Currently climbing the Co-Billboard charts

Colo and Coro are synonymous in Japan, so it was no wonder the Centennial State's latest effort was destined to climb the charts.  Up two notches on the big board from last week (see below), it's "Level 2" by the Pueblo County Inmates.  


The lyrics are catchy, all about keepin' on living the way you're living, not changin' a thing, especially behavior,  party on, soon we'll reach Level 3, etc., etc.  It has some different versions statewide, but at least Tom "Speedy" Gunwales (family name pronounced with three syllables, like George Wallace) and the boys down at county health are doing some major ass-covering harmonies right now.

Colorado had been comfortable at position 30 on the national charts for months, but, busy as a beaver, it dreamed of cracking the top 25, and will very soon surpass neighboring Utah, which, make fun of it all you want ("Utah - Where every family outbreak kills hundreds"), has 1/4 the mortality of Rocky Big Britches, despite over 1/2 the population.

How's that ski season shaping up, Colorado?  Everyone "Open for Business"?  Any slope-side hospital promotions?  

Can fire officials make safe COVID decisions as well?

I'm wonder how fast our local Estes Park Chamber of Commerce was promoting "Open for Business" after the Big Thompson Flood?  Did they wait until the first bodies were recovered, or did they start crafting a "Raft up to Estes" campaign in partnership with Zodiac Nautic?

Getting Hostiles

Image
According to the IMDb website, some portion of the movie Hostiles was filmed in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Does this look like Pagosa Springs? The movie is gorgeously shot, and the locations are breathtaking.  Being somewhat familiar with Pagosa Springs, though, I'm having trouble matching any of the exteriors with anything within a 10-mile radius of Pagosa Springs. According to IMDb The railway station at Chama, New Mexico served as the stand-in for Butte, Montana.  Chama is about 50 miles away from Pagosa Springs, and Pagosa Springs definitely sent some of its own down to Chama to serve as extras, one of whom is currently pedaling coal from the Chama location on Ebay. A big-budget movie filming in a community of 2000 is generally a newsworthy event.  Filming of Hostiles took place in the summer of 2016, and Pagosa Springs' newspaper of record, the Sun , made no mention of stars Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Wes Studi, or director Scott Cooper hanging out at P

The Estes Park Economic Development Corporation (EPEDC) is patting itself on the back because "the award for 'Small Community of  the Year' was presented" to them by the Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC) "on behalf of a town that sets its sights on building a more resilient, inclusive, and vibrant community and economy after recovering from the devastating Colorado floods in 2013." How has the following economic development been beneficial to Estes Park? The Estes Park Event Center, completed in spring 2014, has not brought all the big events expected from outside of our community.  It is not profitable. The Estes Park Medical Center (i.e., Park Hospital District) did not have the money to build the EPMC/Anschutz Wellness Training Center within the two years specific in the "Contract for Sale of Lot 4" to John Cullen, owner of the Stanley Hotel (i.e., Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC).  Since the money was not raised, according

Okay so I'll say it

Jeez we have a bunch of milquetoast pretend journalists in town. The guy who was arrested locally a few clicks back, Keaton M.A. Krell, is the same guy who sexually assaulted a bunch of underage females in Linn County, Kansas, and, brazenly, got away with it. The airtight connection is through his wife or ex-wife or whoever star pupil and non-profit wunderkind Candace Krell is. But even then, c'mon, how many folks named Keaton M.A. Krell are running around diddling little girls? Get some cojones, POR (paper of record) and POR (podcast of record). You did the work (sort of) now publish the findings. Stop hiding behind the town as an excuse to avoid going to press - the PIO and TA aren't going to give you anything because they are scared of their own shadows. For the low IQ crowd and too easily unconvinced: Note how Candace Krell used to give her home address on LinkedIn as Estes Park, Colorado Here's another big whoopsie And this And this And this
