During much of Colorado Springsâ history, times of prosperity and growth have often brought sudden and unwelcome change.
From the late â60s to the early â80s, new buildings replaced old throughout central Downtown. We built the Pikes Peak Center, the Holly Sugar building, the sleek new Antlers hotel and a couple of medium-rise office buildings, all in the name of urban renewal. We ripped down half a dozen irreplaceable historic buildings and scores of lesser Victorian structures, many in perfectly good shape. Reminders of our folly still disfigure Downtownâs heart, where parking lots are the unmarked graves of the Chief Theater, the Burns Building and many others.

Armed with a stunner and fish nets, aquatics biologists Cory Noble and Josh Nehring (left to right) with Colorado Parks and Wildlife wade up Bear Creek to capture Greenback Cutthroat Trout on Tuesday, June 13, 2017. In the 1930’s, the Greenback Cutthroat Trout was thought to be extinct. But the rare fish was not extinct in the wild, partly because an innkeeper in the 1870’s had stocked a pond near Bear Creek with Greenback Cutthroat Trout. The biologists were capturing males and females for the purpose of artificial spawning and eventually increasing the population of the trout by restocking at various locations in the state. The Greenback Cutthroat Trout is the state fish of Colorado. (Photo by Jerilee Bennett, The Gazette)
