Another two dollar book from the used book shop at the Harmony Library. This is a brief history of Fort Collins from 1950 to 2000 written by a former reporter for KCOL radio. Very informative and a lot of fun it's probably only interesting to townies like me. The writer does a good job of highlighting events that occurred that contributed to the growth of the town. He also spends time on projects that shaped the physical size and shape of the city. Very interesting story on the development of Old Town. Quite a stroll down memory lane for me. Recommended to local history buffs and those of us lucky enough to have known Fort Collins before it became what it is today.

This was the continuation of Visions Along the Poudre spanning from the 1950s to 2000. I could relate to a lot more in this one since I could remember some of the things he talked about.
