We love the Broncos; we bleed orange; we have season tickets. But we just can’t quite muster enough righteous indignation to be angry about the Joe Flacco signs that went up around Denver last week, infuriating so many. Sportscaster Vic Lombardi pretended to be so upset about it that he…
Camera phones are now so prevalent that when something happens, there’s a good chance it’ll be captured from multiple angles. That was the case in a spectacular car explosion in Colorado Springs yesterday. A vehicle, rear-ended near Highway 115 and Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard, was already aflame when a secondary blast…
Dear Stoner: I know that smoking marijuana openly isn’t legal anywhere, but what if I’m parked in my RV at a campsite with the windows rolled up and nobody can see me? Would that be legal? Pot Smokey the Bear Dear Bear: I like where your head is at, but…
One of the real surprises of the response to the state’s rebranding effort is the affection that Coloradans feel for the state flag — even if Aaron Kennedy, the state’s chief marketing officer, says the flag design didn’t test well outside of the state, with many people assuming it stood…
In Denver, condominiums are an endangered species. Their habitat — the empty lots and abandoned widget factories that serve as fertile ground for urban infill projects — has been overrun with for-rent apartments, a breed of housing that looks similar to condos but attracts a different sort of inhabitant to…
“The Dark Wall,” Brantley Hargrove, August 29 Storm Warnings Storm chaser/thrill seeker = non-story. The man was trying to make a “comeback” and died trying. Most of the “readings” he got didn’t require driving into a tornado path. Sorry, he’s not a hero — just someone trying to keep his…
We love the Broncos; we bleed orange; we have season tickets. But we just can’t quite muster enough righteous indignation to be angry about the Joe Flacco signs that went up around Denver last week, infuriating so many people. Sportscaster Vic Lombardi pretended to be so upset about it that…
Boulder City Council members gave initial approval to newly created medical and recreational marijuana rules at last night’s meeting, picking up where they left off months ago after voting to delay rule-making until after statewide regulations had been laid out. According to the draft posted in the council agenda, most…
Patricia Calhoun’s posts about the new state logo, not to mention a slogan (“It’s our nature”) that’s uncomfortably close to Cabela’s, have led to a lot of debate among our readers, most of whom give the new “Peak” logo a thumbs-down. Here’s a typical reaction…
Denver blog posts are wagering-free zones. South Stands Denver’s Colin Daniels thinks the Denver-Baltimore game tomorrow night is a must-win for the Broncos even though it’s only week one. Big Media’s Jason Salzman on an election chief to watch. Denver Urbanism’s Ryan Dravitz on redaptive reuse for the Burnsley at…
Colorado State University has gone video crazy. Just days ago, CSU shared a clip of mascot Cam the Ram training for the Rocky Mountain Showdown — which didn’t really work out, given the CU Buffs surprisingly comfortable win. Now, the school has released what it describes as an “artistic video”…
Yesterday, we documented four recent officer-involved shootings in the metro area. Then, a few hours after the post was published, the 17th Judicial District DA’s office released a decision letter regarding a fifth — a May incident during which Joe Manuel Flores III, seen here, was hit in the leg…
The Justice Department’s decision not to sue Colorado over Amendment 64 was greeted as good news by its co-author and received mixed but mainly positive reviews from assorted politicians and marijuana advocates. But the prize for the most unusual response goes to Colorado Representative Cory Gardner, who’s written to U.S…
Our crime coverage during the month of August has truly run the gamut. Included are photos of two notable Denver celebs caught in law’s trap, as well as images of people accused of bizarre offenses (like the guy who declared that “all raccoons must die”) and those who allegedly committed…
Why should you take part in tonight’s Denver Cruiser’s ride, Mascots & Major League? If our photo galleries for themes like the Woodstock ride, County Fair, Dress Night, Tourist Night, Where the Bleep is Waldo?, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Bible Belts and Panties, Thrift Shop Fashion Show, Glow, Halloween in…
Last week, the U.S. Justice Department finally announced that it would not sue to stop Colorado’s Amendment 64 from going into effect. Afterward, politicians and reformers alike shared their thoughts — but in subsequent days, some of the latter shared misgivings about elements of the feds’ memo regarding ongoing marijuana…
We got a lot of interesting reaction to a post in which I shared my first-ever experience firing a gun, using an AR-15 at a local shooting range. Among those weighing in were gun owners with some very strong thoughts about people who criticize firearms without ever having firing one…
Denver blog posts used the Labor Day weekend as a way to get ready for more labor. Colorado Peak Politics wants to know why the media hasn’t made more of House Minority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst’s quotes that appear to call the act of self-defense “absurd.” Colorado Pols wants to…
Colorado documentary-maker Brian Malone has taken on some big topics over the years, including the media in Breaking News and environmental dangers via Intelligent Life — not to mention the late, great Blinky the Clown. But his latest project — The Reformers, launching tonight in Parker — is among his…
While collecting the images we shared in our Tim Tebow cut memes post earlier today, we stumbled upon this graphic depiction of Mile High Stadium, complete with something new at midfield. Does it reveal the real secret to the Broncos’ success at home? Well, it didn’t do Von Miller any…
The Denver Police Department has not officially released the name of the woman killed in a wrong-way crash on Interstate 25 over the weekend — but she’s been identified by her friends and loved ones as Jenny Kush, a colorful, outspoken and much adored member of the local cannabis community…
Last week, we reported that eighteen-year-old Isabella Guzman had been formally charged with murder in the death of her mother in Aurora; see our previous coverage below. We’ve now obtained the arrest affidavit in the case, and the level of violence it recounts is absolutely shocking. The document, on view…
