When you get out of town, it does become wide open country. But there are over 1/2 million people in the county, with most of them living in town.
Addendum: Our paper today had an article that complained about the large size of "town": "Colorado Springs covers 185.7 Sq miles according to the Census Bureau, much larger than some cities with more people. Denver for example covers 153.4 Sq miles. Seattle is 83.9 and San Francisco is 46.7. These figures don't account for suburbs, so those metro areas are larger than Colorado Springs."
The population here certainly is more reasonable than Chicago, where I lived for 35 years. Back then, I did commute on the Illinois tollway in a Celica with a manual trannie the last 5 years I worked. It was not as easy a commute as riding the train downtown -- which I did for about 30 years. See my post to light (just above) on a thinking trannie.
