Go to Garden of the Gods and spend a half day there. You'll thank me for it. Other than that, don't know much about the area but plenty of stuff is within driving distance.

Here you go.

Yeah, I knew it would be slim pickings down in C. Springs, but heading up to Denver isn't really a viable option, since I'm not getting a car, just cabbing it around. Was hoping someone could point me to a nice wine bar or a good sports bar to watch the Monday night game or something. Oh well, I'll figure something out.

Re: Colorado Springs?

I don't really frequent the Springs all that much. A quick Google search turned up some listings:
