Since then, Lundin has posted one amazing shot after another — including…
KBTV Channel 9 went on the air on October 12, 1952, when few houses in Denver had televisions. But that changed quickly, and the next year the staton moved from its makeshift studio into a spanking-new headquarters at 1089 Bannock Street. OK, MAKE SURE THE SENTENCES ABOVE MATCH WHAT’S IN…
The Denver coroner’s office has identified a man killed on Thursday evening, October 115, at the Spyglass Hill Apartments, 7100 E. Mississippi Avenue, as Isaiah Roquemore, 28.

A reader recently argued that Big Pharma is responsible for the influx of heroin in Colorado. His belief: Pharmaceutical companies have been pushing opiate-based pain killers, and when doctors cut off patients, they turn to heroin supplied by Mexican cartels looking to make up for the money they’ve been losing…
Denver blog posts have a healthy respect for good Mexican food. At our Food & Drink blog, Patricia Calhoun reveals the impending closure of Rosa Linda’s Mexican Cafe after just over thirty years. Denver Infill’s Ryan Dravitz shares part one of the page’s final 1601 Wewatta Project update. Did you…
Glendale, a pint-sized city surrounded on all sides by southeast Denver, has always had outsized ideas. A municipal rugby complex? Yes! The only King Soopers in the state that sells booze, just blocks from the only Target in the state that sells booze? Sure! A big new marijuana store next…
Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders may be sick of hearing about Hillary Clinton’s damned e-mails, as he memorably announced during a recent debate — but the controversy shows no signs of going away. That’s especially true in light of a new Complete Colorado report detailing documents that appear…
To date, the reports about the arrest of Sabrina Davis have been vague. They simply state that Davis is accused of having sexual exploitative material on her cell phone involving a nine-year-old family member and another six-year-old boy. But the alleged content of those images, as detailed in a probable…
Estately, the website that revealed the top ten cities for douchebags (including two in Colorado) is back with a timely list: “The Costume Ideas Each State Googles More Than Any Other State.” Findings are based on a whopping eleven years of Google Trends data. The results are both fun and…
After eking out their latest miracle victory against the Cleveland Browns, the Denver Broncos have a 6-0 record going into a bye week, setting up one of the most anticipated games of the 2015-2016 season to date: a match-up against the also-undefeated Green Bay Packers. The face-off will be at…
It’s been nearly two years since Colorado legalized limited recreational marijuana sales, yet obvious pot spoofs tied to the state continue to go viral. The latest: a satirical claim that a couple of McDonald’s in the state have converted their play areas to cannabis smoking sections. As we’ve reported, the confusion…
Our post about the approval of rates for the new toll lanes on part of I-70 generated some strong reactions among readers. One reason: The top price, which had previously been announced as $30, will actually cost drivers $40 thanks to a $10 surcharge. Plenty of folks feel the fees…
Denver blog posts don’t let death stop them. The folks at our Arts blog collect many of the best photos from the 2015 Denver Zombie Crawl on the 16th Street Mall. Colorado Peak Politics exults, “Debategate Deflated: On Your Marks, Get Set, Drink!” Mile High Report’s Kyle Montgomery quotes Broncos…
Filmmaker Danny Ledonne says he had no reason to expect the chief of campus police at Adams State University to show up at his Alamosa home last week. He was even more surprised when the chief told him he was there to deliver by hand a letter from ASU president…
Beloved television painter Bob Ross once said, “There’s nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.” What type of tree he was referring to? Open to interpretation– but Heidi Keyes and her Puff, Pass and Paint Class have an interesting take in this week’s Cannabis Calendar. Clover Leaf University…
This morning, the Colorado Springs Police Department formally identified the woman who died in an October 16 homicide as 32-year-old Fawn Christine Gianes. However, the victim’s sister, Krystal Wielichowski, asked KRDO-TV in the Springs to refer to her by her maiden name and put the word “Gianes” in parentheses. “She’s a Wielichowski,”…
Over recent years, there have been a distressing number of hit-and-run accidents involving cyclists in the area, with far too many of them having fatal consequences. Fortunately, the worst didn’t happen to 54-year-old Mark Mihelic. He’s expected to survive, even though his injuries are frightful. 9News reports that Mihelic suffered a severe concussion, internal…
The date on your phone says it’s 2015 — but there are plenty of men out there who continue to lag a century or two behind the times. A prime example: The antagonist of the following post, shared on Boulder Craigslist, who casually pawed a woman’s backside at a local…
The Broncos could just as easily be 0-6 as 6-0. In fact, the former seems more likely than the latter given how miserable Denver’s offense has looked in the 2015-2016 season to date. Yet the Broncos’ defense is so off-the-charts incredible that on Sunday, Denver managed to eke out a…
The most recent post on Zack Zuchowski’s Facebook page (it dates back to early 2014) reads, “The moment someone doesn’t deserve shit and should just die and go to hell.” If law enforcers with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office are right, Zuchowski tried to make this line a reality. Last week, he…
Many of those who responded to our post about Colorado marijuana sales topping $100 million in August had similar observations. Given the size of the tax revenues being collected, they wondered why they’re not seeing more tangible benefits in their communities. Part of the windfall is earmarked for school construction,…
