I’ll give Rocky Mountain High some credit: a vintage clothing shop that also sells pot sounds like a good plan. Maybe not a great one, but one that might work well in a place like Venice Beach. To that point, it never seemed like a good fit for Denver to…
Plenty of people in Colorado advocate for the painkilling effects of cannabis — but when Nate Jackson speaks about it, more people seem to be listening. That’s probably because Jackson, a Denver Bronco for five seasons, used to take hits for a living. At the age of 35, Jackson has…
Denver blog posts welcome you with open arms. At our Arts blog, Bree Davies writes about five ways you can change the world for women in advance of International Women’s Day. Denver Infill’s Ryan Dravitz offers on update on the 2300 Welton project. South Stands Denver’s Colin Daniels thinks the Nuggets…
When we shared our most recent post about State Representative Gordon Klingenschmitt, who recently said gays have lost their soul and suggested that a man killed three young Muslims because they think like Christians, we asked readers how they feel Colorado looks to people around the country after the election…
Peyton Manning has reportedly agreed to take a $4 million pay cut to play for the Broncos this season. The ostensible reason is to free up more cash to pay free agents. But there’s no denying that Manning’s performance was significantly worse this past season as compared to the one before,…
Dear Stoner: If Washington, D.C., legalized marijuana, does that mean it’s legal in every state? Sensi Sam Dear Sam: Wouldn’t that be great? In fact, four months after D.C. voters approved a ballot measure that would legalize the possession of up to two ounces of pot and the cultivation of…
We’ve all done it — gone up to a vehicle in a parking lot that looked like ours only to discover it was actually someone else’s. In general, though, we don’t get stabbed for making this mistake. That’s apparently what happened to a customer of a strip club in Grand…
It’s become a trend to file a lawsuit in an attempt to dismantle Colorado’s marijuana laws. First came the states of Nebraska and Oklahoma, which filed a complaint with the U.S. Supreme Court in December. Then, last month, the Washington, D.C.-based Safe Streets Alliance filed two lawsuits on behalf of…
Chuck Limbrick makes a cameo appearance in Dietrick Mitchell’s Life Sentence Was Commuted Four Years Ago — So Why Is He Still in Prison?, Alan Prendergast’s recent feature article. Like Mitchell, Limbrick had been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole — for, in the latter’s case, killing his…
Last week, we shared a list of the ten best places in Colorado to live according to the Movoto blog. But unfortunately, not everyone can come out at or near the top. The site ranked 74 Colorado communities, and the the ones that ranked among the bottom ten include some…
As a lot of us know from personal experience, working at a fast-food restaurant can be dull. Even so, there are certain ways we don’t recommend to pass the time. Like, for instance, firing off a rifle so close to a neighborhood that the bullets riddle multiple homes. That’s what…
The ranks of Colorado’s medical marijuana caregivers are declining, serving fewer and fewer patients every month, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment — and that’s without the state adopting new measures proposed to regulate caregivers. The dip in caregivers has been significant in the year since…
William Breathes’s post about the reasons why medical marijuana caregivers are in the state government crosshairs continues to generate comments — and the frustration over this topic is spilling into other areas. For example, the taxes placed on cannabis. This reader feels that marijuana should actually have a lower tax rate…
Denver blog posts are still in business. Our Food & Restaurant blogs lists a slew of new metro Denver restaurant openings, as well as ten closings in February. The Colorado Independent’s Tessa Cheek writes about the challenge of protecting student data in the Internet age. Coyote Gulch has the latest…
The City and County of Denver’s Department of Safety and Well-Being unanimously approved an amendment to Denver’s municipal code that places a 36-plant limit on any non-residential zone lot in the city, except in a licensed marijuana cultivation facility. The vote will now go forward to the Denver City Council…
At this writing, Leonard Martinez has not yet been formally accused of homicide in the death of his former girlfriend in Lakewood last week. But rest assured, this charge is coming. He was originally arrested on suspicion of assault and attempted murder. However, the situation changed when his victim, 21-year-old…
The first bedbug that Tim ever found was in an unlikely place: his kitchen sink. He’d been living in his apartment near Jefferson Park for a little more than a month when he noticed something crawling on one of the clean plates he’d left out to dry. It was flat…
When Brian Shaw was fired as head coach by the Denver Nuggets yesterday, the only surprise was that the team did so before the end of the season. After all, continuing to lose at this point might actually help the team get a better draft pick, and Shaw had gotten…
Last November, when we introduced you to Gordon Klingenschmitt, the exorcism-doing, gay-slammer who’d just been elected as a state representative, he was already a darling of the progressive media types. From their perspective, he was the walking, talking embodiment of ultra-conservatism’s worst tendencies — and one with the potential of…
Anyone who’s ever visited eBay knows there’s a lot of strange stuff for sale on the site — but some things are stranger than others. We know, because of the posts that came up in a search for the word “Colorado” — especially after we looked in “Everything Else,” the…
Terry Maketa spent his last months as El Paso County sheriff embroiled in controversy of a very seamy sort. As we noted in a post last June, Maketa was targeted with allegations about improper relations with several women on his staff, not to mention promotions based on sexual favors. El Paso’s…
Last night was bitterly cold in Denver, with steady light snow — the kind of weather then tends to tamp down crime. But the conditions apparently didn’t prevent a significant street crime. According to the Denver Police Department, four individuals are under arrest, accused of shooting at a DPD vehicle…
