Scan down for Denver blog posts. Predominantly Orange’s Kim Constantinesco presents a poster for a proposed new movie called Tim Tebow and the Order of Orton. Only one can survive! Denver Egotist introduces Denver Design Incubator. Colorado Independent’s Taran Volckhausen on a CU rally on behalf of legislation to allow…
William Breathes stopped into Mile High Dispensary’s Englewood branch on a whim — and the result is his latest review. But if you’d rather get info about a place before you drop in, stop first at our newly updated MMJ listings. Click here to access our medical-marijuana dispensary directory…
Mile High Dispensary was a random stop. I had driven down to Littleton only to find I had the wrong address for another club. Frustrated at my stoner-moment, I made my way back north up Broadway through Englewood and turned in…
At 1:30 p.m. today, the public can comment on HB 1043, a medical marijuana bill described as a cleanup measure of last year’s bill by its co-sponsors, Senator Pat Steadman and Representative Tom Massey. But the Cannabis Therapy Institute’s Laura Kriho also plans to address HB 1250, a brand new…
There was a time when the United States government produced workplace posters warning citizens about the dangers of gossip, laziness and gonorrhea. The recent news story about Reprentative Cris Lee, R-NY, reminds that it may be time to start the printing presses in an effort to warn congress people about…
Yesterday, a judge rejected arguments made in a lawsuit opposing an Air Force Academy prayer luncheon. The 11:30 a.m. event is underway at this writing. But while Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a plaintiff in the suit, is disappointed by the ruling, he feels that simply having…
Why is there an adversarial relationship between some medical marijuana backers and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment? An incident this morning demonstrates why. Because the start time for an MMJ advisory committee meeting underwent a last-minute switch from 9 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., the public comments period…
Our post about allegations that Anthony Garcia put semen in a woman’s yogurt has prompted readers to post some of the grossest jokes ever, as well as prompting questions about whether most females could recognize the flavor of this extra ingredient. Answering that query is Brittanie Shey, who just happens…
Yesterday on the Metro State campus, the PJ Day Bed Race to End Homelessness provided a colorful contrast to all that white stuff on the ground, with Colin Burke Photography capturing the action. And there are many more PJ-oriented events to come. This evening is the 6th annual PJ Party…
In December, Denver City Council rejected a service-dog exemption to its longtime pit bull ban, despite a lawsuit claiming the rule breaks federal law. Aurora faced a similar dilemma, and while the city council is on the cusp of creating the same kind of exemption Denver rejected, one member is…
We don’t usually hear about folks accused of contributing to the delinquency of a minor — and at first blush, the charge against Jacquelyn Perea, who allegedly took a sixteen-year old to a party where alcohol and drugs were being used, and gave her marijuana, doesn’t seem especially newsworthy. But…
Yesterday, Carmelo Anthony told the Denver Post he would take a “hard look” at signing a Nuggets contract extension if he’s not dealt to the Knicks, the Lakers or someone else by the February 24 trade deadline. But is there really a scenario that could keep Melo a Nug? The…
One is the loneliest number, and now I’m not alone. Yesterday our sister paper, Seattle Weekly, ran the first of what will be a regular review by their very own dispensary critic, Steve Elliott. By my count, this means there are now a total of two people with “newspaper pot…
Update: Lakewood Police were able to identify the woman found in the parking lot of a Lakewood apartment complex at 5 a.m. this bitterly cold morning as Karen Marie Esquibel, 48. But while a Lakewood police spokesman was initially optimistic that she would survive, it was not to be. She…
So what if Secretary of State Bernie Buescher didn’t win re-election last November. In our book, he’s still the coolest cat at the Capitol for being the only Colorado candidate (and one of the few in the country) to advertise on Pandora Internet radio, a move that just scored him…
Update below: New stats show that 72.4 percent of Colorado high school students graduated “on time” in 2010. In other words, 72.4 percent of freshman who started high school in the fall of 2006 donned caps and gowns in the spring of 2010. But is this better or worse than…
Now serving: These three Denver blog posts. 5280’s Michael de Yoanna writes about Senator Brandon Shaffer’s idea to send sex solicitors to “johns school.” Really. Face the State’s Jared Jacang Maher: Can photo radar see legislators’ license plates? Who was the greatest Broncos player to wear number 2? According to…
Green Mountain Harvest’s Susan Chicovsky is proud of her status as owner of the first medical marijuana harvest and trim company to be fully compliant with Colorado regulations. But the process was neither easy nor inexpensive. She estimates that she’s spent $8,000 getting right with the state — a task…
This weekend, David Shefte, David Trainer and Kurt Heckle learned you can get ticketed for throwing snowballs in Aspen. Crazy? Maybe — but there were some extenuating circumstances, including the ages of the alleged attackers and the descriptive word they hurled at their victim after he dared to complain…
It pains my heart to see strained relationships. Why can’t everyone just get along? Since it’s the season of love, I’ve created Kenny Be Valentine’s cards, intended to calm the cantankerous and help bring impassioned parties together. Below, LaLa’s heartfelt offer of love to the citizens of Denver…..
Stephanie Rochester, the Superior mom who allegedly smothered her child due to autism fears, is back in the news; her husband is suing her for wrongful death. This week, one reader of our June 2010 post about this tragedy admits that she can relate to Rochester’s anxiety, though not her…
Given how many people are running for Denver mayor, it’s a relief someone has said no. But interim mayor Bill Vidal’s latest statement that he won’t join the race was preceded by an e-mail to supporters sent when he was considering a bid — and its blunt language, including an…
