		<description><![CDATA[The EDC has done NOTHING for me or my business ... so is personal experience enough to gauge an opinion?  By the way ... the perception of this place will ALWAYS be tarnished with the likes of Focus, New World Church, et. al. lurking about to crush any sort of progressive ideas.  IF the EDC is doing such a good job ...&quot;Explain the plethora of VACANT commercial property that abounds in this area!&quot;

Lets see how many Greenies the EDC attracts!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RJF the recipe for disaster is people like yourself who are A) MIs-Informed, B) Spewing such mis-information, and C) Doing so anonymously. 

A) Defense Contractor mindset. I guess RJF you haven&#039;t followed the EDC&#039;s work for the last few years or read any of the numerous articles written by oh gee just about every media outlet in town about the Angelou study. The big push in that study is to get more Health/Fitness related business to Colorado Springs (BTW the EDC got Rock Shox...the first and still leader in mountain bike suspension to Colorado Springs....no security clearance required for that gig). 

B) Think before you Speak. You are attacking an entity that I&#039;d argue has done more for this town than other business entity lately and if you followed the news instead of spewed your own ignorance you&#039;d know that. You just reinforce the outsiders notion COS is a bunch of corn bread hicks. 

C) Anonymity. Anyone can make a jab at a public figure behind a cowards veil of anonymity. What have YOU done for this town lately RJF? Who are you even to tell us how it is to begin with? You want change, put your name on it and do some work. See what it&#039;s like to face this stuff when your name is on the line. The team at the EDC does that everyday. So until you do that and see what it&#039;s like to face the uphill battle of defending Colorado Springs to the outside world that thinks we&#039;re a backassword town of uneducated dark ages people....well...I do it everytime I go to Denver/Boulder as well as Chicago....I don&#039;t want to hear it from someone who can&#039;t put their name to their words.

As Ghandi once said....&quot;Be The change you want to see in the world&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When is this city going to wake up!?! It seems like every week this town is hanging its hat on some new magazine survey that says Colorado Springs is a great place to start a business and live. Really!! Then where are all the businesses? Where are all the business leaders?]]></description>
