About Colorado Springs:
Colorado Springs is one of the greatest cities in America! It's size is small enough to maintain the feel of a connected community, but large enough to offer almost everything residents might need. There are so many things to do within the area that the family could go a whole year without visiting the same place twice. People are always out hiking, fishing, camping, and playing in the area. The endless recreation options ensure that there is always something to do that is fun.
Population:
The population density of Colorado Springs is lower than average, at 2325 people per sq mile. With plenty of room to grow, Colorado Springs is expected to continue it's growth trends for many years to come. Colorado Springs, CO is the second largest city in Colorado, with an estimated population of over 650,000 residents, including all the metro areas. The city offers more amenities than most of the surrounding areas, which is a contributing factor to its rapid growth. It's a fun place to live, work, and play!
National Pride:
Colorado Springs is the heart of the nation’s Olympic movement, where a timeless culture of achievement, national pride and dedication sits comfortably alongside awe-inspiring beauty and unparalleled natural training grounds. We are home to the United States Olympic Committee Headquarters, 21 National Olympic Governing Bodies, over 50 National Sport Organizations, the U.S. Olympic Training Center and the future U.S. Olympic Museum and Hall of Fame.
Diverse Community:
Our diverse community has always reached for the sky, while remaining firmly grounded in the tremendous opportunities that the Pike’s Peak Region affords us every day. Not limited to our manmade facilities, the region boasts incredible natural training ground, inspirational views and vistas, and a commitment to excellence that transcends sports and infuses itself in our educational, medical, technological and cultural assets.
Parks & Entertainment:
When Colorado Springs filed the original town plat in 1871, it included one city block as the first city-owned park. The park, known as North Park or Acacia Square is the site of the present-day Acacia Park. Colorado Springs' city founder General William Jackson Palmer generously donated 1,270 acres of parkland, bridle and foot paths, scenic drives and roadways planted with trees, to establish a significant foundation of the Colorado Springs park system. These gifts included Acacia (North) Park, Monument Valley Park, Antlers Park, Pioneer Square (South) Park, Palmer Park, North Cheyenne Cañon, Prospect Lake and Bear Creek Cañon. In 1909, the Perkins heirs gave Garden of the Gods Park to the City, adding to the beautiful parkland already established.
The wide range of exquisite restaurants in Colorado Springs range from high-end sophistication and superb elegance to rustic outdoor suppers, great wood-fired pizza and casual sidewalk cafes.
Colorado Springs restaurants also make outdoor patio dining a relaxing and inviting experience. During the warm months, you’ll be happy to see casual and family restaurants all over town opening their doors and setting out tables and chairs for al fresco diners. In the winter, cozy up near the fireplaces you’ll find in many international and special occasion restaurants around town.
True Community Involvement:
Unique partnerships between neighborhood associations, churches, schools, non-profit agencies, private businesses, and military installations allows the Colorado Springs Community Centers to create an unparalleled environment for learning, recreation, and personal growth. Additionally, the Community Centers provide comprehensive and integrated community-based services at a single site for youth, families, the elderly, and those with special needs.
Winery at Holy Cross Abbey
Since July 2002, The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey has been attracting visitors from all over the world. Located on the pastoral and serene grounds of The Holy Cross Abbey, nestled against the spectacular backdrop of the Wet Mountains, the winery and tasting room are shining examples of what draws visitors to Cañon City and Fremont County.
The tasting room is open daily, and was voted Best Front Range Tasting Room by Colorado Vine. There is ample parking, and the beautiful tree-shaded park has picnic tables where you can enjoy your lunch and a bottle of wine. The gracious staff will guide visitors through a tasting of multi-award winning wines. The gift shop is filled with items from all over the world, as well as many items that are distinctively Colorado.
The winery is also host to an annual harvest festival. Always the last week-end of September, 2010 marks the 9th year the fest has been ongoing. Celebrating the year's grape harvest with music, food and the arts, the highlight of the festival is the crushing of the community grapes for the wildly popular Wild Cañon Harvest wine. The wine contains grapes from over fifty growers, while seventeen different varietals of grapes have now been identified as part of the blend. The wine is traditionally released the week of Thanksgiving, and has become the celebrated holiday wine of Cañon City.
This years' harvest fest will take place on Saturday, September 25th and Sunday September 26th. The Winemakers' Dinner will kick off the festivities on September 24th. Award winning wines will be paired and served with exquisite cuisine. Reservations for this event are highly recommended, as it is expected to sell out quickly.
The winery is also a wonderful place for your gift shopping, as they can now ship wine to most states. Your gifts can be taken care of from start to finish. If you can't visit the tasting room to shop, check out the winery website at abbeywinery.com.

Mark Harris, AIA
He apprenticed under Antoine Predock, FAIA, where his early theoretical and practical frameworks of cultural excavations and environmental stewardship were formulated and expanded. His current emerging work, which centers on latent social and environmental narratives within architecture, has recently received numerous national and international awards. Mr. Harris' work has been noted as 'visionary, bold, and evocative, creating a cohesive and probing architecture that is both powerful and highly symbolic. His early formulations of Hybrid Architectures, manifested in his recent Billboard House project and his Remote UN Security Council Chambers project, garnered him the prestigious 2003 American Architecture Award.
Considered an emerging voice in architecture, he has been a visiting lecturer, conference speaker, and studio critic at major national and international universities , and donates his time and talents to several overseas children's charities in Russia and Romania.

Colorado Experience: Imprisonment
Initially only a single building in the middle of a 30-acre plot of land near Cañon City, Colorado’s first prison was erected in 1868 before statehood. Colorado’s history of imprisonment has taken a turbulent journey through rebellions, riots, and escapes. The story of Old Max and its architectural journey tells the story of changing attitudes towards crime, justice and punishment.
1929 prison riot caused deaths at Colorado State Penitentiary
CLIP IS AVAILABLE ON A VARIETY OF FORMATS SD/HD
PLEASE EMAIL FOR DETAILS
A 1929 riot at the Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City left 13 dead. On October 3, a group of five convicts led by Danny Daniels captured and disarmed several guards. As they took refuge in Cellhouse No. 3, another group of convicts set fire to the mess hall, two cell houses and the chapel.
After prison authorities blockaded Cellhouse No. 3, Daniels threatened to kill the captive guards unless his group was set free. Warden William Crawford refused the demands. Instead, Crawford called for the National Guard and the police from Colorado Springs and Pueblo.When Daniels' ultimatum failed, he began shooting the guards. The warden then attempted to dynamite the cellhouse. When the blast failed to breach the wall, tear gas was thrown through the windows from the roof. Fearing capture, Daniels killed his four companions and himself. In all, eight guards and the five prisoners died.

Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la, Spanish: Gran Cañón), is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, and the Havasupai Tribe. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet or 1,800 meters). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests that the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration.
