Hey, I'm starving here

Transcript of the most bald-faced lies from the MacGregor (s)creed:  If I don't liquidate we will loose (sic, lose, or maybe they'll just unmoor all the buildings from their foundations) everything anyways and then also be bankrupt us.  (sic, impossible to decipher - It's clear she's past the point of being able to afford grammar check)  I just can not allow what happened to my mom once before in Estes to happen again (what, pray tell, is that?  Burn down a shoddily constructed 20-year-old barn from corner cutting and code violations and neglect?).  I can't allow for taxes and payment to big banks cause us to lose anything we have left.  (Again, how does the size of the bank determine which ones are evil?  And should people not have to pay taxes once they've acquired over $5 million in land?  And where is this money for taxes being kept?  In a piggy bank?  Help me follow the logic:  Big banks bad, big private land owners good?)

Lest you think the folks in Ethiopia or the Syrian refugees have problems, along comes Jenna "Tall" MacGregor to let you know what's what.  Jenna and her family have real problems.

She owns a restaurant and two concession stands, yet somehow is starving.  She has at least five commercial properties in town, which would gross $5 million easy if there were placed on the market, yet is headed for bankruptcy.

Obviously, if you have $10 million in a safe deposit box in gold and silver and diamonds and AAA rated bonds and don't want to spend or sell or redeem any of it, you can always "claim" you are poor, and demand handouts.

But don't expect much sympathy from those of us who recognize those folks who complain when the wind blows their yacht too quickly past the free champagne tender.

    Crocodile tears. It seems the business concepts of 'surplus,' 'contingency funds,' 'managed risk' and 'free market' are unknown to some business owners in Estes Park. Being a business owner comes with risk, freedom and unlimited opportunities. In Estes Park, for some, it means, fight government regulation, claim poverty and feed at the handout trough when it suits you. Sorry if a few businesses go under, but there is always someone next in line. Less pork and more Darwin.

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
