From the mountains, mesas and canyons of the Weste

From the mountains, mesas and canyons of the Western Slope to the sprawling prairies of the Eastern Plains, Colorado offers boundless opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors. But climate change has made many of the state’s natural attractions increasingly vulnerable, and the businesses, agencies and nonprofit organizations that rely upon and support them will need to adjust. Pick up today's Indy to read more or visit csindy.com. #climatechange #outdoorrecreation #colorado

Throughout prohibition #moonshiners used the plentiful beet sugar, Colorado’s cash crop, in distilling a unique shine often referred to as “sugar moon." @3hundreddaysofshine is a handcrafted Colorado #moonshine produced in small batch recipes by hand, bringing together the time-honored traditions of old with the technologies of today. They provide a Western American moonshine experience you will remember for its full flavor and easy drinking.

A group of seven Russian filmmakers visited Pueb

A group of seven Russian filmmakers visited Pueblo — courtesy of the Colorado Springs World Affairs Council’s International Visitor Program — to learn more about the Steel City’s independent film industry and the fledgling commission that is guiding its growth. The delegates were hand-picked by the U.S. embassy to participate in the nationwide tour of film-centric communities, says program manager Jamie Bequette. Their itinerary took them to Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, and after visiting the Front Range, they will head to San Francisco and New York City.

Sure, “baby” and “Honey” are nice and all,

Sure, “baby” and “Honey” are nice and all, but you and your love should have your own disgustingly schmoopy, cloyingly sweet names for each other. Play this game of Love Libs to figure out your own! Directions: Find the words below that correspond to your birth month, first initial and last initial, and add “My” to the front of it. Voila Insta-endearment. (Note: The Indy cannot be held responsible if your pet name ends up sounding like a dirty euphamism. Blame the fates.)

It’s a month after Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar’s Colorado Springs opening and the big bosses are still in town. I see chef and Founder Dave Query expediting the kitchen on a bustling Friday night, then Executive Chef Sheila Lucero working the line with their local chef de cuisine and sous chef and their team the following night. Despite having a multitude of other eateries to oversee, they are here to ensure Jax’s launch goes smoothly. And, because “We don’t see ourselves as a big fish in a small pond; we work twice as hard to gain our cred. We’ve got proving to do.” Read more at csindy.com.

Ahead of the February 14 opening day, our Food & D

Ahead of the February 14 opening day, our Food & Drink Editor @matthewschniper took an interior tour on February 6 at the still-in-construction North Side Social with Altitude Hospitality Group Founder Mitch Yellen. The entrepreneur feels so confident about the potential for pickleball in particular, as the fastest growing sport in the U.S., that's he's also underway with two locations of another concept called Pickle Republic; one in Lone Tree, another in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He calls them "a country club for people who don’t belong to country club." Read more at csindy.com.

The venison burger at @slingers_smokehouse_and_sal

The venison burger at @slingers_smokehouse_and_saloon, is delicate but its gaminess presents a killer flavor combo with smoky-sweet-rich onion-bacon jam, which makes for a cleaner finish to each bite than the meat would on its own. Read more at csindy.com. #burgers #barbecue #lookssoyummy😋

Ivan Torres retired from professional baseball in

Ivan Torres retired from professional baseball in Mexico and from the L.A. Dodgers’ minor league affiliate at age 25 with a back injury from his years as a catcher. But something better came out of that experience than making it to the major leagues: He met his future wife Maria Silva while playing in Venezuela. Ivan’s now 35 and Maria 34, and they’re super cute around their restaurant, El Taco y La Arepa, in the former Havana Grill space. They humorously defer to each other when we first ask who’s the boss, and a note in Spanish atop their menu shares how they’ve come together romantically and culturally to fuse the tastes of Mexico and Venezuela here.
