As our Sam Levin has documented, Denver is on its way to setting an all-time bike accident record — and his posts on the subject have fired up readers with a preference for two wheels over four, and vice versa. Of course, many of us are both riders and drivers,…
U.S. Attorney John Walsh has sent out two waves of closure-threat letters to medical marijuana dispensaries near schools — and his spokesman reveals that a third wave is coming.

Seldom has a single line in a police report summed up the entire document as does a quote attributed to Clifford Garel in the probable cause statement below: “I beat the shit out of my mom.” Said mother is 84 years old, by the way. And Garel doesn’t appear to…
I’ve always been impressed with the way the Cannabis Station took over an old automobile service station without forgetting its past. For example, the old sign out front that once displayed prices for gallons of diesel now shows prices for ounces of Sour Diesel. And an artist has incorporated a…
On November 1, Alex Martinez traded his spot in the Colorado State Supreme Court to become Denver’s sixth manager of safety in slightly more than a year. He has spoken publicly about his priorities for the position, which center on renewing public trust in the Denver Police Department and his…
For a lesson in living large, look no further than Peyton Manning’s new Cherry Hills Village digs, a modest 16,000-square-feet pied-à-terre, snapped up for a mere $4.57 million. But a new documentary from a Colorado couple, charting their quest to build their dream home — all 125 square feet of…
Ana Vasquez says she tried to explain to the police officers that it was her boyfriend who’d abused her, and not the other way around. She had a broken finger to prove it: In the midst of an argument that turned physical, her boyfriend trapped her fingers between his and…
Denver blog posts make the most of every situation. Denver Egotist reveals that Bill Murray will crash a local party next month. Wha? Denver Infill’s Ryan Dravitz gives us a look at the under-construction Denargo Market Apartments project. Denver Frank asks this question after touting the ‘Merica Burger, which is…
A poll released yesterday by a pro-Obama organization shows that voters, well, generally like the President more than Republican challenger Mitt Romney across five key swing states. And breaking down the data further shows that folks in Colorado appear to support Obama and dislike Romney at percentages higher than the…
Rory O’Rourke thinks traditional dating sites are too static. “You talk about yourself or fill out a bunch of survey questions, and throughout your experience online, you don’t change that,” says O’Rourke, who works in software. “Everybody says they like to travel but nobody updates their page with what trips…
Update: In response to requests from some groups to extend the public comment period for the proposal to increase water storage at Chatfield Reservoir — a project that’s raised several environmental concerns, as detailed in the original story below — the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has just announced a…
Update: Over the next few months, dozens of General Electric employees in Colorado will face layoffs as part of the company’s controversial plan to put a much-anticipated solar manufacturing plant on hold for at least eighteen months. Since news broke last week about GE’s plans to delay an Aurora facility,…
Yesterday, we recapped presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s trip to Colorado, during which he labeled President Barack Obama the “outsourcer in chief” amid claims Romney did likewise during his business career. This I’m-rubber-you’re-glue tack left one reader wondering what Mitt’s next bold assertion might be……
Scott Kramer, husband of the year? Not if the accusations made against him in an arrest affidavit on view below prove true. According to the document, he not only threatened to kill his soon-to-be-former spouse’s new boyfriend, but he also torched her wedding dress and photo albums…
Amendment 64, the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act, has arguably received more attention than any other pro-pot ballot measure in the U.S. But there’s a similar proposal in Washington, and one could soon be approved for this year’s election in Oregon. Could these efforts hurt fundraising for Amendment 64? A…
Yesterday, we told you about Jesse Evans, an alleged child pornographer — and unfortunately, he’s got plenty of apparent peers. The Colorado Internet Crimes Against Children website assembles photos and descriptions of accused creepazoids from across the state — most of them white men, with only a few exceptions (there’s…
Back in March, we shared photos of mansions that could have been Peyton Manning’s new Denver home. Instead of moving into one of them, he temporarily bunked in Mike Shanahan’s old place. But now, TMZ reports that he’s purchased a 16,000 square foot Cherry Hills Village pad for a bargain…
Last night’s ESPY awards were a reminder to Broncos fans about the bizarre nature of the Tim Tebow era. He appeared multiple times in the friggin’ intro (including a brief Tebowing montage), was the first athlete on the stage (for a gag with host Rob Riggle), returned to be the…
Update: Last week, when Colorado Springs Police Department spokeswoman Barbara Miller told us that Waldo Canyon fire evacuees had been victimized by 22 burglaries and sixteen car break-ins, she stressed that the numbers could go up as authorities got more access to the blaze zone. And have they ever. The…
In 2010, the Colorado Legislature outlined rules for the medical marijuana industry in this state with the passage of House Bill 1284. But vague language about patient plant limits could be putting at least two medical marijuana center owners in jeopardy of felony prosecution…
