Our post listing the twelve Denver neighborhoods with the most hipsters was based on data from FindTheBest.com. And not all of our readers agreed with the conclusions. There was plenty of debate about neighborhoods with an apparently higher hipster quotient, most of it good-natured and humorous. Here’s an exchange that offers…
Denver blog posts are filling up their datebooks. At our Food & Restaurants blog, Mark Antonation lists 28 of the most anticipated bar and restaurant openings in Denver. Romenesko notes that the Denver Post put Easter on its Easter front page after being criticized for focusing on pot last year. Colorado…
High Times and Rick Ross will be here in less than two weeks, but until then, you can enjoy a spa-day fundraiser for the Cannabis Consumer Coalition, participate in the battle between caregivers and recent local government rulings and more in this week’s cannabis calendar. Enjoy some Bellinis cocktails, beer,…
A nationwide ban on tiny magnet balls has been temporarily lifted. The ban went into effect on April 1, though only briefly. That afternoon, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay while it considers a motion by Denver-based Zen Magnets to lift the ban permanently. Shihan Qu, the…
Last week, we posted a Denver human waste map that’s being used as part of a push to fund more public restrooms in central Denver. And while such facilities wouldn’t only be used by members of the homeless community, members of Denver Homeless Out Loud contends that such facilities would be greatly beneficial…
On Wednesday, a funeral service is expected to take place at the Air Force Academy for Cadet First Class Alex Quiros, who died in an AFA dorm last Thursday. Thus far, however, the cause of death has not been shared, and the circumstances are unusual. For one thing, he is said…
Earlier this month, when we shared a list of Colorado’s best high schools according to ColoradoSchoolGrades.com, we noted that the site dished out plenty of high marks. Five of the top ten schools tied for the top spot. This trend is even more explicit when it comes to the ColoradoSchoolGrades.com…
Most people in Denver enjoyed a peaceful Easter. But 66-year-old Larry Roberts isn’t most people. Roberts (no relation) was arrested Sunday on suspicion that he’d killed a man in Five Points late the previous evening. Continue for photos, video and details about what went down. First official word about the…
Denver blogs grow their own. The grounds crew at Coors Field will add a half-dozen hops plants to the stadium’s flora, reports Jonathan Shikes in our restaurants section. Indiana’s new religious objections law is reminiscent of one of the less pleasant episodes in Colorado’s recent history, writes Jeffrey Morton on…
Ever wonder why the generation that came of age in the 1950s was so scared of drugs and – still to this day – equates cannabis with things like heroin? Well, it was probably due to speakers like anti-fun crusader Dr. E. Guy Cutshall, as described in this December 13,…
Larimer County law enforcement seems to be taking its cues from Nebraska lately. A month after Sheriff Justin Smith headlined a lawsuit aimed at Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, who he alleges violated federal law by passing Amendment 64, his department has decided hemp is a public menace as well. Morris Beegle began…
This week, Mayor Michael Hancock prohibited the use of city funds for “non-essential” travel to Indiana, citing the recent religious-objections law passed in that state. Not only did that announcement raise the question of why, exactly, city officials would ever think of using Denver funds for “non-essential travel” anywhere, but…
Lakewood baker Jack Phillips is appealing a May 2014 ruling that he cannot discriminate against same-sex couples seeking wedding cakes. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled that Phillips, who owns Masterpiece Cakeshop, had violated Colorado’s anti-discrimination law when he declined to make a cake for same-sex couple Charlie Craig and…
Denver Fugly has really taken off — like the city’s booming development that inspired the new Denver Fugly Facebook page from Brad Evans, founder of the Denver Cruisers, who’s now turned his eye to some of the more “fugly” projects around town. Or are they? Dozens of people have posted…
The Colorado Legislature has passed a bill on to Governor John Hickenlooper that would prohibit use of Electronic Benefit Transfer cards at ATMs at dispensaries and srip clubs. Introduced by Republican Senator Vicki Marble on January 14, the bill was given bipartisan approval on Tuesday in the Senate, as amended in…
No insult to The Station, but the main reason I chose to review this spot was because I was in the area and had to pee. Not a good reason. I remembered the shop well, though. Even after four years, I know that its executive-style bathrooms would be open —…
Denver blogs always welcome a helping hand. Two and a half years ago, Spike’s Bar Rescue visited Zanzibar, briefly transforming it into Solids & Stripes. Host Jon Taffer came back to see how Zanzibar was holding up, reports Mark Antonation in our restaurant section. You can see the result for…
Oral arguments in the appeal of the Red Rocks amphitheater rockfall case have been postponed. The delay will allow lawyers for the injured concertgoers and for the City of Denver, which owns Red Rocks, to respond to a recent Colorado Supreme Court decision that could have a big impact on…
One of the few immutable rules of technology today is that it never stops evolving. From smartwatches to self-driving cars, every year brings a new crop of improved gadgets designed to make our lives easier and better. So why haven’t our sex toys kept pace? That’s a question that Colorado…
Our March 19 cover story, “Dead Again,” told the creepy story of Harold Henthorn, who looked very unlucky in love — two wives dead! — until an investigation into the death of wife Toni raised questions about the Douglas County investigation into the death of his wife, Lynn, seventeen years earlier…
How the hell did that happen? I hear that query, or a variation of it, a lot these days in booming Denver. I hear it a lot just on my block, where a gargantuan modern home now obscures many of the historic stone structures behind it. I fell in love…
Ah, El Paso County: What would we do for entertainment without the loonbags that voters there occasionally elect? But when El Paso County residents sent Gordon Klingenschmitt to the Colorado Legislature, they really outdid themselves. He started making waves from the start, and then last week, when the part-time legislator/part-time…
