🥪 Step Up to the Big Leagues at Colonel Mustard’s Sandwich Emporium

⚾ An Ode to Baseball and Family Bonds

Step up to the plate at 1412 S. 21st Street in Colorado Springs, where Karrie and Mark have created a culinary home run with Colonel Mustard’s Sandwich Emporium. Inspired by countless days at the ballpark and its classic fare, they’ve transformed their love of the staple ballpark condiment mustard into an imaginative eatery.

This delightful shop defies first impressions. Its whimsical name conjures images of a popular board game character, but actually originates from Karrie’s father, a retired military colonel. The name pays homage to her father and the special bond they share.

Inside, warm and welcoming staff like Shelly add a fun touch with the Sandwich Wheel, letting fate decide your menu options when you can't choose between the mouthwatering lineup of sandwiches.

Mustard is the MVP ingredient here, elevated in sandwiches, sauces, marinades, their signature ice cream and more. Karrie and Mark have more than 150 mustards from around the world to either sample or purchase. Gift baskets are also available.

Beyond the menu, Colonel Mustard’s champions community, hosting charity cribbage nights and becoming a hub for events. They welcome all to join their family of regulars, new friends and familiar faces.

🚒 Wildfires Ease Near Military Bases 

UPDATE on wildfires: containment efforts have shown progress thanks to favorable weather conditions. Cooler temperatures and slight moisture aided firefighters in tamping down the flames, with the Air Force Academy announcing its re-opening to the public today, excluding hiking trails.

The West Monument Creek fire, which scorched approximately 168 acres, reached 75% containment. Despite ongoing investigations into the fire's cause, officials remain optimistic about containment efforts.

Meanwhile, at Fort Carson, a fire south and west of Fountain, now confirmed to have burned 700 acres is fully contained. A separate 100-acre fire emerged nearby, with containment efforts ongoing, having burned approximately 2,700 acres. No structures or personnel are threatened, with investigations into the fires ongoing.

💸 Costly Climate: Home Insurance Hikes 

Homeowner's insurance rates are surging in Colorado Springs due to nationwide inflation and increased weather-related risks, such as hail and wildfires. Consumers and insurance companies alike are feeling the strain, with rising premiums reflecting the costly repairs necessitated by extreme weather events. Strategies to mitigate costs include wildfire mitigation efforts and avoiding minor claims.
