A video Commerce City won’t be using to improve its image

In hopes of revamping its image as an industrial hellhole, Commerce City has hired an economic development consultancy to recast the berg as a diverse, forward-thinking municipality. The $80,000 the city is paying Texas-based AngelouEconomics should buy plenty of dreamy PowerPoint presentations.

But one video they probably won’t be using is this excellent “educational video” we posted earlier this year, showcasing how Commerce City “sparkles like a jewel in the cleavage of the Rocky Mountain West.” Thanks, Yummies!
