Now, with mountains, it is, I guess, still pretty. But it has nothing to do with history, that's for sure.

I'll find the photos to post. It is sad, from a historic point of view -- although I'm sure money has been made (what, the measure of all things ?).

Property taxes went up, by the way, there.

I normally don't reply to an "unregistered" poster, but I know from actual experience ( I have relation in Cripple Creek) that without gambling, Cripple Creek was a dried up ghost town. Granted the rapid growth has put some strain on the area, but without gambling, there would be nothing.
