Shortened Statement: Will Colorado Springs soon be called "The Broadmoor's Colorado Springs?"


Like a Monopoly game, at this time, billionaire Philip Frederick Anschutz, the owner of the Broadmoor Hotel, sort of seems a bit like George Bailey's opponent in "It's a Wonderful Life," the greedy character Potter, since little by little, it seems like Anschutz is "buying out" Colorado Springs.

I've determined that our city is run like a small town. Powerful people with money can use their wealth to get their way here.

The fate of the Strawberry Fields Open Space is yet to be determined, but will Colorado Springs, like the small city of Bedford Falls in "It's a Wonderful Life," soon be like the Pottersville that was once Bedford Falls (when George Bailey saw what life would have been like if he had not been born)?

Will Colorado Springs soon be called "The Broadmoor's Colorado Springs?"
