- A man hopes to single-handedly resurrect a sleep town with a colorful past into a tourist destination. He's rehabilitating several historic buildings and the reputation of Canon City, Colo.
Cotter needs to be held liable for the abandoned Superfund site. The shell game is shameful
I worked at Juniper Valley Dairy for 4 years when i was in prison I got out in 2012 finished parole in 2015 and been doing good since then
We're you milking the cows
Kind of a fun little town. White water rafting, mountain biking, lots of fun dinasour stuiff and a great microbrewery. Just don't drink the water.
I live in Canon City, Moved here from Chicago in the 70s
One thing this city needs to consider is, ample parking for visitors who come in cars and motorhomes.
Loved this! I was born and raised here.
2 years ago when travel restrictions were lifted from Covid, I drove from Pittsburgh, PA to Crested Butte, CO. I took 50 and stopped off and did all the touristy things. Anyways, I’m glad I did and would’ve loved to have grown up here.
I truly hope he succeeds. Lived there for many years and the reciprocity in that town is nonexistent. Like your business one month then abandons the business the next. Loved the town and hated the fear and scarcity mindset. Poor minded
Lot of crazy history in that town born and raised on the river I spent most of my days. I miss it.
The traffic lights in town are crazy.
They already have a reason to stop, it's called The Royal Gorge.
Imagine Chicago criticizing Colorado on law enforcement 😂😂😂😂
I live in Canon City
My great great great great grandfather lived there
Such a wonderful piece!!
My National Guard unit was at the old Armory in the early 90's
Raised my daughters in Canon love this town

done.

I grew up in Canon City and currently live just outside of Silver Cliff. I am so glad to see someone love the culture and preserve it for the future generation to learn of and learn from.
We have a lot more around here other than tunnels, prisons, racism, and Main St. This is basically an advertisement for the St. Cloud Hotel. It's still not done.
I lile going into brother's place, can smoke at the bar, pizza place is tasty.
where did the information that John Wayne shot True Grit in Canon City? Ridgway Colorado would beg to differ.
It was filmed in several different towns. Two of them being Ridgeway and Canon City. Some of the buildings from Buckskin Joe Old west town just west of Canon City were used in the film.
I know for a fact that it was filmed in parts of Fremomt County. Not only did they use the St. Cloud hotel for movie stars to stay at, but they also stayed at the Ramada Inn (now called something different) where my mom was a housekeeper. She cleaned the rooms of John Wayne, Goldie Hawn, Tom Selleck and many other stars who were filming numerous movies in the area back in the day.
I use to live in canon city and I’m here on vacation and I wish I could tour the St. Cloud and skyline building
I used to live there long ago. Went to middle school and a couple weeks of high school there. Go Tigers haha! My nephew Tommy G still lives there with his grandma Cherrol. I remember hearing about the KKK digging tunnels under the schools and there once was a brick in the high schools wall that was inscribed with a big "KKK" Not even joking...
Oh yikes 😬
There’s a grave in Lakeside that has a big KKK emblem on it
@@idawanoo5498 oh I believe it! Is Lakeside over there by where the DeWeese lodge used to be??
You know that's right!
And real name of it where the prisons are is canyon city complex
Canon City used to be a nice city . Politics has made it a shit hole ! It's getting worse , not better !
Glad there is no more racism colorado has changed so much
Gotta be the dumbest comment
Have you lost your mind?
Why do you think all those white liberal hypocrites from California Move their.?
Their not moving to Detroit and neither are YOU ! HYPOCRITE!!!
who would want to go to a prison / KKK / predominately Caucasian (LDS) Location?
