Spanish Springs Town Square的点评
点评：Manitou Springs: The $6-an-Hour Masterclass in Mediocrity
Manitou Springs likes to think it’s a charming little mountain escape — a “hidden gem” tucked away in the Rockies. The truth? It’s three short streets of overhyped nothingness: a few trinket shops, a couple of restaurants that are fine if you’re famished, and not much else to justify your time, gas, or curiosity.
But the real attraction — the true wonder of Manitou Springs — is the parking. Six dollars an hour. Yes, six. To leave your car in a town you’ll be done exploring before your meter expires. It’s less a parking fee and more an intelligence test, and if you pay it, you’ve already failed.
There’s a special kind of audacity in charging Aspen prices for small-town mediocrity. The town fathers must have sat around a table and thought, “How can we turn disappointment into revenue?” And voilà — $6-an-hour parking was born.
The result? A town that’s not so much charming as charmlessly profitable. The “local color” is a faded shade of greed. The vibe? Tourist trap chic, with a side of indifference.
So here’s my humble advice: Skip it. Keep driving. Let the streets stay empty, the meters stay hungry, and the town council count their blessings — or their losses.
Because, dear town fathers of Manitou Springs — shame, shame, shame. You’ve managed to turn what could have been a mountain gem into a monument to misplaced priorities. The mountains deserve better. So do the visitors.

翻译：马尼图斯普林斯：每小时6美元的平庸之作
马尼图斯普林斯自诩为迷人的山间度假胜地——落基山脉中隐藏的“瑰宝”。真相是？它不过是三条被过度吹捧的街道，空无一物：几家小饰品店，几家勉强能填饱肚子的餐馆，除此之外，几乎没有什么值得你花费时间、汽油或好奇心的地方。
但马尼图斯普林斯真正的魅力——真正的奇观——在于停车费。每小时6美元。没错，6美元。你把车停在一个你还没来得及探索完小镇就得交停车费的地方。与其说是停车费，不如说是智商测试，如果你付了钱，那就等于已经失败了。
对一个平庸的小镇收取堪比阿斯彭的价格，这本身就是一种莫大的胆量。镇上的领导人肯定围坐在桌旁，琢磨着：“我们该如何把失望转化为收入呢？”瞧，每小时6美元的停车费就此诞生。
结果呢？与其说是迷人，不如说是徒有其表的唯利是图。“当地特色”不过是贪婪的褪色。氛围如何？旅游陷阱式的时髦，外加一丝冷漠。
所以，我的忠告是：别去。继续开车。让街道空空荡荡，让停车计时器继续空着，让镇议会数数他们的得失——或者说是损失。
因为，亲爱的马尼图斯普林斯镇长们——真是丢脸 ...
