The pair started the paper to provide "...informative, entertaining and thought provoking..."〔Weiss, John. "Letter from the Editor" ''Colorado Springs Independent'' 27 October 1993: 3.〕 articles. The paper was initially available on Wednesdays locally and was also featured as a supplement to the Thursday edition of the ''Denver Post''. Later changed to Thursdays, the paper is back to a Wednesday release date, can be home delivered along with the Sunday ''Denver Post'', and still includes the original local news, opinions, and food, film, music, and culture articles. In the first year, the ''Indy's'' thought provoking articles included some of the following headlines: *''Double Vision: Is Colorado Springs a tale of 2 Cities'' *''Hot Commodity - No end in sight for higher rents'' *''Creation of dispute / Evolution of curriculum'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colorado Springs Independent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
