Dr. Doolittle, aside from having a neat name, has a good practice. The office is typically quite punctual and runs smoothly and efficiently. The facility is clean and looks nice.
The hygienists are good, and the doctor is friendly.
However, as I have never had a cavity or any other oral hygiene problems, I can't say much about their more involved procedures...I've never had one!
On another note: It's annoying that they don't own the parking lot next to the building, so you have to park on the street.

I've visited this church 4 times...and it has really surprised me. It meets in what used to be a small movie theater. The concession stand area has been converted into their information booth and coffee/drink bar. The different theaters have been converted into the various child care and kids program areas, as well as the sanctuary.
The music at this church, mostly written by the lead guy, Richie Fike, is somewhat different in character than we are used to hearing. It tends to admit human error and ask for God to reveal himself and guide us. It's different from the "praise forever and ever" that is the only focus of a lot of music anymore.
But the cool thing at this church is the Pastor. He speaks with clarity and a keen analysis of difficult passages, but he doesn't have a tone of omniscience. It's all an interpretation. And he does a good job of treading any poltical lines lightly.
Check it out.

I've spent the past few months going to New Life Church because my family goes there. I'm used to big churches, and my church where I go to college has the same kind of "big" production feel, especially with the music.
If you like big, professional looking churches with a huge community, New Life is good. They also have several service times to choose from.
However...I've noticed that Ted Haggard, the Senior Pastor, rarely quotes the Gospels. It's a Christian church and I think I recall only a couple references to the New Testament in the past several months. Everything is out of Exodus. Why? It appears to be mostly political...God gives the Israelites lots of authority to go around destroying the idol-worshipping nations in the promised land. How convenient.
Anyway...I'm not debunking the faith of the church...I'm just saying people might get the wrong impression of Christ's message since it's not highlighted above all the political mish-mash.

This restaurant is family owned and operated. The food is terrific and always served very quickly. And the price is extremely reasonable for the amount of food you get (you can easily eat your fill and still take some home).
The decor is nice, the place is clean. The service is friendly and thorough. And it's usually not crowded at all, so it's quiet and peaceful.
And they even do take-out, just call ahead and it's ready fast!

For those of you who want to get college credit and roll through your first year of classes at college, forget AP classes and private school. The IB program at Palmer trains you to be a hard-working, motivated student, with competent abilites in ALL subjects. Plus, IB projects outside regular classes provide an opportunity to pursue some personal interest areas. While IB had some difficulty with recognition for years, most colleges now understand what the program demands and how it differs from AP.
And the best part of all this is that Palmer is a public school...meaning it's free! (The IB tests, numbering 6 and administered at the end of the junior or senior year, cost a fair chunk of change ~$700 total.

Although this store does not carry a wide variety of game types (see Compleat Games & Hobbies for that), it specializes in table-top wargames and has the largest supply/variety of miniatures specific to those games. For me, it's Warhammer.
The advantage of a specialized store like this is that they have a relatively large amount of tables for people to play games. Thus, the store is able to host tournaments. These are a lot of fun and provide a nice goal (or deadline) for people to get their armies assembled and painted. Also they have wekly games nights for the different games. Contact them and get involved!

This store carries a LOT of different hobby items. The name is very appropriate, you can go in there to get anything from puzzles to model car kits to board games and card games to brain teasers to "nerd" t-shirts to miniatures and table-top wargame supplies to RPG sourcebooks to all the monthly magazines that support all these games.
The staff is knowledgeable and helpful in recommending the parts to suit your needs.
Unfortunately, a downside of the "jack-of-all-trades" nature of this store is that it's crowded, and doesn't have very many tables for game playing. For a table-top wargamer it is difficult to really play a game in the limited space shared with other gamers.

The zoo has all the animals you'd expect to see and several ones that you wouldn't! Rhinos, hippos, giraffes, bears, elephants, birds, reptiles, snakes, monkeys, gorillas... The exhibits are neat. I especially like the monkey house (though it smells pretty bad...).
It's built on a mountain, so a lot of the walking is up and down rather steep inclines or stairs. Good exercise right? Go a couple times a year to keep up with the new exhibits.
And the view of the Colorado Springs is quite nice from way up there. Fresh air :) ...(except in the monkey house ;)

I took in a '95 VW Passat for a wheel alignment and because my check engine light came on. I left the car there.
After several hours they call and say "this is going to take longer, we didn't realize the car computer was different for this model year and earlier." So they run around trying to find the right device to read the error code from the engine. They fail to find what the code is. They also can't do the tire alignment because they discovered a rather major problem with the steering rack and pinion. I tell them I don't have time for them to fix it as I need to drive somewhere the next day. They stil charge me for an alignment check and for diagnostic time...net service to me: virtually nothing, other than "hey, you need to replace your steering rack."
At least their garage is kept clean and tidy.

He's one guy running his garage, but he definitely knows his stuff, especially for older model VWs that the dealerships have forgotten how to work on.
Dad has a '77 Transporter (bus/van) that had a failing transmission/clutch. Other places estimated taking the whole transmission out (which requires dropping the engine out) and doing a ton of labor. Volkstech looks at it and says hey, this bearing/joint is the problem, I can fix that pretty easy. So he did, for $150. Van drives great again.
The main problem is that he goes on vacation, a LOT. If yo have a sudden repair need, don't count on him being there. But if it's non-urgent, he'll get to you within a week.
