“Nestled in the mountains of Colorado lies a picturesque town lled with heritage buildings, unique boutiques, and award-winning restaurants - welcome to Historic Downtown Evergreen. This small-town gem is a true hidden gem, o ering visitors a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.”

This is how AI describes Evergreen, and while I think so many of us realize that we are living in a special place, I also am seeing, on social media, that many have forgotten this. I understand that Evergreen has changed and for those who have lived here since the sixties or seventies, this change may be overwhelming and not welcome. But I challenge you to nd a place that is close to convenience and support services that has not experienced similar changes. Without a whole lot of prompting, AI continues to describe Evergreen like this…

“But did you know that supporting local shops and restaurants is critical to the success of this community? During these challenging times, such as road construction, it’s more important than ever to lend our support to local businesses. Every dollar spent locally makes a signi cant impact and strengthens the local economy, keeping money cycling within the community and ensuring prosperous futures for everyone.” silience1220 is offering a LGBTQ+ teen book club that meets from 4-6 p.m. the fourth Monday at the Resilience1220 office next to the Buchanan Park Recreation Center. The group’s first book is “Hell Followed With Us.” For more information and to register, visit R1220.org.
