Little Colorado Burg Goes Artsy

Paonia, Colorado may not know it yet, but it's one of 10 great destinations for second-home buyers who are artists. The Web site EscapeHomes lists Paonia, which is on the Western Slope of Colorado in the mountains, about an hour from Aspen, along with such well-known art towns as Santa Fe, NM and Ashland, OR. I know Paonia as the home of High Country News, a great Western environmental newspaper, but maybe galleries will soon be lining its streets.
