– Improvements at One Colorado.
A new “serenity” fountain has been constructed recently at One Colorado, and clear lights that have been installed for the holiday season will be on permanent display, adding to the nice ambiance at night.
Kudos to One Colorado for constantly improving the location. One can only wonder, how long will their security personnel endure the “Canadian Ranger” inspired hats, now that the holiday season is behind us!
