Colorado Springs may live in Denver's shadow, but some great stuff has happened in Colorado's second city. Whose mysterious experimental lab once existed there?

Tesla's lab opened in 1899, and he soon earned a reputation with the residents of Colorado Springs, since his experiments would send surges of power through the city, which often caused blackouts and other ill effects. Just 5 years after it opened, his lab was torn down because he was derelict with rent. Today, a plaque sits at the north edge of Memorial Park commemorating Tesla.
