The five-story, 310,000-square-foot building, the third and final structure in the Downtown Denver Justice Center campus that was authorized by Denverites in a 2005 ballot measure, was finished on time and on budget last July — but seems to have sprung a leak…
Nugget Kenyon Martin’s birthday was surely better than his April Fool’s Day, when teammate J.R. Smith’s driver filled K-Mart’s SUV with buttered popcorn. The power forward’s December 30 birthday appears to have been a happier affair, though it, too, involved some Nuggets hazing: Rookie guard Gary Forbes was elected to…
Broncos? What Broncos? Colorado Rockies season officially begins today, on the day after the pathetic (yet strangely exciting — near the end, anyway) Denver Broncos closed out their worst year in history with a 4-12 record, no coach and a huge number of problems…
Most people start the New Year off by making resolutions. Some people vow to exercise more or smoke less. Others opt to look for news jobs, new loves or even new clothes. The two men pictured below, however, had something else in mind. They chose to shoplift more. And they…
You may have seen it already, but if not, it’s worth a few minutes. On December 30, a man in Colorado Springs narrates an outrageous situation in Colorado Springs in which nearly every vehicle that tried to make it up the street ends up sliding back down and smashing into…
The neighborhood icon pictured above was inspired by the original logo used by Perl-Mack Homes Inc. to market its newest housing development in 1966. After the success of building Northglenn and Southglenn (now Centennial), Perl-Mack developed a suburban-style housing development east of then-Stapleton International Airport. Cut off from the city…
Because most of us can only stand the talking heads of the NFL pre- and post-game shows in two- or three-minute increments, we asked Broncos fans leaving the 33-28 loss to San Diego on Sunday at Invesco what they thought of the season. In three words or less. Photos and…

Back at work this morning but not quite ready for it? Perhaps you’re mourning the Broncos’ season. At least you’re not a Rams fan; last night’s collapse was much worse than an entire season of abject failure. Anyway, kill some time by checking out our weekend coverage…
Crocs, the Niwot-based maker of brightly hued, comfy-ugly clown shoes, has had more than its share of PR disasters, from the hysterical reports of Crocs-shod kids getting toes nipped in escalators to the savage reviews from fashionistas to a wacky endorsement from Donald Trump. But all of that’s nothing, compared…
Our hat’s off to Denver attorney Michael Sawaya, whose law firm offered free taxi rides through the holiday season — for the fourth year running! — to drinkers who realize they shouldn’t drive. There’s just one roadblock to the project, as reveler blizzardo points out:…

Our medical-marijuana directory contains dozens more dispensaries, many…
Stuck somewhere between being a grow supply store and a medical marijuana dispensary, the Ballpark Holistic Dispensary is having a slight identity crisis…

Christopher Blackstone was so infuriated that his girlfriend wouldn’t answer her cell phone when he called after an argument that he stomped her puppy to death, police say. Hmm, doesn’t really sound like dating material…
The gin-soaked novelist who declared that there are no second acts in American lives never caught the many acts of Tom Tancredo — former U.S. Representative, presidential hopeful, gubernatorial spoiler…and now late-night talk show host.

On Tuesday, 9News reported a story about a woman who uses a webcam to check up on her dog during the day instead discovering a burglar in her Capitol Hill home. Strange? Yes. True? Yes. It’s the latest weird story in a year that was full of them. Every year,…
