I grew up on E. Las Animas Street, and Prospect Lake was our swimming place. East of that was only prairie and cattle grazing. When I was 11 years old in 1965, we would go to Palmer Park lookout, and north of Palmer Park was nothing at all. The Cinema 70 at Platte and Chelton was the only building standing surrounded by empty fields. Newly constructed Academy and Platte overpass, way out in the countryside, had no traffic and it was so silent I could hear crickets. I miss my small hometown, and the prairie on the way to where I was born, Fort Carson, in 1954. There was rangeland and cattle grazing all the way there on highway 115 and no houses. Academy Boulevard was a two lane country road, again with cattle grazing on both sides of the road all the way up to the Dublin House on Dublin and Academy, which stood all by itself in the boondocks.

Acadamy Boulevard was the east side back then and still a two lane dirt road before it reached I-25. She got permission to go into the old Chief theatre to look around before they really started tearing it down and even got a few small parts of it. I still remember going through the tunnels and rooms under the old wooden stage....What an adventure that was!!!!

Denver's renewal was incredibly successful and it accommodatesd existing historical structures. The area around Coors Field was a sithole, nothing of value was lost there.

I've lived in both places for a significant amount of time, and you really can't compare them at all.

Colorado Springs is my hometown. I moved away in July 1972. I lived through the tragic demolition of some of its beautiful structures---most notably the beautiful Antlers Hotel and the Chief Theater. At the time we were appalled and angered by their destruction, and what was put up in their place was NOT an improvement---even to this day. Even the Hidden Inn in the Garden of the Gods is gone---a lovely structure that blended seamlessly into its natural surroundings. The downtown shopping district is also gone---including my favorite---the Chinook Bookshop. Now they are even building homes up the sides of the Front Range in Pike National Forest. Back in 1971-72, there were placards saying "Don't Californicate Colorado Springs." That is precisely what has been done.

I, too, grew up in the 60's and early 70's in Colorado Springs. I remember my parents lamenting the tearing down of the iconic buildings, and the businesses moving away from the center of town to what then were the outskirts. The tremendous growth of the city has made the city one that I now avoid because so much of the town has been overcome by typical construction that you can find anywhere across the country. Unfortunately, economics of the preservation of the past and the desire for newer and safer places have become the norm. We do not value the past, especially in architecture, and our primary focus is on safety and ecology. My memories of Colorado Springs now are sweeter than what remains there. I guess my memories are colored by nostalgia.

My afternoon paper route was along the houses in the ground, which are still there.

We had no idea that the forces at work had us as a target for years. This program makes a lot of sense now. I live in Denver now and they too had to create a Preservation Society as they were known fore tearing down historic structures. When I go back to visit I try not to look at the Police Station that replaced the only haven we had in a very conservative city. We all just scattered and left or ended up in the jails that replaced the only home we knew outside of our own. An older school was right beside us that was not as diverse as one might think but it was preserved and still stands but is a nice building structure. I was there in 1971-73.

What was miserable was having to go to another school (Mitchell HS) where I didn't know anyone, because of busing. I took solace in the music program, where I excelled so that made up for it in a small way.
