Best of the Springs 2012
Nobody knows a town better than the people who live there. And this year more than 15,000 people shared their wisdom about our city — from the standout actor to the go-to day care centers and the best wine list.
The fact that a record number of voters participated makes this edition, our 18th, ground zero for the best Colorado Springs has to offer.
You’ll find some upsets this year. Still, some old favorites will not be toppled. And there are some new categories added to better reflect what you’ve told us is important.
Our 10 handpicked experts weigh in as well. In Sports and Rec, OutThereColorado.com editor Dena Rosenberry gives you the insider guide to the trails you’ve wondered about but never attempted. In Dining, Food Page Editor Teresa Farney reveals her favorite spot for paella, one of the most difficult dishes in Spanish cuisine to successfully execute. And Around Town reporter Linda Navarro clues you in on the single spot where you can party, see art and choose new bathroom fixtures.
It’s your guide, so make good use of it.
