The military, the Siliconians and the HUGE number of elders/retirees we have, who move here for their health or the weather.
I'm wondering whether you mean GoG and Centenniel (which is like all of 7 driving minutes from me)? Circle crosses Austin Bluffs, which GoG turns into, on the east side of I25.
I can understand your SO being mad as heck, as there are so few decent places to eat here. It's an odd, funny thing about the natives and their relationship to the food here. They are under the delusion the food here is fabulous, when in fact most of it is deplorable. Of course, it does not help I'm from NYC, and know what damned GOOD food is. I hate to rain on their parade, but as a rule, it sucks eggs, bigtime.
I admit, I think you are absolutely right about the cross street. I knew it was a "C" but I went with the wrong one.
You're right about the food, too. Very few good places and some that I thought were good have gone out of business. There was a pretty good Italian place (Bambino's) that was at Platte and Circle. (The restaurant was on the second floor of a walk up.) The price scheme was kind of high, but the dishes weren't bad. There also used to be a good Japanese restaurant (Musashi's) on Acadamy Blvd not far off from the comedy club.
The other half is from Long Island, so I've got a frame of reference.
Tell your other half I've lived on LI, as well. Uniondale, Levittown. Ahhh, the memories! From where in LI was he?
Trinity Brewing Co., on GoG, past Centenniel, has outstanding food. Tomo Sushi, on Academy and Galley has consistently great sushi. The Craftwood Inn, in Manitou, has incredible game of all kinds, in fact it only serves wild game. I'm sure there are more, but I've yet to find them.
