Springs stands to gain from
Rockies’ run,
an article from
The Gazette,
reports that a local tourism
official says in the case of
the World Series, what's
good for Denver tourism is
good for Colorado Springs
tourism. A study from
previous World Series shows
an economic impact of about
$2.4 million to $5 million
per home game. Lisa Amend,
communicators manager for
Experience Colorado Springs
at Pikes Peak Convention and
Visitors Bureau, says that
benefit should trickle down
to the Springs. "If people
come in for the games,
oftentimes if they're going
to be in Denver over a
weekend, they will come down
to experience Garden of the
Gods or the Air Force
Academy Chapel," Amend
said.

Mortgage demand climbs as
rates hold steady,
an article from
USA Today,
reports that the Mortgage
Bankers Association said
mortgage applications rose
for a second straight week,
largely reflecting a rise in
demand for home purchase
loans as interest rates held
steady... For the week
ended October 12, its
seasonally adjusted index of
mortgage applications, which
includes both purchase and
refinance loans, increased
0.7% to 656.3. Unchanged
from the previous week,
30-year fixed-rate mortgages
averaged 6.40% and fixed
15-year mortgage rates
averaged 6.09%.
