The Georgetown Fiasco

[Robert McFarland]

After watching Denver TV footage on a NGDF post, it appears to me that developer Kurt Soukup threatens to turn Georgetown into just another Yuppieville, almost following the plot of an old John Denver movie.Maybe its time a few concerned citizens should follow that plot and stop him in his tracks.

I'm trying to think of which John Denver movie

[Robert McFarland]

Its called "The Christmas Gift".John Denver is sent to Georgetown by his boss,an unscrupulous real estate promoter,to scout out the town an talk the townspeople into selling out to him.Denver winds up opposing the promoter and rallying the folks into stopping him from taking over the town.

I'm actually quite a John Denver fan, but I've never seen that one.  I'll have to check it out!

  I have thought about buying the entire Clear Creek drainage and
forcing all inhabitants to revert their properties to 1885 condition
and status.  But I have a lot of other things going on and decided
just to make my own place look like it is 1885.
