Owners Patti Brunk & Nikki Scott in their kitchen at Bramble & Brie

A Feast for the Eyes and Palette in Charcuterie Bliss

The psychology of eating is balanced as a feast for the eyes and the palette. With the structure of charcuterie, it is a progression of mixing the right tastes: the tart with the sweet, the sugary with the salty. Combining this journey of the senses through house-made jams, crackers and local pastries creates a concert of flair that is the cornerstone of Bramble & Brie Charcuterie Co., launched last year by co-owners Niki Scott and Patti Brunk.

Students Get Life Lessons in Debt, Credit and Financial Literacy

When I graduated from college in 2010, I walked away owing nothing. In fact, I was paid to go to college, courtesy of the United States Air Force. I chose this path because growing up it was emphasized that debt could cripple you, so stay out of it unless you're buying a house.

Lingering Shapes Inform the Human Factor with Colorado Springs Artist

Art is a matter of perspective but also environment. The allure of big city life versus the open space of nature plays a part. Louis Rodriguez, who recently had a show at Modbo, understands the balance but also uses color and landscapes to paint a feeling. Now with inspiration around him in Colorado Springs, he travels his next path.

Camping utopia. It’s next to I-25 between Castle Rock and Monument, where tiered rows of RVs greet passing traffic in Colorado’s very own Jellystone Park™. Over 500 cabins and tent and RV sites surround not-your-dad’s-campground amenities like a waterpark, yoga lawn and on-site gem mining.

How Affordable is Colorado?

In November 2007, my husband and I purchased our first home in Colorado Springs for $142,000. It was a quaint, 930 sq. ft. house in the downtown area that needed a bit of remodeling, but nothing too extensive.

Creating a Bigger Community Through Beer at Red Leg Brewing

A brewery is not just about the beer but a sense of community, a sense of purpose. From the moment Red Leg Brewing Company owner Todd Baldwin opened his doors at his Forge Road location in Colorado Springs, he had a plan. A plan is important but as a business grows, the idea grows. Now moving into his next venture, which will encompass the opening of a massive new facility adjacent to Garden of the Gods, Baldwin sees a continued path.

He, Her, They: A Look at Colorado’s New Gender Discrimination Law

On May 20, House Bill 21-1108, "Gender Identity Expression Anti-discrimination," also known as the Equality Act, was signed into law. When it goes into effect on Aug. 18, 2021, Colorado will join more than 20 states protecting "gender expression" and "gender identity." Sounds innocuous, right?
