Re: “Lucy & Louise Atelier”
From the moment my husband and I entered Lucy & Louise Paint the Town, we knew we were going to have a unique and fun date night! The atmosphere was welcoming with bright, festive decor while upbeat music played in the background. We settled-in with a set of brushes, an apron tied on, a glass of sparkling lemonade and a blank canvas resting on an easel. Bev, the owner/artist of Lucy & Louise Paint the Town, led us through a series of steps to create the featured painting, which was a Christmas tree for our class (or we could choose to paint whatever our hearts desired). As we painted the night away, we were entertained by Bev's southern charm, funny stories and encouragement that we would see our own individual creativity blossom on the canvas. When our artwork needed to dry, we enjoyed a break to shop at Lucy & Louise Atelier and mingle with the other painters. By the end of the night, we gathered for a group photo with our whimsical paintings, new friends and fun memories captured forever. We highly recommend this new, inspiring experience for a date night, girls-night-out, or just a treat for your own soul! Once you try it, you'll soon be Painting the Town along with us and starting a collection of masterpieces!

Re: “Pale Horse Bar and Lounge”
Very cool new place, used to be the old tex-mex bar, but the new owners cleaned and polished it up and now its just a really cool neighborhood bar. Nice liquor selection and a really chill place. Not much on tap, but the bottle beer was abundant. Karaoke on a Monday Night was packed (probably because of the contest) Highly recommend this place

Re: “Strawberry Fields Alternative Health and Wellness”
I'm a member of SF and really appreciate that all of their strains are the same low price. Being on disability, I am able to get great medicine and not have to worry if I have the 3-5 extra bucks for "something better". I have so many favorites at SF, and I don't feel limited due to my income.
I have visited a dozen other MMJ dispensaries in the area and have proven time and time again, that overall, SF is the place for me. I always feel safe, secure and they are always on top of their game when it comes to the legal side of MMJ.
The thing that I respect the most about SF is that their prices, quality, and patient care speaks for itself. They don't rely on 'free pre-rolls' filled with - 'God only knows what.....' to market themselves. There's no big blow up "weed-guy" waving around in the wind as if to say, "look at me"!
I foresee a wonderful future for not only SF, but for it's members and patients. From one MMJ patient to another, at least give 'em a try- do it for yourself!

Re: “Green Earth Wellness Center”
I moved to Denver from the Springs a couple months ago, but I still go to the Springs for certain things I haven't found in Denver. Some people might think it's odd, but I really like my mechanics and Green Earth Wellness. I'll focus on Green Earth Wellness; I know you don't care where I get my truck worked on. You might be interested in a dispensary that I am willing to drive an hour each way for. The quality of people, service, and excellent products have yet to be matched by any of the dispensaries I've been to in Denver. Querkle, Bubbleberry Green Crack, Super Silver Haze, and Headband were just a select few of their robust selection that I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know a little better. Every time I turned around in the shop, I saw some new stash of edibles; gelato, cheesecake, soda, chocolate, hard candy... it would get ridiculous if I kept going. The best selection I've seen, and I've been in nine or ten dispensaries in the past two weeks, if that says anything. So, I drive, but it's worth it.

Best bubble tea in town! Friendly service and it's great place to bring your laptop to get some homework done or sit around and talk with friends.

Re: “Bargain Book Warehouse”
Fantastic prices, especially kids books.
I get five to ten books here for the price of one at other used bookstores.

Re: “The Coffee Exchange”
Absolutely the best place for spicy Organic Fair Trade Chai downtown. They are one of a handful of places in Colorado Springs serving Boulder's freshly made Bhakti Chai and they do it right. When Tony say it's guaranteed to put fire in your belly, believe him. Their Chai keeps me going all through the afternoon.

Re: “Bijou Wellness Center”
Make that unanimous! From calling them to walking out the door with a big dumb happy grin on my face, they treated me like I was their only customer and they were quite busy at the time. Great selection of items. Excellent quality. A 100% positive experience. 5-Star. I don't need to go anywhere else, this is how I like to do business.

Re: “Garden of the Gods Gourmet”
I'm a big fan of Garden of the Gods Gourmet. Love their take-home soups, breads, and Curry Chicken Salad. I recently tried their "Dinner with the Chef" and had a wonderful evening enjoying food prepared in the kitchen by Chef Larissa. The food was wonderful and the price was very reasonable. You have to make reservations in advance, but I would highly recommend it to others.

Re: “Gasoline Alley”
The girls who work there do not practice identity theft. The employees are just practicing the rules that the owners put in effect. They take your license when you open a tab 1. as more of a safeguard that you will not walk out on your tab. And 2. so they know its you using your card! They write down your ID number and state of issue when you close out to prove that they were diligent and assured that it was the owner of the card making purchases, and to cover their backs so, if a customer has a few too many drinks and disputes the bill the next day/days later, they have proof that they did indeed make the purchase. You should be happy that they go to such lengths to PROTECT you from identity theft.
Aside from that, its a great and entertaining place! Always a good time!
