The city of Colorado Springs announced Feb. 21 that parking meters downtown and in Old Colorado City would accept payment for four hours, rather than two, starting at 6 p.m. The change comes after citizens complained bitterly about the increased charges at most meters and the extension of charges to Sunday and from 6 to 10 p.m. daily. City parking garages charge less.

In the beginning there was beer, and lots of it. In 1997, @thewarehousecos opened in conjunction with Palmer Lake Brewing Company as one of several trendy brewpubs in the area. The brewery has since closed, but we still have several rotating taps and plenty of craft beer for the suds aficionado, however, our focus has changed. With the purchase of the restaurant in 2015 and the re-birth of craft mixology came Stephen! He pushed our palates and knowledge of spirits to a new level, and fundamentally changed The Warehouse bar forever.

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

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.)
