Drivers slowed, some coming to a stop at the main gate at Fort Carson, to gaze at the 13 pairs of boots, representing the 13 U.S. service members killed during an attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan last week during the final days of a mass airlift. Each pair of boots, representing “boots on the ground,” had a bouquet of flowers, an American flag, a photo and placard with each fallen soldier’s name on it, a can of beer and black ribbon wrapped around it. A penny was placed next to each pair of boots signifying the tradition of a visitor paying their respects to a fallen soldier. The memorial was set up by spouses of soldiers stationed at the Army base. Approximately 2,300 military service members have died during the 20-year war, the longest in American history.

Shoveled dirt flew through the air Aug. 25 as an enthusiastic crowd of city staff and officials participated in a groundbreaking ceremony for The Commons, a new project that will provide housing to families, veterans and other individuals affected by homelessness. Located at 3770 E. Uintah St., the apartment complex will include up to 120 rental units and will be constructed on the site of the devastating 2007 Castle West Apartments fire that killed two people and displaced dozens of residents. The housing community will include a mix of two and three bedroom units. Twenty percent of the units will be set aside for veterans experiencing homelessness. The Commons will also offer behavioral health support for its residents and is expected to open in the fall of 2022. The project is a partnership between Colorado Springs-based Homeward Pikes Peak and Denver-based housing nonprofit Rocky Mountain Communities.

A train ambles past the Martin Drake Power Station

A train ambles past the Martin Drake Power Station Friday afternoon in downtown Colorado Springs, the last day the historic plant burned its final load of coal. Since 1925 trains have been delivering coal to the historic plant. That era came to a noisy but memorable close.

The DEI Awards yesterday allowed us to honor those

The DEI Awards yesterday allowed us to honor those among us who have stood out as leading the way for diversity, equity, and inclusion. After hearing from John Register, who shared his story and what it really means to be an inspiration, we were proud to present DEI Champions Awards to Erik Huffman, David Prosper, Jordan McHenry, Moni Hernandez, and Jesse Perez. We also presented Pike’s Peak Transformational Awards to Rodney Gullatte Jr. and Sandy Ho. These indispensable individuals all spoke with grace and power, giving the audience a motivating call to action to continue the work that is so necessary in this community.

From @hikingbob_co: If you're like me, you prefer

From @hikingbob_co: If you're like me, you prefer a nice loop hike to an out-and-back trek. On a loop, every step is different, offering a different view. Of course there are some great out-and-back adventures, such as hiking the many fourteeners here in Colorado, or any one of the beautiful alpine lakes that dot the Rocky Mountains. But a hike where you go until you end up where you started is almost always enjoyable. This hike around the North Catamount Reservoir on the north slope of Pikes Peak is an enjoyable jaunt with a couple trail choices along the way. The views from this hike almost always include Pikes Peak or the reservoir — or both, and in mid-August, wildflowers were plentiful, especially along the trail nearest the reservoir.
