That's Estes Park for you. When they have a chance to get nothing but positive publicity from stepping up and doing what every Colorado community should be doing, but very few Colorado communities besides Estes Park have the money and space and volunteer workforce to be doing, you let your racism and false exceptionalism shine through.

Didya ever think we would be at the cusp of a New Year with 587 deaths from a trash piece of RNA in little ole Larimer County, once COVID arrived on our shores in March 2020? Three years ago, we were welcoming the New Year in complete ignorance of what was brewing in China, soon to arrive in the U.S. Well, most of us were. I wasn't. But it is hard to convince people that something is vastly different from risks overblown before. People are skeptical of anything that they can't see with their own eyes, or have presented to them as real by someone they viciously dislike. I would say most people reading this would belittle the number 587, as if it was no different from deaths due to car accidents or strokes or heart disease or pneumonia. Of course, our life expectancy in the U.S. has decreased since 2020, our replacement rate in various states of the union is at risk of further tottering into negativity (meaning more people are dying in Alabama, for example, than birth occ...

If we can just talk this problem away, we have solved the problem. -Estes Park Town Trustees Now that Larimer County has passed the buck on housing or helping migrants newly arrived into Colorado, what is Estes Park going to do to step up and offer assistance? Or are we just going to mouth the same excuses, wish everyone the best, and not step up to the plate? This time of year in Estes Park, there are plenty of hotel rooms available, plenty of restaurants with open tables, plenty of retired folks with time on their hands, and, from the latest reports, a town obviously flush with cash, or we wouldn't be allocating another $1 million to a road project without batting an eye. What is more important - Human lives or roads? Human lives or comprehensive plans? Human lives or sales tax collection? We have zero burden in Estes Park with homeless folks, because we provide no safety net, especially on weekends, and chase them elsewhere. We are effectively insulating ourselves fro...

Ten years ao, the EPEDC sprang from the loins of Partners for Commerce, back when that was a thing, before we resurrected the Chamber of Horrors, after Citizens for Responsible Frottage collapsed under the sheer weight of the orgy pile. It was just another club for those with too many "let's put on a show" ideas and not enough safe outlets like wood-burning to form or join, only joining this one required $20K of extortion money to keep the infighting from spilling over into the public eye, and for investing in anal beads, probably, who knows. A decade of no tangible accomplishments beyond pumping each other up has caused a few cracks in the facade, though, and the EDCs two resident swell heads have recently carried over their mouth f***ing to the town bulletin board, for reasons unclear. This is all a bit hard to decipher - Is the hospital running out of money again for Country Club dues, or do they want folks like Kevin to go away and stop meddling in their fun? ...

Visit Estes Park is happy to announce that the Seattle fireworks display which in times past has been the highlist of New Year's Eve in the Emerald City is moving to Estes Park. "We just wanted to keep the same vibe going in a totally different location, dudes," VEP advisor Scott Handerburger was quoted as saying from high atop temporary scaffolding erected in Bond Park. "Naturally, we will have to build an exact replica of the Space Needle, but as long as the funky vibe is maintained, it's all good," he added, lighting up a giant doobie. As this article went to press, indications were that Estes Park was also in the running to host America's Cup, as long as it promised to construct an ocean nearby.
