    Stone and Brick Buildings Serve a Purpose

    Almost all of Central City is covered in building made of stone and brick.This is because in 1874 a fire destroyed most of the buildings in the town. When they rebuilt, they chose something not as flammable.

    Rush of Gold, Rush of Green

    Central City's gold rush began in 1859. Now there's a different rush there, a rush of green. I was surprised to see so many recreational marijuana dispensaries in Central City. It's not a bad thing, but it seemed like there was one on every corner.

    Great Place to Turn 26

    After spending a weekend in Central City, I have to say it's a great place to turn 26. From the casinos to the history, it was a weekend for the books. I kept telling my boyfriend that our trip to Central City is the best thing he could have got me for my birthday. I'm sure Central City would be a great place to turn any age.
