The base is on the south side of Colo Springs and from downtown south the price of homes is cheaper than on the north side of town. The crime is a bit bigger of a problem on the south side, too, although bad things can theoretically happen about anywhere. However, the south side is more suited to the income of young military members. It is always a trade-off.

And good, even great, things can happen about anywhere too, as in this case, a neighborhood in need of justice, gets some help from a great prepared neighbor soldier.

When I was there ('97-'99), the area around B Street was the only place that was economical, hence many ne'er-do-wells lived in that area. Just outside of the north side of post, homes were selling in the $300,000 range. Heck, I lived at Cheyenne Crossing Apartments and it took all my BAQ and some out of my pocket.

Just think- there I was, at the base of Cheyenne Mountain, and never once did I see a Ja'affa, or an alien spaceship...
