When the old Colorado judicial center at Broadway and 14th was imploded last Sunday, it left a cloud of dust in the air — and a lingering question from those who remembered that the building’s massive mural by Angelo di Benedetto could not be saved because it was created on…
Don’t mess with octogenarians. That’s a lesson that Scott McInnis learned when he threw his 82-year-old “Musings on Water” collaborator under a bus, and it sounds like 83-year-old Freda Poundstone is about to give Dan Maes a swift kick with her sensible shoes this morning…
Now that Dan Maes has rejected Tom Tancredo’s final offer that they both withdraw and let the Republican Party pick a new gubernatorial candidate, the race is really on — and Tancredo has confirmed that he may be looking for a new running mate. The most intriguing name to surface?…

Peter Yesawich, one of the country’s top travel experts, stopped off in Denver yesterday long enough to offer a six-month forecast to a gathering of Visit Denver members. The bad news? Only 35 percent of the people recently polled on “dream destinations” — places in the United States they’ve never…
John Hickenlooper’s first TV ad is out, and it’s just as wacky as the ad that really revved up his run for Denver mayor seven years ago, which showed him suiting up for the campaign. This time, the candidate again goes through several wardrobe changes — all of which wind…
Great Scotts Eatery, which pays homage to ’50s diners, will pay homage to another good cause today: CASA, an organization that provides court-appointed special advocates for kids in Broomfield and Adams counties.

While other Republicans are starting to cozy up to Dan Maes, there’s no love lost between the Republican gubernatorial candidate and Tom Tancredo, now running for governor on the American Constitution ticket. Tancredo, who’s on KHOW right now, just gave his tax returns to Peter Boyles — authorizing him to…
Update below: As big-name Republicans begin to rally ’round gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes — former senators Hank Brown and Wayne Allard signed on yesterday — any GOP hopes of Maes stepping aside evaporates.

Cafe Society served up six Guess where? contests last week, featuring everything from pork buns at Pho on 6th to a cocktail at Bistro One (a restaurant in the middle of some major changes) to a soothing watermelon salad at Interstate Kitchen + Bar. For identifying that first, Nic wins…
Dan Maes is about to make his first big move as the official Republican Party candidate for governor — and no, it’s not getting out of the race, as all those official Republican Party officials are still hoping, or complaining to the Denver Post about unfair coverage. It’s picking his…

The playbook in which John Elway makes a run for Colorado governor may not be mythical. That’s according to one person who commented on yesterday’s “John Elway for Governor?” post. The claim: A polling firm actually asked about that possibility a few weeks ago…
“Is there anything we can do to win the governor’s race?” asked registered Republican Jon Caldara, moaning and grabbing what would be his hair, during yesterday’s taping of Devil’s Advocate (the show airs tomorrow on Channel 12). Well, yes, I told him: You can convince John Elway, the state’s biggest…
