Honestly, my biggest concern for the location is the weather. As I'm sure you already know, the Palmer Divide is AWFUL in the wintertime. I hope someone with Buc-ee's is researching this!

Board of County Commissioners says Buc-ee's qualifies as a convenience store under Land Development Code

Yessir. The plot thickens. Getting entertaining at least!

According to the county, Buc-ee's will now need to submit a site development plan for review by the county, including lighting, landscaping, parking and traffic.

---

this is step 1 for any development btw.. nothing unique for this situation.

Understood. They still have a long way to go. If anything, I'm fascinated by Buc-ee's determination to secure this spot! Driven past the desired location several times. Pretty much right at the peak of Monument Hill on the west side of 25. Would be a great spot to grab a Texas Cheesesteak burrito on my way to my daughters' basketball or softball tournaments!

---

yup I remember thinking back in the mid 10's when I first moved here that it would be a strategically good spot for something like a Buc-ee's as they weren't expanding outside of TX at the time. It works well for me as that's exactly where I get on/off of 25 on the way to/from Denver.

---

But isn't that a reason not to have it there for you. I get on/off 25 at County Line also when going to Denver. That intersection is going to be a mad house once Buc-ees opens.

Garth brooks apparently at grizzly rose tomorrow.

Thought this was worth sharing. Professional football is coming to Colorado Springs. I'm looking forward to it! Helps me get my mind off the current state of Aggie Football...

United Football League expands to Colorado Springs with new team

Mayor referred to Colorado Springs in that article as being in "southern Colorado". While I guess that's technically true (not by much) I don't think I've heard anyone say that before.

Correct! When we first moved here I was confused when the local new stations referred to the Springs as 'southern Colorado' as well. A glance confirms that it (barely) is in southern Colorado! Also curious as to what they are going to name the team. I see that they have not come up with a name yet!

My guess as to why the TV stations refer it as southern Colorado is that they basically cover everything in the southeast quadrant of the state. Don't know of any other stations south of the Springs.

I feel like a lot of Coloradans just call everything south of Castle Rock Southern Colorado and everything north of Broomfield Northern Colorado

Kinda. I would say the Springs is more central Colorado than really southern.

I also want to recommend Toy Doctor for you guys with Toyota and Lexus vehicles. I dropped off my Prius yesterday for a transmission service, oil change, and to secure the undercover since it was rattling on the highway. All in it was not quite $350 and the car runs better now. I do perform my own oil changes and basic maintenance normally, but I will do more business with them in the future for the bigger stuff.

Where they located ?

8000 E. Mississippi in Denver. 8061 S. Broadway in Littleton.

yes, but in terms of populated areas, there is the springs, Pueblo , and really nothing else until the border.

True, not much after Pueblo. Then the fascinating land of New Mexico.

Y'all watching the weather? Gonna be a soggy week! Looks like we're gonna get the remnants of two hurricanes...

Main questions in my book: low positioning + timing of Wed. AM cold front (would help create efficient rainfall + ideal upslope). That will be key for Denver area rainfall.

Feels like close to a slam dunk that southeastern Colorado will see a significant flood threat this week. https://t.co/dDzXhBukq7

Pretty rare to see "Colorado" and "hurricane" in the same sentence.

Looks like the forecast has changed significantly

WEDNESDAY SEP 30 7:30AM
Swing and a Miss

A slow‑moving, high‑stakes storm has been creeping toward Colorado all week — a rare mash‑up of an autumn upper‑low and the juicy tropical remnants of Hurricane Polo — and for a moment, it looked like Boulder and Denver might finally… pic.twitter.com/j8AV2dvzJp

Correct. Storm tracked too far south so not nearly as much up north. Southeast CO getting soaked!

Where are the Aggie watch parties in Denver? I saw a post about Stoney's Bar and Grill but it was for last season.

Still there. 1111 Lincoln Street in Denver.

Front Range Buc-ee's-gate is back!

Buc-ee's submits site development plan to El Paso County staff

County officials write on the website, "If the site development plan satisfies all applicable technical design requirements, it will be approved administratively. The site development plan does not return to the Board of County Commissioners for approval, and there is no appeal of that administrative approval to the Board of County Commissioners."

Got mine in there now. Reasonable for a water pump replacement. Thanks for the rec!

Glad it worked out for you.
