Grand Junction
Avalon Theatre Reopened in GJ
Historic theatres and opera house are absolutely worth saving and restoring. After working in downtown revitalization for many years in Colorado and Iowa, it became very clear that when a town had the ability to construct a distinct and well-built theatre or opera house in the late 1800s or early 1900s and continues to make sure it is a key local venue, there is a strong downtown and community that captures my interest.
Western Slope Offers Wealth of Wonders
A 60-PLUS MILE STRETCH along U.S. Route 50 in western Colorado links Montrose to the south, Delta County in the middle and Grand Junction to the north. Two solid regional airports, a host of agricultural-related and outdoor options, spectacular scenery, milder temperatures and a friendly demeanor make this section of the Western Slope a must-consider for groups looking for something different.
