Diving Lady sign on 6th Ave. will get a facelift

The clock started as soon as the City Council revised a sign code June 28 to allow restoration of battered and rusting historic signs.

It was more like a stopwatch for Downtown’s most prominent historic sign – the diving lady at the Pueblo Hotel & Apartments office building, 145 S. Sixth Ave.

You’d think getting to work on the diving lady the next day would be pretty fast.

The restored Diving Lady sign will be the "cherry" on top of a revitalized 6th Ave.
