It's Monday! For BNLO’s season 2 conclusion, Shutter and Strum’s Brian Tryon has been in Colorado for a long time and you know what? He just wants us all to come together as a community. In this epic episode of BNLO, our conversation takes away back into time, all around the place, to Omaha, K**b Hill, downtown, the 80s and so much more. We talk about a city that’s changing, social media is changing how artists promote their work and an (almost) creative district that’s been on the rise.

Plus, what’s next for BNLO? What’s going on with season 3? Be sure to stay tuned!

Forgive the smudgy look of the bookends, I’m sorry, it looks bleh.

Mentioned in this episode:
Downtown Colorado Springs
K**bhill Urban Arts District
K**b Hill Neighbors
