After checking into Carr Manor for the evening, we walked around Cripple Creek to see what the town looks like after going through several boom and bust cycles over the last 100 years.
It was rather windy.
Lots of pretty old buildings in town.
The town has been somewhat revitalized by limited stakes gambling coming back. Many of the big buildings on the main drag are either new construction meant to look old or old construction restored for casinos.
Even so, there are many vacant lots in the middle of downtown where buildings once stood.
The streets through the middle of town are under construction. No one I talked to seemed to know why.
The old city hall and fire station.
