What's up, Montrose! This is Anna Lynn.
Montrose is in the bottom-center part of this map. That big red cluster in the upper left is Grand Junction:
However, we're fortunate to be extremely close to nature un-polluted by the glow of streetlights and regular traffic.
The International Dark Sky Places Program officially certified Currecanti National Recreation Area as a dark sky park, becoming the first national recreation area in the US to achieve this status.
Escape the city lights this weekend and look up to the constellations!
How is the I-70 detour affecting Montrose? I went up and talked to people at a bunch of gas stations yesterday to hear about how the I-70 closure through Glenwood Canyon was affecting their travel plans. The reactions ranged from "meh, the single-line highway isn't my favorite" to "I had to change my entire trip."
Josue's working on a follow-up story about the short- and long-term consequences to local businesses. Keep your eyes out for this story coming out in tomorrow's newspaper!

Bipartisan infrastructure bill: how much will CO get? If you pay close attention to the political scrimmages in Washington, then you've probably been hearing a lot about the bipartisan infrastructure bill making its way through the negotiating rooms of DC.
Colorado is slated to get about $5 billion from the $1 trillion bill, which could go to everything from fixing I-70 to public transportation. Throwback to the state's transportation bill that passed earlier this summer — the jury is still out about how much attention Montrose and the rest of the Western Slope will get from that.
ICYMI! Nursing homes and covid guidelines: As mask recommendations for the general public have come, gone, and come again, Cassie reported that nothing has changed much at some local nursing homes.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! If you do end up going sky gazing, I would highly recommend downloading a star map app before you go. All you need to do is point your phone at the sky and it will show you the constellation! We're really living in the space age, y'all.
