I'm sure there is some petty crime that goes on but I've yet to see any, car crime and burglaries are very rare and I leave my house and car unlocked on a regular basis, my hubby once left his car door wide open all night on the drive with a cell phone in it and it was still there in the morning. Its all very strange considering we live only a stones throw from Pomona although I think you have to go quite far south into Pomona for it to become really rough. Its a beautiful. peaceful and safe neighbourhood and I highly recommend it to anyone that has a spare million dollars to spend on a house..

Colorado Springs has surprisingly good weather sunny and warm most days (not the humid heat either), temperature does drop when the sun goes in but the mountians protect you from any major snow fall etc.

Yes welcome. And it honesty doesn't rain all the time we've had nice weather recently (t-shirts - honestly!) Though not today! Weather is more like England re rain than Scotland as you do get days here that don't rain not like home (Scotland)!

Actually I do like Tennessee. Was very impressed when we drove across it last summer.
