When Dan Maes isn’t comparing himself to the heroic Serpico, he’s linking Tom Tancredo to loony “Uncle Fester” of The Addams Family — a label he first offered Denver Magazine, and repeated last week on KOA. But if Tancredo is Uncle Fester, who is Maes?…

On a Labor Day detour from DIA, we spent a few hours wandering around the Shops at Northfield — with time out for the Mexican Cobb salad at La Sandia, Richard Sandoval’s restaurant there, one of several eateries in the development that could use more traffic. It was a much…
