Cannabis leaders and community members gathered on January 11 to discuss details for the roll-out of the voter-approved Initiative 300, which allows qualifying businesses to apply for cannabis consumption permits in Denver.
Usually, heavy snows in the mountains are good for ski areas, but this last week has proven that even when it comes to snowfalls and skiing, there can be too much of a good thing. A-Basin shut down on January 10 because of heavy snows and avalanche danger. A-Basin’s responsible decision-making (not only did it close on Tuesday, but it was only open for “limited skiing services” on Wednesday) raises the specter of avalanche danger in our state. It’s one of those things that no one likes to talk about, but that we sort of have to, to prevent disasters like the ones below, and do everything we can to ensure no more lives are lost.
Roger Armstrong, Capitol Hill United Neighborhood’s executive director for ten years, is stepping down, and last year, CHUN announced it would outsource production of the 2017 Capitol Hill People’s Fair, Denver’s oldest arts and music festival known for highlighting local nonprofits and businesses, to an event-planning company.

Our zip codes say a lot about our income level, whether we realize it or not, as our previous list of the ten wealthiest zip codes in Denver made clear.

Niwot’s Jonathan Sdao has pleaded guilty to assault for splashing two police officers with beer from a red Solo cup. Really.
The #KeepWade hashtag had little effect on the status on the Denver Broncos staff of defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, one of the main architects of the team’s victory in Super Bowl 50. Mere hours after former Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph was introduced at a press conference yesterday, reports confirmed suspicions that Phillips had been named DC of the Los Angeles Rams — a woeful franchise, but one with a defense capable of much better things. Whether the same will prove true of Denver’s D will be among the more intriguing story lines of the upcoming season.
A decision this week by the Broomfield City Council to postpone action on a proposed five-month moratorium on new oil and gas development highlights the legal and political uncertainties local government officials are facing as they try to figure out what authority they might have to control the spread of fracking operations in their communities.

On day two of Lewis & Logan, the new KOA afternoon program that teams veteran broadcaster Dave Logan and The Fox’s Rick Lewis, Kathy Lee, the longtime Fox personality who also serves as a co-host, asked Logan if he ever has lesbian dreams with a casualness usually associated with questions about the commute to work or plans for the weekend. But far from balking at the question, Logan, the steadfast voice of the Denver Broncos, chuckled and played along, albeit without admitting he fantasizes about hot girl-on-girl action.
The City of Aurora has agreed to pay $325,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by fourteen people detained at gunpoint by police officers for over an hour during a clumsy search for a man who’d robbed a nearby bank while wearing a beekeeper’s suit.
It’s the second week of the beginners’ Spanish course at the Language School. Five students, including Aisha, sit around a table and ask each other how to spell their names in the foreign language. Their instructor stands close by, listening intently and correcting any mispronunciations. Aisha, a mail carrier from Aurora, signed up for the course because she was tired of coming across non-English-speaking clients and being unable to ask them for simple things like a signature.
Daril Cinquanta, one of Colorado’s best-known private investigators, got his closeup recently on the hit A&E docudrama series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. But his brief cameo was the kind of publicity the former Denver “super cop” would have preferred to avoid.
“Despite the terrible cartel violence, the regulatory authority in Mexico saw the potential for CBD,” says Stuart Titus, CEO of Medical Marijuana Inc. “Today, we remain the only legal, cannabis-based products allowed into the country.”
When it comes to rankings of the best college towns and cities in America, we’ve come to expect that Boulder and Fort Collins will wind up near the top. Note that Boulder finished first in two separate 2014 surveys — one by SmartAsset, the other courtesy of Best College Reviews…
Dave Logan, a Colorado sports legend and voice of the Denver Broncos, admits that the idea of partnering with The Fox’s Rick Lewis on KOA’s Lewis & Logan show never occurred to him until Tim Hager, market president for iHeart Media, suggested it to him. But after a little more than a week…
Colorado Democratic Representative Jared Polis tweeted about an unconfirmed Buzzfeed report that Russia has damning information on Donald Trump, including a claim that the president-elect employed a “number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden showers’ (urination) show in front of him.” Trump has branded the assertions “fake news,” yet at least one Republican state senator from Colorado has rejected a pledge to stop disseminating such false information and a former GOP gubernatorial candidate calls the media pundit behind it a “fake reporter.”
And so it begins. Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, Trump’s nominee for the country’s next attorney general, took the stage today at his confirmation hearing. Marijuana supporters had been quick to voice their concern over Sessions’ nomination because of his stance on marijuana, as well as his positions on other social…
