PUEBLO — A native of this southern Colorado city with a passion for education, the arts and his community retired a few years ago, took a trip to France and visited the village where Leonardo da Vinci spent the last years of his life.

PUEBLO — Imagine slipping into a sleek capsule at a train-like station in Pueblo and arriving in Denver 11 minutes later. Regardless of the weather. That’s the vision that drives Swisspod Technologies as it works to complete a one-mile, full-scale hyperloop test track on the grounds of the former Pueblo Army Depot in southeastern Colorado. In November, Swisspod unveiled 25 steel tubes atop concrete pillars stretching across 218 yards of prairie.

COLORADO SPRINGS — People wearing poorly made or ill-fitting shoes or wearing the wrong shoes for the occasion is so common that shoe store owner Linda Staines merely chuckled when asked how many people are wearing the wrong shoe size. “You have to try them on,” she said, emphasizing the word “have.” For nearly 20 years, Staines and her husband, Gary, have measured feet and watched people walk and run in the Runners Roost shop downtown to get them into the right shoes.

CAÑON CITY — When voters delivered a mixed decision on building a new pool in town, they created a dilemma: build it without the assurance of having the money to operate it or walk away from the project despite voters’ approval of the sales tax and debt to build it.
