When it was constructed, the Royal Palace Motel was a gleaming symbol of modernity at the intersection of Colfax Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. It was 1969, a high point for motorists, motels and neon along Colfax. The Royal Palace occupied one of the busiest corners in town.
Its glimmer faded as the years went on and the storied avenue became seedier. The motel closed in 2013 and has sat vacant and boarded up ever since.

Two more townships in Douglas County will be moving their elections to November. LaGrand and Osakis will now join the townships of Brandon, Carlos and Miltona in hosting elections in November instead of March.
And although voter turnout was sleepy in most districts, Millerville Township saw record breaking numbers, according to Marilyn Bitzan, Millerville Township clerk.
“It’s the largest we can remember seeing,” she said. “We had an excellent turnout (for a township election).”
