As Colorado’s cannabis industry continues to grow and mature, dispensary owners and other ganjapreneurs are taking a more analytical approach to retail marijuana. According to industry experts, dispensaries cannot hope that the novelty of cannabis and tourism continues to support the market. Rather, they need to dive deeper into customer engagement.
It’s thematically fitting that Henry Phillips’ slight, prickling Punching Henry hits theaters just weeks after The Comedian, a bloated Robert De Niro exercise also about a difficult stand-up comic grinding through bad gigs and insulting meetings with TV suits — and accidentally starring in viral videos.

Yesterday, we shared disturbing new details about past sexual assault accusations made against new Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph, including an assertion by a woman who told police in 2004 that Joseph, then an assistant coach at the University of Colorado Boulder, had disrobed, climbed into her bed uninvited and pressed his erect penis against her. Our piece noted that Joseph had not yet publicly addressed the allegations, adding, "It will be interesting to see how much longer he'll be able to remain silent." Turns out Joseph's silence on the topic lasted less than 24 hours longer. But rather than holding a press conference or speaking on video, Joseph chose an interview with the Denver Post's Nicki Jhabvala. The result was a clever bit of spin control, albeit one that hardly lays the story to rest permanently.

When Michael Hancock ran for mayor in 2011, part of his platform called for changing the way Denver government interacted with its constituents. “We wanted to be the most globally competitive city, so we had to get better from the inside out,” Hancock explains. “We needed an innovative way to get at old vestiges of thinking in city government. We want a city built for 2016, not 1916.” The result was Peak Performance, which is winning awards and accolades around the county.

If you've driven through the high country in recent days, you've likely seen roadkill along the roadside.

Denver is the country's fourth-best place for New Year's Eve, according to WalletHub. Who tops the Mile High City? Orlando (number one), San Francisco (two) and Atlanta; Gilbert, Arizona, holds down the sad hundredth-best spot. The rankings are all based strictly on science, of course.

It is common practice for songwriters to retreat deep into isolation for focus and perspective when writing new music.
