At this writing, news about the death of Prince Rogers Nelson is still being digested by stunned, shattered fans across the globe — including this one. But while I cherish the memory of the one time I caught His Purpleness live (in 1997, at Fiddler’s Green), the memory that sticks with me most…
Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey has faced criticism for his regular decisions not to criminally charge police in officer-involved shootings. The latest example: Morrissey has deemed the killing of car thief Chan Lieth this past December as justified even though the officers involved — Teresa Fields and Josh Stuteville —…
There are plenty of great things about living in Denver. But one of the few negatives involves cellphone service — which most of us think is terrible. Yes, we know: Service is such a challenge in these parts is due in part to our proximity to the mountains — among…
Drive-ins are supposed to be a thing of the past. But not according to the folks at Blue Starlite Mini Urban Drive-In, a hipster attraction that got its start in Austin before branching out to Miami. And now, Blue Starlite is coming to Minturn, in the Vail Valley — and…
In a January post, we noted that four Colorado cities were listed among the thirty most active in a survey from HealthGrove. And while activity doesn’t always translate to thinness, it apparently has in this case. WalletHub recently set out to rank the fattest cities in America — but in…
Earlier this month, we told you about a stabbing on the 16th Street Mall. The incident raised fears of increasing violence along the iconic strip, which was the setting for a string of troubling incidents last summer. Included among them was an attack on a tourist after he complained about…
The number of attendees at Wednesday’s 4/20 gathering at Civic Center Park was much smaller than in recent years, likely owing to the lack of a musical headliner. A more elaborate 4/20 rally was canceled this past Saturday at the last minute “due to weather and circumstances beyond its control,” the event’s organizers…
This morning, we re-shared an evergreen post featuring ten Colorado answers to the question, “What’s the craziest place you’ve ever had sex?” Our readers definitely warmed to the subject.

In recent months, we’ve been reporting about Ralph Candelario, who was convicted of killing his wife, Pam Candelario, in Walsenburg after initially claiming that she was slain by intruders who also injured him. The Candelario case was featured this past Friday on Dateline NBC — and the impact of that national…
Coloradans are very familiar with the dangers of avalanches, which can (and often do) prove deadly. Back in February 2014, for example, we reported about six deaths from western avalanches in less than a week, including Colorado’s Ashleigh Cox. These risks are reinforced by a remarkable, newly posted video that…
We’re so accustomed to Denver landing on positive lists — just last month, U.S. News & World Report named the Mile High City the best place to live in the country — that when our home registers poorly, it comes across as a shock. That’s certainly the case with the…

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has never been a fan of marijuana legalization in the state. The CDPHE has consistently adopted a downbeat philosophy when it comes to the impact of legal pot, with a February 2015 report standing is a perfect example. That document focused on pot-is-awful…
Our item about the postponement of the 4/20 rally at Civic Center Park, which was set to feature appearances by Wiz Khalifa and Lil Wayne, proved to be a conversation starter. As we noted, plenty of folks who shared their thoughts on the rally’s Facebook page were upset by the decision…
