Talk:Cripple Creek, Colorado

message: Some of this information is not up to date or inaccurate-
"About 11,000 feet" is an exaggeration. Cripple Creek itself is at 9600 feet. The surrounding hills where mining activity commenced only reach the vicinity of 10,500 feet. 
Casino operations arrived in 1993. 
"open pit mining is a possibility"- Large scale open pit mining has been in process since 1993, and has dug out many of the historic mine locations. The Cripple Cr4ek and Victor Gold Mining Company runs the operation as the "Cresson Project", in recognition of one of the richest historical mines in the district. Their site can be found here- http://www.ccvgoldmining.com/
In order to expand mining operations in 2000, the CC&V built the highest bridge on the state highway system. This 18 million dollar project was completely solely with private fund from the mining company. The bridge is 1218 feet long, and 250 feet tall at its highest point. -source- http://www.victorcolorado.com/thingstodo.htm
The article currently reads "located 44 miles (71 km) southwest of Colorado Springs near the base of Pikes Peak." This is inaccurate. The great circle distance from Pikes Peak Ave and S Cascade in downtown Colorado Springs to E Bennett and N 2nd in Cripple Creek is about 20mi, not 44mi. Here is a link to the distance calculation.

message: There is no mention of the origin of the name. Was the first settler a cripple? Was he injured there? Was the area a rest point? These questions need answering. --Guthrie 20:22, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason the big fire of 1896 isn't noteworthy?
There is surprisingly little on the fire of 1896, only found one website...I'll be looking into adding a section. Orenen (talk) 20:11, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Seriously … is the number of handicapped parking spaces , relevant to this article? Is this sort of thing noted on entries of other smaller cities? Or for that matter , any major metropolis? ( Sounds "silly" on that level , doesn't it? ) Just seems like an odd thing to focus in on. 75.104.163.77 (talk) 00:51, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
