A recent Ask a Stoner column concerned classes for pot newbies. Among the responses we received was one from a dispensary employee who’s had a lot of experience with people with varying levels of marijuana knowledge. Most irritating, though, are folks, many of them visitors, who think they know more…
Denver blog posts are getting better all the time. At our Music blog, Jon Solomon offers a photo tour of the Marquis Theater’s upgrades. Ken Schroeppel celebrates Denver Infill’s tenth anniversary by recalling the site’s most viewed post ever. The Colorado Independent’s Susan Greene asks: “What’s the Plan in the…
If you’re among the loyal subscribers to the Denver Post’s print edition, you probably noticed that there are fewer sections in today’s paper than there used to be — even last week. That’s because the Monday and Tuesday print Posts have undergone some shrinkage, from three sections to two. However,…
The daughter of Kathleen and Kenny Sanchez may be alive today because Kenny hit her in public when she was three-years-old. This may sound like a strange statement, but the facts of the case, as spelled out in an arrest affidavit on view below, provide a strong argument for it…
We love Colorado pride around here. But we’re even more fond of showing it in a slightly unusual way — which is why, just a little over a year ago, we shared a post featuring out-of-the-ordinary Colorado symbol T-shirts. Fortunately, there are more where those came from, as a visit…
It was a grisly discovery. Patricia Richmond, 23, was found dead at a home owned by her future in-laws in Routt County, not far from Steamboat Springs. She was tied up and face down — and at this writing. At this writing, it’s unclear how Richmond died. But as those…
The topic of high rent prices in Denver continues to be one of the hottest topics among our readers. A recent Comment of the Day in which a reader argued that the pricey rent will cause the real estate bubble to burst is a case in point. A post offering four…

Last month, we told you about the Limited Social Marijuana Consumption Initiative, a proposal that would allow businesses to provide an area for people 21 and over to consume marijuana within the Denver city limits. The City of Denver has now approved the final language for the measure — read…
Any close observer of the Denver retail marijuana scene has no doubt noticed the proliferation of chain pot shops at the expense of individual or standalone dispensaries, often referred to as “Mom and Pops.” One reason, according to attorney Nick Richards, is aggressive auditing being conducted at the state and…
In 2008, the Denver Post published an article set at East Colfax’s Sand & Sage under the banner “Families Reach Last-Stop Motel.” Sadly, this headline proved to be prophetic in the case of a woman in her twenties. She’s dead and the person who shot her is on the loose at this writing. Here’s…
During the run-up to July 4 a couple of years ago, we shared some amazing ads spotlighting weird and/or offensive fireworks from days gone by from a collection curated by FireworksLand.com. A return trip to the site reveals another treasure trove of images — a gallery of antique fireworks postcards…
“Brett Ryan Mosher is 27 years-old and is a Parker resident.” He was arrested by the Parker Police Department for “Soliciting for Child Prostitution after engaging in communication with the intent to engage in sexual acts with a child.” “Also as a part of the April operation effort, 31 year-old…
We regularly receive interesting comments, memorable comments, pointed comments, passionate comments and hilarious comments. But it’s not often that a comment manages to combine all of these qualities. Fortunately, one that fits this last description was shared on our recent post about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage…
Denver blogs generally like whatever Taylor Swift likes. At our Music blog, Isa Jones argues that it’s time to take Ed Sheeran seriously. Excellent Colorado Peak Politics headline: “BUG OUT! Chinese Wasps to Battle the Ash Borer for Supremacy in Boulder.” Roundball Mining Company’s Colin Deaver addresses the Denver Nuggets’…
It sounds a bit like the Dave Chappelle sketch about a blind white supremacist who doesn’t realize he’s actually black. But according to police, it actually happened in Colorado Springs. That’s where members of a historically black church have been terrorized for weeks by racist messages referencing the Klu Klux Klan…

Back in March, we told you about the arrest of Sky Wodraska. The Breckenridge man was busted for attempted murder, assault, kidnapping and child abuse, with one of the victims being a fourteen-year-old girl who reportedly greeted the officer who rescued her after being stabbed with these words: “Don’t let…
Pity the folks behind the MSU Denver Confession Facebook page. They tried for over a year to get the page going, with a stated goal of rivaling or surpassing the biggest page of its type in the area, CU Boulder Confessions. But alas, the mission failed: The last post went…
The flooding that took place in Boulder County in 2013 wasn’t expected to repeat itself anytime soon — and thus far, it hasn’t. However, our recent wet spell has resulted in several Colorado rivers to flood on a smaller scale, and waters are running high enough to be more dangerous…
Over the past few years, one state after another has blamed Colorado’s marijuana laws for endangering its citizens — and prompting cannabis crackdowns within its borders. We’ve posted about alleged pot profiling in Kansas and Wyoming, accompanied by assertions that Colorado is likely the source of the weed. And, of course,…
In recent days, a December post about micro-apartments in the old Hotel VQ building renting for nearly $1,000 even though they’re around 330 square feet went viral again. Why? Likely due to reports such as this one about how quickly they’re filling up despite the big bucks required to reserve such a space…
