Colorado has four area codes, but only 303 can lay claim to being the first (it was put into place in 1947), the oldest by far and the most palindromic. That OG vibe also gives it the most cachet, which is why people in Denver and its suburbs, which is where most of the 303 numbers are distributed, like to name their restaurants, auto shops, stores, publications and products after those magic digits.
When it comes to beer, Station 26 Brewing scored a major victory two years ago for all things local when it secured the trademark statement of use rights to 303 for beer and brewery-related products.

GIBBON, Neb. (AP) - Sandhill cranes making their annual mid-migration stop in the Central Platte Valley during the next two months will see things in a new light, at least the ones flying to and from overnight river roosts at Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary southwest of Gibbon.
As the cranes continued to lounge in warmer weather areas such as the south Texas Gulf Coast, Dawson Public Power District linemen braved below-zero windchills Tuesday to install new Avian Collision Avoidance Systems for two power lines that cross the main channel of the Platte River.

GIBBON â Although vaccinations for health care workers began this week, COVID-19 will continue to limit large gatherings for many months to come in 2021.
One exception from late February through early April will be the annual gathering in Nebraskaâs Central Platte Valley by thousands of sandhill cranes. Itâs one of the worldâs greatest migration spectacles.

Brice Krohn, president of the Crane Trust, which is south of Alda, said recent surveys by federal agencies and Nebraska groups estimate that 800,000-1 million sandhill cranes now make an annual mid-migration stop in the area.
