A lot’s changed since July 2013, when we published our previous post highlighting the six most expensive homes for sale in Denver, as featured on The Home Cart website. Of that half-dozen properties, four are now gone, and one that remains has had its price reduced by nearly half-a-million clams…
Update: Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve told you about the efforts to reopen Red Mountain Pass, which has been closed to unfettered traffic since January 12, when falling rocks smashed onto Highway 550 south of Ouray, with others on the cliff side dangerously close to following…
Yesterday at about this time, we told you about the fourth death at a Colorado resort during the current ski season — a 46-year-old man who died after crashing into a tree at Keystone. Little did we know at the time that a fifth skier had also lost his life:…
As we’ve noted, official tourism agencies in Colorado continue to keep marijuana at arm’s length, as it were. For instance, a VISIT DENVER list of things the city has in common with Seattle, released prior to the Super Bowl, somehow managed to skip legal pot entirely. Not that the media…
This week’s cover story, “Mind Games,” takes a look at what happens when accused killers plead insanity in Colorado — just as Aurora theater shooting gunman James Holmes has done. That case is still working its way through the court system; a trial scheduled for this month was postponed because…

Melanie Asmar’s post about a report that found landlord bias against blacks, Latinos and families stirred up a lot of conversation among our readers. Some believed the results, while some doubted them. This reader falls into the latter category…
More than a week after the Broncos’ Super Bowl loss to Seattle, plenty of fans are still sensitive to the size and scope of the defeat. An example? At this writing, one of the five most viewed posts on the Colorado Springs Gazette website is an article from Las Vegas…
Colleges and universities in Colorado and other states where industrial hemp is legal are now allowed to grow the crop for research purposes, thanks to a provision in the Farm Bill signed into law on Friday by President Obama.

The story told in the arrest affidavit of Denver’s Kristen Rose Smith is so bizarre that it seems more like fiction than fact. But authorities in Wisconsin stand by their account, which states that Smith faked a pregnancy, kidnapped Kayden Powell, the days-old baby of her half-sister, and then left…
Last May, we posted about a University of Colorado study that found May-December couples are seldom rich or hot. Afterward, Brandon Wade, CEO of Seeking Arrangement, billed as “the world’s largest Sugar Daddy website,” offered a rebuttal. His sugar daddies are rich and hot, he insisted. Now, Seeking Arrangement has…
On January 14, we reported about the tragic death of Sean Teater, the third official ski-resort casualty of the season.

We’ve got details about his sad passing, including videos,…

Colorado Pols on the the tightening race facing Senator Mark Udall. Mile High Hockey’s Steve House offers an Avs-centric Olympics hockey preview…
Here’s an example of schmucky logic: A person who was just robbed will have to replace the items taken — so why not swipe stuff from someone and then sell it back to him or her? After all, you know they need it. Answer: Because the guy or gal will…
Joel Hunt’s hero Peyton Manning once told him, “Just play well, and the scoreboard will speak for itself.” Denver’s Hunt has done just that: After three Iraq deployments that left him with post-traumatic stress disorder, a traumatic brain injury and a paralyzed left leg, he got on skis for first…
Ashley Weber is a quadriplegic who lives with her young son, Collin, in a house whose rent she can afford due to a Section 8 housing voucher courtesy of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. But in December 2012, after revealing that she uses medical marijuana for pain…
While Cyler Miles, one of the most highly recruited prep athletes from Colorado in recent years, may be enrolled at the University of Washington, he remains a Broncos fan. However, his apparent dismay over the team’s humiliating Super Bowl loss to Seattle may have put his UW career at risk…
While actual marijuana buds probably weren’t anything new to most non-medical cannabis consumers when the sale of recreational pot became legal on January 1, the huge variety of edible forms must have been an eye-opener for many longtime stoners accustomed to only the occasional batch of pot brownies.
