A Wild West Silver Town in the Rockies
[Colorado] The area settled during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush in 1959. Silver was discovered in 1964 and later became the main source of income. Over 3,000 people lived in the area around 1880, but today just over 1,000. Georgetown is full of historical buildings and is well worth a visit. You can cover the historic district in about two hours if you walk around. The most popular thing to do is to take a train ride up to Silver Plume. It will take 1hr 15min round trip.

    Nice video. I was born just steps from Ala Moana beach at the old Kaiser Hospital, where the Prince Hotel now stands. I remember family picnics at Ala Moana and taking visitors there for a pleasant day of swimming. In fact, it's where my father taught me how to swim when I was a small boy. As a young adult, I used to work across the street at the Ala Moana Shopping Center and after work, I would go for a swim and just relax before going home. I moved from Honolulu many years ago, but I still have very fond memories of Ala Moana beach. Thank you.

Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot Late last night I heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi Took away my old man Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
