Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!


Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

Tiny restaurant -vs- minivan



On the northeast corner of Cimarron and Sierra Madre sits a diner that's been there for generations. It's just about the size of a Winnebago -- maybe three or four people can fit in there max. The place is an institution. For a long time it was known as the Chuck Stop but something tragic happened there a couple of years ago (I think the owner died right there on the job -- I can't quite remember now). Anyway, since then it's been operating as Mr. B's Barbecue. This building is miniscule and it's really cute and vintage, the real deal. I've always wanted to check it out but now it seems like I may not ever have the chance! That's because earlier this month, a lady in a minivan somehow managed to crash into it, knocking it off its foundation (yes it's that tiny!) and effectively destroying the place.



I was curious so I dropped by there the other day to have a look. It's in pretty sad shape! I guess the minivan won. I suppose the good news with tiny buildings is that it's not as expensive to fix damage from marauding minivans as it would be with a more elaborate structure. If they ever get this place back up and running again, I'm definitely going to follow through and have a sandwich there.
