I had a good friend years ago, when our husbands were in the Air Force, who was from Canon City. Her name was Karen Lester. She was married to a guy named Nick at the time, but remarried after they were transferred to another base. Can’t remember what her last name is now, we lost touch . Anyway, it’s weird how this video just popped up in my random feed here on RUclips…….made me think of that sweet friend from too many years ago.
@@livinginsouthernco Yeah, could be, especially since we are a good bit older now. Her daughters, Dani and Katelyn, who my son used to baby sit for back then, would be in their early 30’s now I think.
My wife& I have visited CANON CITY several times toured the prison, ziplined the ROYAL GORGE twice, Rafted the ARKANSAS river, Rode the train under the ROYAL GORGE BRIDGE, Explored SKYLINE DRIVE, BEAUTIFUL AREA lots of fun thins to do.😊😂
this video helped alot. this is the only video for people looking to move there. everything else is for tourist. very appreciated. i heard the crime rate is pretty bad there. how is tht? do you have to worry about break ins and stolen property?
I've basically lived in Canon City my whole life, and it's okay don't get me wrong but, I'd like to see more things to do that aren't targeted to tourists. Also, I've personally have read a lot about shootings that typically weren't here when I was growing up. I feel the reasoning MAY be, is because a lot of families move to CC when their loved ones get sent to prison here and that MAY have a reason as to why. Anyway, for the most part CC is decent for 18-35 he olds, but I feel it's a great town to raise a family or retire in. Great vid!
I definitely think there are things wrong in every city you live in. I personally love Canon City very much! I would also like to see more things that aren’t catered to tourists as well. Thanks for the comment.
I’ve visited here a few times and absolutely love the town. I’ve been wanting to move there but the high crime rates have been a concern of mine. Is it really as bad as it shows on the statistics?
I love living in Canon City, Yes there is crime, but that's everywhere now a days It such a great place to visit and live Population not out of hand Close to the Springs and Pueblo The very best is being soo very much close to the mountains & other activities
I went to Camp Holy Cross at The Abbey back in the early 70s, great time.
Thanks for a great pro and con video on Canon City. Would love to move there !
You’re absolutely welcome! It’s a great town!

The biggest con is the Cotter Uranium processing disaster. I am surprised it is not a bigger story.

It depend on the area of town you live.

I agree! I believe you have to look at the positive in where you live versus the negative.
