I live in Colorado Springs and one of the things I love the most here is the Van Briggle Studio.  My son worked there for seven years.  Friends of his still working there have told him the doors are shutting for good in September.  The land is worth a fortune and business is down (probably because prices are through the roof and a lot of the quality has diminished in my opinion).  This studio has been open for over a hundred years.  So buy now, prices of Van Briggle will go up.
