Picture Perfect Pueblo: The city, its chile, weather, art and fighting folk

This week's Picture Perfect Pueblo offers photos of Pueblo, its people and things it's famous for. From snow blanketing the paperboy and his dog outside the Chieftain's offices on Sixth Street, to a man fishing in the Arkansas River in the golden tones of a winter afternoon and some of Pueblo's finest, we hope you enjoy these photos.
