The Public Art Commission recommended the city’

The Public Art Commission recommended the city’s first comprehensive public art plan, Public Art COS, to City Council Sept. 15. According to a news release from the city of Colorado Springs, the plan’s strategies are: “Begin boldly and sustain momentum; demonstrate a dedication to public art; encourage and incentivize placemaking by developers; place art throughout the city; promote and foster the local creative economy through public art; create a unified, Olympic-level public art collection; and maintain, preserve and cherish the public art collection.” “We” by Nikki Pike, is part of this year’s Art on the Streets exhibit. #coloradosprings #downtowncos #art #csindy

#ICYMI Our Food and Drink Editor @matthewschniper

#ICYMI Our Food and Drink Editor @matthewschniper spoke with the owner of @kingschefdiner last week and was able to confirm that ... wait for it ... YES, King's Chef is going to return very soon. He directed him to his PR person Joshua Steinfeld, who was only able to say "Yes, the Purple castle is reopening in the near future, details to come early to mid next week." So many questions have we all. But the good news for fans: It's the real thing, expect the King to return. We'll post more information about the return at csindy.com once we have it! #greenchile #breakfastburritos #kingschef #coloradosprings

Billy Bowman’s Southern and seafood restaurant,

Billy Bowman’s Southern and seafood restaurant, Southern Pride, has moved fully to takeout and catering, and that’s cool by us, because two sandwich plates give us plenty to talk about. First, the hot link sandwich plate: The bun’s nothing spectacular, but the split, griddled sausage has a spiciness best described as blunt. It doesn’t sting, it doesn’t creep on — it hits like a hammer. Read more at csindy.com. #hotlinks #sausage #foodies #coloradosprings #csindy

Ten years ago, Woodmen Valley Chapel’s Center fo

Ten years ago, Woodmen Valley Chapel’s Center for Strategic Ministry LLC took over operations at Westside Community Center as a “stopgap” measure when the city was in an economic nosedive. After three renewals, the church’s current contract ends within the year. Chennan Clubine, above, and four others, all part of the center’s community garden group, met Aug. 31 about the upcoming potential changes to Westside Community Center’s operations. They are worried the city could consider developing the property into the “next Ivywild [School]” or apartments if a new operations partner is not found. The city is accepting requests for information from interested partners through Sept. 15. The gardening group started a petition that has gathered over 1,200 signatures in support of keeping WCC a community center. Stu Davis, president of the philanthropic arm of Woodmen Valley Chapel, says they want an organization that’s better equipped to run a community center than their church. Davis says, “I would be really surprised if the city had any interest in privatizing that investment.” He says Woodmen is committed to seeing their contract through and ensuring a smooth transition. “We’re not interested in dropping the keys at the curb and wishing the neighborhood well.” Photo by @lj.dawson.

Given how COVID has caused Gold Camp to expand its seating to include a parking lot patio that’s directly adjacent to where food trucks show up, it makes for a pretty chill vibe. We pick up a crowler of peach tea ale to go, on recommendation from the customers in front of us. It’s made with peach tea bags, we’re told, which explains the artificiality of the peach flavor and aroma — not a full-on Peach Ring situation, but it isn’t Palisade fresh.

This stylish Southeast spot @vivalavidasnax with cool murals and poppin’ colors everywhere opened a couple months ago and stands out for its super-non-gringo savory snack and dessert menu; there’s so many items our food and drink editor @matthewschniper doesn't recognize and would love to return to try. But for this first foray, he nabs two paletas (popsicles), a chocolate-coated coconut and cucumber-chamoy. Read what he thought at csindy.com. #southeastcoloradosprings #csindy #snacks #dessert

This year marked the 44th annual Labor Day Lift Of

This year marked the 44th annual Labor Day Lift Off, which traditionally takes place in Memorial Park, and features dozens of hot air balloons taking flight during the early morning hours throughout Labor Day weekend. Due to COVID-19, this year’s Labor Day Lift Off was modified for the safety of spectators and participants. Instead of taking place in Memorial Park, the lift off was spread among 10 separate launch sites across Colorado Springs, including in Deerfield Hills Park, above. Take any photos of the balloons? Submit them at csindy.com/photos to be featured as a Photo of the Day in our new Indy Now email blast.

Activists and alumni spoke at the Cheyenne Mountai

Activists and alumni spoke at the Cheyenne Mountain District 12 Board of Education meeting Aug. 31, expressing the importance of changing Cheyenne Mountain High School’s mascot, the “Indian.” A petition in favor of changing the mascot gathered more than 5,000 signatures, and multiple tribal representatives submitted letters requesting CMHS stop using offensive Native American iconography. The Board of Education agreed that they will consider the issue and put it to a vote, potentially in October.

The Chinook Center, a nonprofit community organiza

The Chinook Center, a nonprofit community organization that provides food assistance and other services to residents of southeast Colorado Springs, held its open house on Aug. 19 at its new space at Airport Road and South Circle Drive. “We’ve been in this space for almost a month trying to get it ready, and tonight I think what really clicked is that what’s been missing has been the community,” says board member Sam Christiansen. “Having it filled with people, even if we’re having to keep our distance, it just feels like it has come together. People are sitting down and spontaneously working on events and organizing and it feels good. It feels like a nice community, which is what we’re hoping for.” The new space will be used as a community hub and to host the Chinook Center’s own programming. Christiansen says, “Every Sunday we’ll do a ‘people’s grocery’ distribution from this location, starting the first Sunday in September. We already have groups that are reserving time to use the conference room. We already have some trainings scheduled, so we just kind of keep doing what we’re doing.”

Wyeline isn’t so much a new thing as it’s the rebranded Blank coffee/food now fully titled Wyeline cocktails/coffee/food. The name pays homage to the historic roundhouse location, where wye lines — three rail lines meeting a switch — lay buried under the floorboards. A slick overhaul accompanies the refresh, including a front patio area, added entryway seating and a rebuilt/relocated coffee counter/bar. Read more at csindy.com. #csindy #coloradosprings #wyeline
