Update below: Back in January, as part of a post about a marijuana tour hosted by O.penVAPE, a Denver-based firm whose vape pens and other products have been acclaimed by cannasseurs across the planet, we published the photo above, in which company chief revenue officer Todd Mitchem can be seen…
Eight tornadoes may have touched down in Denver a few hours earlier, but that didn’t mean the Denver Cruiser Ride was off. Participants eagerly hit the streets for the second session of the year — but instead of looking like 2014, many cyclists were duded up and ready for 1894…
A few months back, we shared our twenty favorite posts from the Colorado Memes Facebook page. But there’s also a very active Colorado Springs Memes Facebook page — one that’s earned more than 38,000 likes at this writing. And deservedly so, since the items shared are consistently funny in a…
Safety T.J. Ward, a high-profile free-agent recently signed by the Broncos, is wanted for misdemeanor assault in relation to a reported May 9 incident at PT’s Showclub, a strip joint. (See correction below.) And for those keeping track at home: No, he hasn’t played a single down for the Broncos…

Thankfully, there were no reports of injuries as a result of yesterday’s meteorological phenomena — but lots of photographic possibilities shared on Twitter. Look below to see twenty of the most striking images we found…
It’s been a long wait, but May flowers eventually came — at least here at Mile Highs and Lows. It’s been a month of mediocre dispensaries (and hailstorms), leaving us with nothing but a few nice buds among a lot of slightly busted flowers while we wait to meet up…
Our latest post about pot profiling, featuring data showing that in one Nebraska county, drivers of cars with Colorado plates are cited more frequently than natives by the state patrol, inspired more stories of traffic stops for no good reason. But that shouldn’t be a surprise according to this reader…
Update with new photo below: If Gary Revis had simply remained cool, he probably wouldn’t be facing major charges following a long SWAT team standoff in Aurora. But cool he wasn’t. Revis’s actions after being mistaken for Anthony West, who’s suspected in a domestic violence incident, have landed him in…
Denver blog posts are always priced right. At our Cafe Society blog, Patricia Calhoun shares the view of a reader unhappy that prices are going up at Chipotles in the chain’s hometown. Colorado Pols quotes Cory Gardner as saying Republicans shouldn’t change positions in order to win elections. Denver PR…
Proponents of more local control over oil and gas drilling in Colorado are gearing up to spend millions on a slew of ballot measures this fall, and no less an authority than Representative Jared Polis (the anti-fracking movement’s poster boy) estimates that the energy industry will spend as much as…
Denver-based edibles manufacturer Dixie Elixirs and the inventor of MED-a-Mints cannabis-infused candy have settled a dispute over alleged trademark violations. MED-a-Mints inventor Gary Gabrel claimed that Dixie Elixirs violated the contract between them when it changed the product’s packaging, making its own name more prominent and replacing the words “cannabis…
As we noted in our recent post about the retirement announcement from 7News anchor Mike Landess, 9News has enjoyed a run of ratings victories that’s been all but uninterrupted since Landess and former co-host Ed Sardella first teamed up at the station circa the late 1970s. And that hasn’t changed…
Yesterday, Governor John Hickenlooper signed a baker’s dozen worth of bills on various topics. But arguably the two most high-profile measures had to do with marijuana: legislation to establish a one-ounce-of-cannabis equivalent for concentrates and a proposal to make marijuana edibles more identifiable. A prominent marijuana advocate praises these measures…

Last month’s bust of 21-year-old Carousel Reed and others was reportedly part of an ongoing investigation into prostitution in Greeley.

Yesterday around this time, we shared videos of a severe weather that dumped leaf-shredding hail over the Denver area on Tuesday.

“Party in the Park,” Alan Prendergast, May 15 Land of Lincoln I am writing in response to Alan Prendergast’s “Party in the Park.” I am a longtime resident and homeowner in the La Alma neighborhood. I have a very different feeling about the neighborhood than Jim Schneck, who does not…
In his Construction Management classroom, surrounded by his students’ papers, Frank Sturgell reads his e-mails. He looks every bit the professor: He’s wearing crisply pleated pants, a starched, cream-colored shirt and a slightly dated white preppie cardigan; the ring of hair surrounding his otherwise bald head is perfectly groomed, and…
Nissa Rost-Rothman greets the two hippies from northern Virginia who have been staying at her home, the back half of a single-story duplex in south Park Hill. For $145 a night, Airbnb guests rent her place and she couch-surfs. Though Rost-Rothman doesn’t feel well, she’s bubbly as she shows off…
Hey Stoner: Why does organically grown MJ cost the same as the chemy stuff? Why do buds that take longer (like 112 days) to grow, cost the same as a strain that only takes 50 days? Why does a strain that produces a small harvest cost the same as a…
The Colorado Medical Marijuana Patient Registry continued its slow but steady climb in March according to statistics released by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. As of March 31, there were 115,208 active red cards in the state — up 1,767 people from the month before…
Melanie Asmar’s post about Chipotle’s request that gun owners leave their weapons at home after open-carry advocates in Texas brought assault rifles to one of the chain’s restaurants brought a lot of criticism for the latter group, and not only from those who argue in favor of gun control. Take…
