The Future of Colorado Springs: Development, Safety & Identity (Roundtable)

We are settling the debate on the true identity of Colorado Springs. In this special roundtable episode, we sit down with Celebrity Chef Brother Luck and Chelsea Gondeck (Interim CEO, Downtown Partnership) for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the future of our city.

From the controversial "North vs. South" rivalry to the harsh realities of safety in the downtown corridor, nothing was off-limits. We discuss why Colorado Springs refuses to be "Denver’s Little Sister," the struggle businesses face Sunday through Thursday, and whether our city is ready to be truly world-class.
