We recently stumbled upon a Yelp thread from back in 2010 entitled “Why Is Everyone Moving to Denver?” Most of those responding to it were either surprised by the influx of folks from around the country who were relocating to the Mile High City or understood how great Denver is…
Denver blog posts are affectionate — really. Check out one of the most viewed posts on our Arts blog: Amber Taufen’s list of the six most annoying types of old school ravers. Colorado Pols: The Jeffco school board recall gets very ugly very fast. Coyote Gulch on steady progress over…
Back in October 2014, when the Colorado Rockies finally said goodbye to longtime general manager Dan O’Dowd, we wondered if the change would make any difference given that Dick Monfort still owns the team. Unfortunately, the 2015 season demonstrated that Rockies fans like us were right to have our doubts…
A new Gallup poll found that 58 percent of respondents supported legalizing marijuana. That matches the highest number ever in a Gallup survey; 58 percent also backed the concept in 2013. Why have so many Americans concluded that legalizing cannabis is the way to go? One marijuana activist thinks the success…
In August, we told you about Go Topless Fort Collins, a “Free the Nipple” campaign to goad the Fort Collins City Council into removing the line “the breast or breasts of a female” from its public-indecency ordinance. Then, earlier this month, we updated you on a public survey about the…
Back in May, we shared a collection of twelve amazing vintage ads and more from The Denver Eye, a 2015 Best of Denver award winner whose Tom Lundin regularly celebrates the Mile High City’s glorious past through photos, words and fascinating artifacts.

Back in June, we told you about a new federal policy intended to make medical marijuana research easier to accomplish — the removal of what was known as the Public Health Service review, which privately funded marijuana researchers had to pass before being allowed to move ahead with their studies…
A reader recently argued that Big Pharma is responsible for the influx of heroin in Colorado. His belief: Pharmaceutical companies have been pushing opiate-based pain killers, and when doctors cut off patients, they turn to heroin supplied by Mexican cartels looking to make up for the money they’ve been losing…
Denver blog posts have a healthy respect for good Mexican food. At our Food & Drink blog, Patricia Calhoun reveals the impending closure of Rosa Linda’s Mexican Cafe after just over thirty years. Denver Infill’s Ryan Dravitz shares part one of the page’s final 1601 Wewatta Project update. Did you…
Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders may be sick of hearing about Hillary Clinton’s damned e-mails, as he memorably announced during a recent debate — but the controversy shows no signs of going away. That’s especially true in light of a new Complete Colorado report detailing documents that appear…
To date, the reports about the arrest of Sabrina Davis have been vague. They simply state that Davis is accused of having sexual exploitative material on her cell phone involving a nine-year-old family member and another six-year-old boy. But the alleged content of those images, as detailed in a probable…
Estately, the website that revealed the top ten cities for douchebags (including two in Colorado) is back with a timely list: “The Costume Ideas Each State Googles More Than Any Other State.” Findings are based on a whopping eleven years of Google Trends data. The results are both fun and…
After eking out their latest miracle victory against the Cleveland Browns, the Denver Broncos have a 6-0 record going into a bye week, setting up one of the most anticipated games of the 2015-2016 season to date: a match-up against the also-undefeated Green Bay Packers. The face-off will be at…
Montreal’s Ought, which headlines the Larimer Lounge on October 23, has only released two full-lengths to date: 2014’s More Than Any Other Day and this year’s Sun Coming Down. But it’s already won more rapturous reviews than plenty of bands that have been around for decades — although such raves tend…
It’s been nearly two years since Colorado legalized limited recreational marijuana sales, yet obvious pot spoofs tied to the state continue to go viral. The latest: a satirical claim that a couple of McDonald’s in the state have converted their play areas to cannabis smoking sections. As we’ve reported, the confusion…
Our post about the approval of rates for the new toll lanes on part of I-70 generated some strong reactions among readers. One reason: The top price, which had previously been announced as $30, will actually cost drivers $40 thanks to a $10 surcharge. Plenty of folks feel the fees…
Denver blog posts don’t let death stop them. The folks at our Arts blog collect many of the best photos from the 2015 Denver Zombie Crawl on the 16th Street Mall. Colorado Peak Politics exults, “Debategate Deflated: On Your Marks, Get Set, Drink!” Mile High Report’s Kyle Montgomery quotes Broncos…
This morning, the Colorado Springs Police Department formally identified the woman who died in an October 16 homicide as 32-year-old Fawn Christine Gianes. However, the victim’s sister, Krystal Wielichowski, asked KRDO-TV in the Springs to refer to her by her maiden name and put the word “Gianes” in parentheses. “She’s a Wielichowski,”…
Over recent years, there have been a distressing number of hit-and-run accidents involving cyclists in the area, with far too many of them having fatal consequences. Fortunately, the worst didn’t happen to 54-year-old Mark Mihelic. He’s expected to survive, even though his injuries are frightful. 9News reports that Mihelic suffered a severe concussion, internal…
The date on your phone says it’s 2015 — but there are plenty of men out there who continue to lag a century or two behind the times. A prime example: The antagonist of the following post, shared on Boulder Craigslist, who casually pawed a woman’s backside at a local…
The Broncos could just as easily be 0-6 as 6-0. In fact, the former seems more likely than the latter given how miserable Denver’s offense has looked in the 2015-2016 season to date. Yet the Broncos’ defense is so off-the-charts incredible that on Sunday, Denver managed to eke out a…
