Vaqueros Mexican Restaurant & Taqueria, located in northern Springs, deserves attention. The food, served in its deep red, beautifully decorated dining room, rocks.

Nayda Benitez is the regional organizer for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, advocating for immigrant communities throughout #southernColorado. A few years ago, Benitez received temporary protection from deportation through #DACA, after proving she met a long list of requirements for acceptance into the program. But despite having lived in the #US since the age of 7 — when she, along with her parents and two younger siblings, crossed the #Mexicanborder without documentation — Benitez could eventually be deported if the #SupremeCourt rules in favor of the #Trumpadministration.

#Artist Byeong Doo Moon traveled all the way from #SouthKorea to repair his beloved #sculpture “I Have Been Dreaming to Be a Tree.” The iconic #stag, which was vandalized in September, is part of the city’s permanent collection of public art. Authorities suspected someone had attempted to climb the deer’s antlers, thereby damaging one, which was later removed. Through an interpreter, Moon said that he was hurt by the vandalism, but by repairing the sculpture he hopes to heal the wounds it caused. The sculpture returned to its home at the intersection of Colorado and Cascade avenues on Nov. 1. #downtowncoloradosprings #art
