid hills during the winter. The entire city is hills, bluffs, and mesas. Snow is actually pretty rare here, but when we get it, we generally get WACKED. Other than dealing with people and the traffic and the cone-zones, you have to watch for the areas that are susceptible to flash flooding, landslides, or coal mine collapse. Water availability is dicey, we just got off water restrictions (we are high desert) that should have continued through the next five summers. Our city council and utilities are a flaky bunch where that's concerned. Well, heck, they're flaky with EVERY concern. Get online to the Independent and read some of the back issues, it'll give you a fair idea of the attitudes of the sane people that live here. They've toned down from their "shake everything up" beginnings tho': http://www.csindy.com/csindy/current/ Also the Citizen's Project: http://www.citizensproject.org/ I'd give you the link to the city daily, The Gazette. But they're quite the conservative rag. The joke is they're owned by Focus on the Family. Real Estate, whether you're buying or renting, is prohibitively expensive. We have one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country. Jobs are generally low paying. Our saying is "YOU pay for the view." Speaking for myself, I live in the foothills and come down into C Springs as little a humanly possible. But that'd be same no matter where I lived.

First, congrats to moving one of the most beautiful cities in U.S. Colorado Springs was nominated as #1 city with mid-size city about 3 years ago... If you prefer new town with medium to high income area, the 1st choice would be Wolf Ranch. It is located to next to the Peterson Air force base, and I've heard lots of military family is finding home there.. It's pretty new town, so very clean and nice house and of course low crime area. Especially family with no kids prefer mid size house that could range from 200k. Above that area, there is still developing area called Cordera where a brand new house of famous builder such as Keller and Classic homes are being located. If you want a bit settled and bigger house (not always necessary but they do have choices), then definitely go up to Pine Creek area. The zip code is 80920. But all of above areas are within Academy School District 20, which has great school system in the town. For the school list of District 20, go to www.asd20.org. Good luck!
2 :
There aren't necessarily "bad" neighborhoods in Colorado Springs, just different. Ages of homes range from over 100 years to brand new. On the north end of town (above Woodmen Rd), you'll generally find newer homes, in school district 20 which is very well regarded. The east side of town (east of Powers Blvd.) is generally newer, the neighborhoods are packed in tighter, but has great accessibility to shops and restaurants. Pine Creek is very nice, but more expensive than other neighborhoods surrounding it. It also has a very strict homeowners association which many of my friends find borderline offensive. School District 20 is the way to go. District 11 is the largest, but is having many funding problems currently and District 49 (in the east area of town) is not as well regarded. Good luck in your move! It's a beautiful place to live.

About Is Colorado Springs a good place to raise a family

Is Colorado Springs a good place to raise a family?
I live in the Chicago area and I am sick of the scene.It's loud,expensive and crime ridden. I want to move to a place where I can raise my family in a decent area and afford it. I am in love with Colorado Springs, However I wanted to hear from current or former residents as to how it really is. I would be able to transfer my job, my husband would have to find new work. He is in security management as well as great with computers.Any thoughts?

I lived in the Springs for seven years. Colorado Springs is ultra-conservative. It has MANY military families because of Petersen AFB and Fort Carson. It is home to Focus on the Family and many other Christian ministries. It is approximately 80-85% Republican. If that's your cup of tea, then you'll love it. If you're a Democrat, you'll hate it. If you want a similar sort of place that's more balanced, go for Denver; if you want a place that's heavily Democratic, go to Boulder. Fort Collins, north of Denver, is a very nice place to live; it's a university town, and also tends toward the middle of the road, politically speaking. Pueblo is 2000 feet lower in elevation, and has a large and active Hispanic population. Most of the tech jobs are in Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins. Most of the jobs in Colorado Springs center around the military; many require a security clearance, and many others simply aren't available to civilians.

it is definetly a millitary area. I think it depends where you want to live in colorado springs. If you want to live up in the little gated communities, i'ts great. If you want to live where the houses aren't the sizes of 11 football feilds, then it probably isn't that great because there are alot of gangs here. (they just kind of stay in their own areas) BUT one thing I do like about colorado springs is that their school systems are pretty good. and if you are a middle class family, you could probably survive here. good luck!
