🎤 Where Did Boot Barn Hall Go

If you're looking for Boot Barn Hall at Bourbon Brothers, you won't find it anymore — the popular venue in northern Colorado Springs has been renamed Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers.

This surprise rebranding reflects a new partnership between VENU and Phil Long Dealerships. The venue will continue hosting concerts and community events, but its website and branding have already been updated to reflect the new name.

Will you do us a favor and spread the word? We have a goal to add another 500 415 subscribers by Thanksgiving but we need YOUR HELP to get there!

📚 Community Rallies for Library, But...

Update: The Rockrimmon Library community made a passionate plea to the Pikes Peak Library District Board of Trustees to save their library from closing. Apparently around a hundred people attended last night’s meeting, sharing stories of how essential the library is to the neighborhood. According to multiple sources covering the meeting, despite the overwhelming show of support and some compelling financial arguments presented, the board didn't change their decision. While some residents still hope for a miracle, the board's decision seems final - looks like the doors will close December 1st. We’ll have to wait and see. Full Story
