Bonnie Singleton grew up in rural Wisconsin, in a town so small it made Colorado Springs seem startlingly large. âNew Auburn is a town of 500... and I graduated with a class of 27 students,â Singleton recalls. âYeah, teeny tiny. âWhen I moved to the Springs, it was kind of shocking. I lived near UCCS, and I remember having to make a left turn on Austin Bluffs and felt overwhelmed by just two lanes of traffic â and I cried. I had never parked in a parking garage before. Iâm kind of an undercover hillbilly, really. Now, Colorado Springs feels like just the right size for me: Itâs not small, but not a huge metropolitan [city]. Iâm able to network and connect with others while maintaining some anonymity here.âÂ
