58 Years Ago

The January 26, 1967 Colorado Transcript reported that Adolph Coors Co. was having trouble preventing South Table Mountain from nudging 32nd Street ever closer to the brewery.

A year earlier, Coors had moved a section of the road south to make way for a brewery expansion. Since then, the mountain had been “pushing downward at a rate of about two and a half feet a year.” The company planned to remove 235,000 cubic yards of earth from the south side of the street, and expected that to solve the problem.
