  • STATE of DOWNTOWN Colorado Springs 2021 ONE YEAR AGO, Downtown Colorado Springs Was Poised to Have Its Best Year Economically in Decades
    Economic snapshot and performance indicators STATE OF DOWNTOWN Colorado Springs 2021 ONE YEAR AGO, Downtown Colorado Springs was poised to have its best year economically in decades. The fundamentals were strong, new construction was humming and small business was luring new patrons. Then came the pandemic and ensuing recession, which proved particularly devastating to tourism, restaurants, small business and arts and culture, while also disrupting workforce patterns. But despite these historic challenges, as this report demonstrates, Downtown weathered this crisis far better than most city centers nationwide and is poised for an incredibly strong rebound. New businesses and investors are taking note – making Downtown Colorado Springs one of the hottest up-and-coming markets in the country. Our sixth annual State of Downtown Report notes nearly $2 billion in development – driven by strong multifamily growth, exciting new attractions, and investments in preserving and enhancing Downtown’s unique historic center. This comprehensive benchmarking report is packed with the data, trends and analysis to inform key stakeholders in making sound business decisions, created especially with investors, brokers, developers, retailers, civic leaders and property owners in mind. State of Downtown is produced by the Downtown Development Authority, and most data throughout the report tracks specifically within the DDA boundaries, the natural defining area of Downtown. Where noted, some data is reported for the Greater Downtown Colorado Springs Business Improvement District, the 80903 ZIP code, or the two census tracks that align with the city’s core. Data and rankings are for 2020 except where noted. A special mention about the pandemic: Some sections of this report are briefer than past years, and in some instances data from 2019 is reported instead.

  • Fred Barr 1882 - 1940 by Eric Swab
    Fred Barr 1882 - 1940 By Eric Swab I have always considered Fred Barr the benevolent benefactor of Pikes Peak hikers. He is credited with single handedly building the famous trail from Manitou Springs to the summit of Pikes Peak that bares his name. It is clear that he loved the mountains; however, his motivation for building trails was a combination of that admiration and his entrepreneurial spirit. Fred was born in Arkansas in June of 1882 to William M. and Mary Wade Barr, the eldest of 6 children. All of his siblings were girls.1 He came to Colorado with his family in 18932 when he was 11 years old. By 1900 we find Fred living with his family in Colorado City (now the Westside of Colorado Springs).3 Fred’s maternal grandfather Joel H. Wade had settled at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain on the Cripple Creek stage road in 1885. The Cripple Creek stage stopped at Wade’s place during the mining camp’s boom days.4 It is said that young Fred liked to hitch rides on those stage coaches headed into the mountains.5 These experiences must have been quite a thrill for a Kansas boy, and undoubtedly contributed to Fred’s appreciation of Pikes Peak. The Burro Livery Business By 1900 the City Directory for Colorado City lists William Barr & Son, proprietors of burros & tourist carriages on the north side of Manitou Rd, West End. That same year, Fred Barr, at age 18, is listed as a driver at the Garden of Gods station, residing on the north side of Colorado Ave.

  • Background Material
    BACKGROUND MATERIAL Excerpts from: National Science Foundation, Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science, National Academy Press, 1998, ISBN 0-309-06364-7, USGS Website, Geological Resource Division of the National Park Service Nature of Science Teaching about evolution has another important function. Because some people see evolution as conflicting with widely held beliefs, the teaching of evolution offers educators a superb opportunity to illuminate the nature of science and to differentiate science from other forms of human endeavor or and understanding. However, it is important from the outset to understand how the meanings of certain key words in science differ from the way that those words are used in everyday life. Think for example, of how people usually use the word "theory." Someone might refer to an idea and then add, "But that's only a theory." Or someone might preface a remark by saying, "My theory is . .." In common usage, theory often means "guess" or "hunch." In science, the word "theory' means something quite different. It refers to an overarching explanation that has been well substantiated. Science has many other powerful theories besides evolution. Cell theory says that all living things are composed of cells. The heliocentric theory says that the earth revolves around the sun rather than vice versa. Such concepts are supported by abundant observational and experimental evidence that they are no longer questioned in science. Sometimes scientists themselves use the word "theory" loosely and apply it to tentative explanations that lack well-established evidence. But it is important to distinguish these casual uses of the word "theory" with its use to describe concepts such as evolution that are supported by overwhelming evidence.
