Imagine getting cast in a role as a cook …when you don’t cook. Now, there are some things you can learn in an acting class, but mad knife skills are not among them. But that’s just what the cast of Clyde’s had to quickly learn (yep…just said “quickly” and “knife” in the same breath) to […]
Imagine. You’ve served your time in prison and suddenly, you’re free. You’ve got the clothes on your back, a bus ticket and some change in your pocket. If you’re lucky, maybe there’s someone to meet you when the bars clang shut at your back. But maybe not. No job. No money. No roof over your […]

Now that the clouds have parted and the rain storms have (mostly) passed, Coloradans can go outside and enjoy the sun! After you’ve packed in your daytime activities, there’s no better way to wind down that to enjoy an outdoor concert as the sun sets in the background. Sure, you could likely head down to […]
If you’ve ever driven west across the plains of Kansas, the panhandle of Texas, the tribal nations of Oklahoma or the corn fields of Nebraska, it’s a sure bet that at one point you wondered what those early pioneers thought. They would travel miles and miles on horseback, in a wagon or even on foot, […]
One hundred and twenty five miles east of Pueblo, Colorado is the small town of Granada. Situated along Highway 50 a mere 15 miles from the Kansas border, this dwindling town of 445 is fairly unremarkable save for the dubious part it played in World War II as the site of the Granada War Relocation […]
