In a recent Comment of the Day, a reader maintained that since marijuana was legalized, every fast-food worker in Colorado is stoned. Some folks saw this take as humorous and responded in kind, as it were. Others, though, took the topic in a much more serious direction. Here’s an example…
Denver blog posts are the perfect match. At Westword Arts, Teague Bohlen counts down the six things that make Highland residents very, very mad. Denver Stiffs’ Zach Mikash tells the sad story of the Denver Nuggets’ latest loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Denver Egotist: “Frequently Robbed Store Offers Robber Rewards” —…
Tom Moore, a nurse who’s been employed by numerous medical facilities in northern Colorado (and a couple in other states), has been arrested for unlawful sexual contact. But the case against him is far from over. Police in Fort Collins note that multiple women say he touched them in a…
This past July, we published a post detailing twenty Denver homicides during the first half of 2015. In it, we noted that the total, while disturbing, was also fairly typical. There were twenty Denver homicides during the first half of 2012 and 22 in the first six months of 2013…
This season (as is typical for Colorado), the weather has been far from static. We’ve had cold temperatures one day, unseasonably warm ones the next. As a result, ice-covered bodies of water are particularly risky right now. But understanding that doesn’t alleviate the shock associated with the story of Cole…
You’ve got to hand it to Burke O’Connell. The New England Patriots fan was so sure Tom Brady and the Pats were going to defeat the Broncos in the AFC championship this past Sunday, and then go on to victory two weeks later, that last Friday, he got a tattoo…
Whether it’s officially acknowledged or not, marijuana has long been part of the X Games. But with X Games 2016 slated to take place January 28-31, Aspen and Snowmass Village are taking very different approaches toward pot events. The latest version of an Aspen party that turned heads last year…
As Patricia Calhoun reported, Denver City Councilwoman Debbie Ortega has asked for additional time to review the results of an almost thirteen-year study analyzing transportation alternatives for the heavily congested I-70 corridor from I-25 to Tower Road. The post didn’t inspire many fans to speak out in the plan’s favor…
Denver blog posts could go for a Double-Double right now. Westword Food & Drink features a reader debate about whether In-N-Out Burger is overrated or the food of the gods. Mile High Report’s Scotty Payne celebrates Von Miller, difference-maker in the Broncos’ AFC championship game win. Denver PR notes that competitors…
As we noted in our coverage of a Craigslist-related Make My Day shooting in Littleton that that left one man dead, pre- and post-game coverage of the Broncos’ AFC championship game win overwhelmed coverage of many other newsworthy events this past weekend. Another example: a shooting near an RTD park and…
Denver typically does very well in attempts to determine the fittest American cities. But apparently, being fit and being active are two distinctly different things. The city finished fourth in the 2014 American Fitness Institute study. And in the following year’s AFI survey, Denver came in at number six. But…
References to 24-year-old CU Boulder student Merissa Hirneisen on the university’s website are impressive. She’s listed as an international affairs major, and she served as a student assistant for the 2013 Conference on World Affairs (her LinkedIn profile says she handled this task from 2009 to 2014) and an assistant editor for Occasions…
As we noted last week, Twitter Nation thought Peyton Manning couldn’t beat Tom Brady in Sunday’s AFC championship game. And neither did our own Brian Badzmierowski, whose post on the topic was headlined TOM BRADY, PATRIOTS WILL KICK BRONCOS’ ASS AND HERE’S WHY. Well, surprise, surprise. The Broncos’ defense was absolutely stellar,…
The comments keep rolling in for Patricia Calhoun’s post about the ten things to expect when your state legalizes marijuana. Some of the takes have been serious. Others have been hilarious. This one falls into the latter category — although, depending upon your experiences at fast-food restaurants over the past…
Denver blog posts take it to the limit. At Westword Music, Katie Moulton answers the following question: “Why was Glenn Frey always wearing CU T-shirts?” The Colorado Independent’s Susan Greene offers her take on the Michael Lee Marshall video. Big Media’s Jason Salzman examines efforts to get Mike Coffman to talk…
As we’ve reported, negotiations are ongoing between marijuana reformers, business interests and officials to allow social marijuana use in Denver. But last week, Mason Tvert, a proponent of a social cannabis-use measure that was withdrawn from the 2015 ballot in order to allow these talks to get underway, made it…
We recently shared video showing the jailhouse death of Michael Lee Marshall. The homeless man, who suffered from symptoms associated with paranoid schizophrenia, choked on his own vomit after being restrained by Denver deputies in a November 2015 incident the city coroner’s office has labeled a homicide. It’s a shocking…
Yesterday, we published our latest collection of Tom Brady hate memes. Which got us to wondering: Is there anyone else on Brady’s New England Patriots who inspires that sort of passion among fans of the Denver Broncos, who’ll be facing off against the squad this weekend in the AFC championship…
We recently shared our latest collection of passive-aggressive notes from Colorado as featured on the PassiveAggressiveNotes.com website. But there’s plenty of passive-aggressiveness at other online destinations. As evidence, check out “To the driver whose way I so rudely blocked,” recently shared on the Denver Craigslist Rants & Raves section on…
Man, did our Brian Badzmierowski piss off a lot of people with his ten reasons why Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will kick the Broncos’ ass on Sunday in the AFC championship game. And he wasn’t the only one slammed by readers. Also taking a battering was Westword, for…
It’s among the most bizarre attacks on a public figure in recent memory — the broad-daylight stabbing of Denver Fire Department Chief Eric Tade while he was sitting in his SUV at a busy intersection. And while Tade has been at the center of controversy in recent years — critics…
Yesterday, we told you about the death of Conifer’s Kelsey Hauser. The 25-year-old former bartender at Red Rocks was shot and killed while riding in a stolen car that became the target of a police chase in southern California, as was a pit bull also inside the vehicle. The car’s driver,…
