No need to worry about any stress here.
Colorado Springs Housing, Rooms, Apartments, Sublets, Roommates
Finding a place to live can feel absolutely impossible. This group can help. Members post about vacancies when they have a property for rent, need a roommate or need someone to take over a lease. People also post about needing a place to live. Whichever side you are on, this group can connect you with people who can help you find the best solution for you.
Colorado Springs Foodies
Do you really like food? As in, do you like talking about food to the point that others' eyes glaze over, trying every new restaurant and learning every new method of cooking to try in your very well-stocked kitchen? Then, this is the group for you. It focuses on helping residents of Colorado Springs find the best restaurants and grocery stores (and sales!), and it is also a place to share recipes.
Do not worry if you are afraid your culinary skills are not quite up to snuff for this group — it is open to everyone, regardless of skill level. The only rule is to not ask the group for the best places to eat. Instead, the rules suggest checking the recommendations listed.

A myriad of reasons exist for why someone may choose a bicycle as their mode of transportation—health, the environment, commuting, saving money and more. This group is not judgmental about any reason being better than another and is a place for all cyclists to connect and discuss.
The ultimate goal of the group is to work toward a more bike-friendly and bike-safe city for all.
