Telluride 30 years later

It's been about three decades since we first set foot at Telluride, Colorado.

Back in these days, and just like our own Park City, the town wasn't much at all. Today, it has grown a lot while its real estate prices have spiraled much, much higher, with its cute, renovated little houses, even more so than in Utah.

In contrast, though, the main street has remained very traditional and has kept its obsolete businesses and mom & pop stores, more so than its Park City counterpart, even if its buildings are no way near as well maintained.

This however is called “charm” and makes the place that much more endearing.

What was the frosting on the cake though was the re-discovery of the “license-plate shack” we had photographed back in these early days. Much more crowded, but still standing and unlike us, not aged a bit!
