Last November’s passage of Amendment 64 was greeted with joy by many members of the cannabis community. But what followed was a confusing flurry of bills that will be further refined by rules and regulations to be crafted by the Department of Revenue in the months after they’re signed, likely…
As we noted last week while covering the tragic death of Anastasia Adair, who accidentally killed herself with a new assault rifle, Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith and 54 colleagues have joined a complaint against newly passed Colorado gun-control laws, including a ban of all magazines that can hold more…
There’s a huge disconnect between the images shared online by Orin Fryson and news of his assorted arrests and guilty pleas. The former portray him as a super-hot photographer whose striking images of gorgeous women are undeniably eye-popping. The latter depicts busts for indecent exposure and masturbation at assorted Denver-area…
For the past year or so, Broncos receiver Eric Decker and Jesse James, his country-music-singing beloved, have topped the hottest local athlete/girlfriend list. But it looks like they’ve got some competition from the Colorado Rockies’ Josh Rutledge and Laura McKeeman, his significant other. A former Miss Florida, McKeeman works at…
Former defensive player of the year Charles Woodson had the chance to sign with either the Super Bowl-contending Denver Broncos or the lowly Oakland Raiders. And last night, he chose the Raiders. Having played in Oakland for eight years, Woodson should know as well as anyone that the Raiders suck…
Earlier today, we shared the thoughts of Sensible Colorado head Brian Vicente about the federal government’s continued silence on Amendment 64, the marijuana measure he co-authored. But we also asked Vicente’s views about the newly passed but not yet signed marijuana laws spurred by A64, as well as the fear…
The tragic death of Anastasia Adair, who accidentally killed herself with her new assault rifle, sparked an online conversation about whether guns promote safety or actually create more dangers. Here’s a comment who thinks using such incidents as an argument for a ban is as ridiculous as… well, as this…
It’s an all-sports edition of Denver blogs. Mile High Hockey’s Steve House on rumors that Patrick Roy will be named to coach the Avs. Purple Row’s Bryan Kilpatrick likes what he sees from Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado. Mile High Report’s Bronco Mike on Rahim Moore coming to grips with…
A much-contested deal to trade eleven acres of open space in the Cherry Creek corridor for an office building in central Denver, pushed by Mayor Michael Hancock and approved by city council in April, has triggered not one but two citizen petition drives to nix the swap and protect the…
If you thought shopping on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall could be expensive before the city council prohibited smoking on the mall earlier this year, just try lighting a cigarette during your next visit. Since the ban went into effect just over six weeks ago, 35 people have been cited for…
Is it legal to grow hemp in Colorado? Like, right now? That’s a complicated question — and one that the Colorado Department of Agriculture is trying to clear up in a statement issued this week: “Amendment 64 did not authorize the immediate cultivation of hemp. It instead directed the General…
A note to potential employers of Taylor Powers, 21. When you Google her name, you will come across posts like this one — as well as clips from the New York Daily News and The Smoking Gun — about her being charged following her mushroom-fueled strip and subsequent rescue during…
Update: Yesterday, we told you about the shooting of an employee during what appeared to be a robbery at a Pleasures adult store in Aurora; see our previous coverage below. Now, representatives of the Aurora Police Department have released a surveillance photo of the man who pulled the trigger. See…
Graduation at CU-Boulder happened just over a week ago, but the CU-Boulder Missed Connections Facebook page hasn’t slowed down a bit. The site features lotsa fresh posts… …fresh in many different ways…. …in which romantic students search for the one who got away. We’ve collected and photo-illustrated our ten recent…
It’s been over six months since voters approved Amendment 64, which allows adults 21 and over in Colorado to use and possess small amounts of marijuana, and the Obama administration still hasn’t weighed in on the measure. Last week, we speculated that the delays would continue thanks to current scandals…
For all the good things that come along with more cycling in Denver, there are also some negatives — including bicycle-related crime, which tends to be committed at some locations more often than others. Example: A new 9News report has identified the city’s ten worst bike racks for theft, with…
After the passage of a driving-under-the-influence-of-drugs bill, we wondered if Westword medical marijuana critic William Breathes would ever be able to drive legally again, since he’d registered nearly triple the proposed limit while sober during a 2011 test. Tonight at 10 p.m., CBS4 dives into the drugged driving debate –…
Last week, we posted about Patrick Ward, the man charged with assorted vehicular crimes related to the death of cyclist Michel Van Duym in Lyons. Ward’s past negative comments about cycling reignited the debate between cyclists and drivers. Here’s one especially interesting take on the subject…
Denver blog posts really mean it. Purple Row’s Jay Tymkovich thinks the Rockies’ series win over the San Francisco Giants makes a statement. Colorado Pols thinks the lack of viable Republican candidates to challenge Governor John Hickenlooper or Senator Mark Udall means the GOP has no bench. Denver Frank: Want…
Last week, a Centaurus High student was busted after an explosive device was found near a high-traffic area of the school. So it’s understandable that the discovery of what was termed a suspicious bag would cause a freak-out among officials at Boulder’s Fairview High School, not to mention the media…
Following last month’s attack at the Boston Marathon, people planning to take part in the Colfax Marathon, as well as the upcoming BolderBOULDER, took to social media to make it clear they would still hit the pavement. Plenty of them did so safely at the Colfax Marathon this weekend. Our…
There’s an undeniable fascination about urban bears rescues, as witnessed by the way a photo of a bear in Boulder last year went viral; see the original pic, plus a meme and GIF below. No telling if images of a bear being plucked from a tree in Colorado Springs yesterday…
