Meet a Westsider:
Cretee Nemmer

Profession/Occupation... owner of All That Glitters Fine Jewelry in Old Colorado City.

What I like most about the Westside is... the charm of Old Colorado City and the wonderful people who live here.

If I could change anything about the Westside, it would be... I would love to see more art galleries on the avenue and no parking meters!

A good movie I’ve seen recently is... “Monster.” Charlize Theron’s performance was truly outstanding.

The worst advice I’ve ever gotten was... sit quietly and always be a good girl.

If I could meet someone famous, I’d like to meet... Arnold Schwarzenegger. His many accomplishments inspire me!

The next time I travel, I’m going to... Europe with my daughter, Shannon. Italy would be my dream destination. My sons promised to take me there when they were about 7 and 9 years old.

My favorite childhood memory is... crawfishing at my grandmother’s place with my brothers and cousins.

My favorite fall pastime is... walking the trails in the Garden of the Gods.

Something good I’ve read is.. the Psalms and Proverbs – lots of good stuff there.

My pet peeve is... constant negativity in the news. I’m tired of hearing what’s wrong with Americans. I think we’re pretty fabulous!

If I won the lottery, I’d... buy my kids anything they want!
