Oops, that was stupid. I put the same photo twice. Well here is the other; notice the row of trees in the background. This is smack dab in the boon docks. That's the water from the Sand Creek that keeps those trees alive;



While I'm at it, here's a 37' that shows the benefits of Colorado's dry climate;

Northside Lowes Store and Formly Eagle Hardware Store





New Southside Lowes and my personal favorite to the two!

[Josseppie]

It is nice and I am glad to finally see stores on the south side....

[McGowdog]

Hmmm... Lowe's...

Did you realize that if you put a "T" at the end it becomes Lowest?

[Josseppie]

As in lowest price? i wonder if that was the idea behind the name....

This was in the Pueblo Chieftain, the states oldest newspaper.



Once the tower facility is running, Vesta's may have another operation on its way to Pueblo.

Iverson could not make any guarantees, but suggested that Pueblo may be a candidate for a foundry here.

The final decision will depend on a number of issues and the company still is looking at the entire United States for an appropriate location.

"Pueblo has been a baby for me and I will do my best to get it down here," Iverson said. "I think Pueblo has a good chance."


This is how big the current plant will be they are building:

The main facility is the size of six football fields and eventually will have 56 overhead cranes, some criss-crossing each other, to bring materials into place for the towers, Culkin said.

This was in today's Pueblo Chieftain, the states oldest paper:



"Land east of Pueblo could become home to one the nation's largest solar power fields.

Helios Energy Partners, a consortium of firms seeking to build a 200- to 300-megawatt solar plant, met with Pueblo County commissioners this week about the estimated $900 million project."
