A few weeks back, we shared figures from Coldwell Banker related to the ten most expensive places to buy a house in Colorado. Number 1 on the list? Boulder, where the average price for a single-familiy house was said to be more than $1 million. Unsurprisingly, real estate brokers in…
The more people who visit the White River National Forest and other wilderness areas in Colorado, the greater the chances of encounters with bears, who seem increasingly unafraid of humans.

The Denver Police Department loves stupid criminal stories, and so do we.

The latest posts, as shared on the department’s Facebook page, include stories about…
The Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shootings committed by Robert Dear on November 27 were a human tragedy. Three people were killed and nine others injured.

We recently posted about four young men arrested in Missouri for possessing five grams or less of Colorado marijuana products — an offense that carries a maximum sentence of seven years in jail in that state. Plenty of readers were aghast at this possibility, particularly when it’s perfectly legal for…

The regulars on Stoner Hill tell legends about the place. They say the gentle mound’s grassy curve conceals garbage or haunted graves — maybe both. It’s the kind of spot discussed with some reverence in boxcars and squats across the country’s traveling circuits. Even Google Maps can pinpoint Stoner Hill…
In August 2014, we told you about the arrest of Daniel Stetzel, who was accused of stabbing his mom, Kathleen Stetzel, with a screwdriver and then strangling her following an argument over cigarettes.

Event planners must think stoners are still must comatose after Thanksgiving, because the pot affairs are pretty slim this week. Besides the people putting on Danksgiving, that is. In their logic, the dates 4/20 plus 7/10 equal 11/30, so why not give edibles their own day shortly after America gorges…
