Well that's all very nice. No copyrights infringed upon, right? I found it interesting reading and I know it's what you've been saying since November or whenever, just be careful. You could link to a site rather than post all of that. There again, I don't mind because it was a nice read for me.
Now that Grupo Cemento de Chihuahua Plant, how's it doing these days? I used to see a bunch of dudes driving northward from the Stem Beach exit in the evening and haven't seen that traffic for a while. Is it still fully operational?
We could sure use an Aztec Fire Ceremony about now. I'll bring the marshmallows and some Bratz.
I've got family (a cousin who used to work and live in Gilette Wyoming) and friends working for the Excel/Commanche plant and that's great.
I also have a couple of friends that work at the aformentioned place that builds those 300 ft rails or whatever, and one of them is in the process of becoming a certified welder. They used to work for the long-since defunct Columbia House (a source of jobs for many in Pueblo and Walsenburg located at the once bustling DoRay Lamp Company Industrial building located off of exit 71 in Colorado City). The other guy has to pay his dues grinding those things down. That's not your everyday job.
Whatever happened to Eupec and how many jobs were lost when they shut down? I would have thought they'd accompany any work being done in the destruction of the mustard gas at the Chemical Depot Project via the technology of monitoring the flows of liquid/gas through a pipeline.
How many were/are being laid off at Trane? How many jobs were lost in the Industrial Park when Boeing pulled out of Pueblo? How many other jobs have suffered in that park as well?
The Riverwalk Project is great and all, but they better not mess with our favorite Friday lunch establishment; Patti's. The Convention Center Expansion project got voted down. I was disappointed. It's everybody's let's eat dirt and stay home and not drive and suck moisture out of our rain gutters and our two-ply-per-wipe-Sheryl-Crow mentality that are feeding people's fears.
Now let's talk about your wonderful coveted Pueblo Springs project; 70,000 new homes? What about the 10,000 empty brand-new homes in and throughout Pueblo West? The last frontier and flicker of hope that has been Pueblo County?
So, outside of Vestas and the scorching of some Mustard gas, what exactly is gonna sustain growth and jobs here in the Pueblo "Metro" area, enough for some 200,000 people that are likely to inhabit this sector of the state? Surely they're not gonna manufacture cars?
That's a booming industry.
Believe me Josse, if you were onto something and could truly predict the when, the where, and the how, we'd like to know. When Eupec shut down, some their company's employees came to our little plant out in Colorado City looking for employment; for a 30K/year sales job! One of them... landed a job with us. Another came to work for us in the housekeeping capacity for a bit. I ain't believing JACK until I see some pay stubs. Outside of that, this is all a bunch of fluff! That's the last thing Pueblo needs is hope. Pueblo is used to being down and dull.
I think Colorado Springs and Denver need not worry about the morning commute heading south anytime soon.
But nice pics! Keep em' coming!
