Because I continue to be fascinated with my grand-aunt Ruth's scrapbook I never knew existed, the new cover photo is of a place my Balding relatives stayed in the 1920s. The caption in the lower left-hand corner says: The Millers Hotel, 422 E Pikes Peak Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colo.



The photo below is what that spot looks like today, on Google maps.

I'm not so sure that's progress.

When I tried to find one of the theaters my grandfather managed, I found an overpass.

Something to think about: In Rome some buildings have walls that were part of ancient Roman buildings. Hmmmm.

Uh. No. Not an improvement.

A recoilless rifle would solve that wee urban blight problem very nicely.
