Ever wonder how they afford that? Check the receipts.
Admit it. Youβve wondered, how much money do they make?
Money is our last true taboo. We talk about therapy and bad dates, but guard our bank statements like classified files.
The podcast What We Spend blows the safe wide open.
In every episode, real people share their actual, unedited transaction histories. You'll hear about the secret credit card debt, the reckless impulse buys, and the hidden sacrifices nobody talks about at brunch.
Itβs revealing, intimate, and strangely validating to finally hear the truth behind other peopleβs bank accounts.

π§ Is Your Bumpy Road Next?
As we shared with you recently, Colorado Springs wrapped up a big paving season this year, with crews repaving 147 lane miles across 119 stretches of road, 17% more than planned. That included South Circle Drive, Union Boulevard from Austin Bluffs to North Academy, and Palmer Park Boulevard, plus plenty of neighborhood streets.
Now here's what's new: the city is already looking ahead to next year. An early 2027 list released this week includes Galley Road from Circle to Powers, Voyager Parkway from North Gate to Academy, and Fillmore Street between I-25 and Union. That list can still change before contractors bid on the work, so we'll share the final one once the city posts it.
It's all paid for by 2C, the voter-approved road tax that was renewed in 2024 and now runs through 2035. You can see past paving lists and future projects at ColoradoSprings.gov/2C. Full Story

π©βπΎ A Winter Farmers Market Is Coming!
No more waiting until spring for local food! For the first time, Colorado Springs is getting a farmers market that runs all winter long. Four local vendors didn't want to say goodbye to their customers every fall, so they teamed up with Wildcraft, which has run a winter market in Fort Collins for 20 years.
When: Saturdays, 10am-2pm, starting Nov. 21 through April 24 (no market Dec. 26)
Where: Indoors and heated in the Mountain Ridge Middle School cafeteria, 9150 Lexington Dr in Briargate, with free parking
What: 49 local vendors with winter greens, eggs, meat, bread, honey, coffee, prepared foods and handmade goods, plus food trucks outside
Opening day bonus: It's Military Appreciation Day! The first 100 active-duty and retired service members who show military ID get $5 in Market Bucks
It's free to attend and open to everyone. Bring your EBT card to the Info Booth for $10 in Food Access Bucks. Pets stay home, but service animals are welcome.

π New Flight Team for Our Tiniest Patients
Story by KKTV
Some of southern Colorado's smallest patients now have their own flight crew. Flight for Life at St. Francis Medical Center has launched a new Neonatal Transport Team to move newborns who need advanced care from hospitals across the region.
Each crew pairs a neonatal nurse with a neonatal respiratory therapist
They'll respond to both rural and city hospitals
A specialized infant isolette travels with them, so babies have everything they need on the way
It's an especially big deal for small towns, where hospitals often don't have the resources to care for critically ill newborns. The goal is simple: get babies the care they need, as fast as possible. Full Story
𧳠Need to get away for the holidays?
Trade the daily grind for the crisp, alpine peaks of Breckenridge or the sunset-soaked charm of Santa Fe. Check availability and book your stay today!
Will you do us a favor and spread the word? We need YOUR HELP! Please share Colorado Springs Town Tidings with 1 friend

π₯£ Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Recipe and image by Cookie + Kate
Perfect soup for the holiday or just a cool Fall/Winter night. Naturally creamy without a drop of cream! Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness, and a little garlic, maple and nutmeg make it taste like fall in a bowl.
It's vegetarian, easy to make vegan, and freezes beautifully, so you'll have a warm, healthy lunch ready to go as the holidays get busy.
