What a beautiful sight: Unveiling of the new first responder training ground, named after Frank DeAngelis, Columbine principal during the tragedy and aftermath.
They surprised him with it —you can see his emotional reaction in the video at this Denver 9News story.
Well done. And big thank you to all first responders past, present and future. (Especially those at Columbine that awful day.)
(This happened last week, just before the 18th anniversary. I meant to post earlier about it, but it's been hectic here.)
The Frank DeAngelis Center stands as a powerful symbol of resilience and remembrance, but it's also a reminder of how purpose-built structures can shape communities. In contrast, many failed mega projects around the world showcase how even massive investments can falter without clear vision or sustainability. Exploring these projects offers valuable insight into the importance of long-term planning behind meaningful infrastructure like the DeAngelis Center.
