What's on Your Radar? Maria Ryan

A friend and avid user of PeakRadar.com tells us what she loves about the website and the Pikes Peak region, even though she lives in Idaho!

"I receive your PeakRadar email because I am trying to get my husband to get on board and move to Colorado Springs. We currently live in Coeur d Alene, Idaho.  We have been to Colorado Springs many times and I am trying to convince him that this big house and ten acres is just too much - I want a townhouse in the Broadmoore gated estates area.
I am an artist and designer and I [had] three miniature paintings in the El Dorado Gallery's 31st annual miniature art show there. I had work there a long while ago also and won a nice award. Would love to get involved in the art community there...
I see [an outdoor fine arts show] there in July, but it is a two day trip for us - maybe I can get [my husband] to come and at least see it (and look at the houses I like in the area). When guys get older they sure do get stubborn!"

We hope you're able to come join us in Colorado Springs very soon, Maria. Tell your husband he doesn't know what he's missing!
