This I Remember

This I Remember | Marge Valesky & Sopris Park

Published February 13, 2024 at 4:30 PM MST

On this episode of This I Remember, Marge Valesky and Mary Ferguson discuss the establishment of Sopris Park in downtown Carbondale. Valesky arrived in Carbondale in 1954, and by 1967 was deeply involved in those efforts. Listeners will also learn what used to be where Carbondale's 7-Eleven is now (spoiler: no roundabout, gas station, or even CO-133), and plenty about how scary the roads and bridges in town used to be in winter.
