[edit] 10th Mountain Division Information

An editor stated in the Description and history portion of this article:

Need some verbiage about 10th Mountain Division

I'm removing it from the article and placing it here, a more appropriate location. --Wolf530 01:45, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sardy Field

Sardy Field is Colorado's third largest airport.-- Surely this is a typo, right? Maybe it's Aspen's third largest employer??Mattbucher 18:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wealth

How can you guys make a page on Aspen Colorado without serious reference of what makes it such a unique place: how incredibly rich the population (especially touring population) is? It should really be mentioned that Aspen has become synonoymous with excessive wealth and egoism in this country, as shown in such films as Dumb and Dumber, and by the number of people like Kenneth Lay and Abramoff (I think) who've had houses there. Also, The Aspen Institute, Aspen Music Festival, and Aspen Film Festival should definitely be mentioned. Also, it could be mentioned that the world's most expensive house is there, I think (I bet the top five), some behemoth for which the land itself cost $125 million I think. At any rate, in an attempt at objectivity, I suppose, the wealth issue here seems to have been completely ignored.
