Move over, spaghetti and meatballs. As a native of Sicily, Francesco Spatola knows there’s more to Italian cuisine than red sauce and pasta. “Sicilian cuisine,” he explains, “is the result of the cultural overlapping of Greek, Spanish, French and Arabic cultures over thousands of years.” At Spatola, the restaurant and...
The craft brewing world felt a squeeze at the top this year as the number of breweries across the country soared past 4,000, and the number of bottled and canned offering grew by the thousands. In Colorado, where there are approximately 360 brewing licenses, competition was as fierce as ever...

Last night, March 13, the Cherry Creek School District voted unanimously to move start times later for middle- and high-school students and earlier for children in elementary schools. The change has broad but not universal support from older students and their folks. However, a group of elementary-school parents were unhappy enough with them to have started a change.org petition that rejected alterations for their kids with extreme prejudice.
Update: In September, Adrian Moya pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree murder in regard to a gun battle last December between him and a Northglenn police officer. Each of them were shot multiple times, but both survived — and in April, the officer, who'd been wearing a ballistic vest that likely saved...
How great a visual wonder is 4,000 lanterns floating through the air at once? Enough to stop traffic. The entirety of cars in both lanes on I-25 came to a crawl on October 15 to witness the beauty as lanterns glided just above traffic to the west on a slight, warm, October...

But earlier this month, customers (and employees) at one of the eatery's Colorado branches got something extra. Their breakfast allegedly became a grub-hurling, worker-assaulting living...

Paste Magazine, which must have ten refrigerators in its office, has released yet another ranked list of craft beers, this time focusing on wild and sour ales — a difficult task that it describes as "venturing into a quagmire of conflicting styles and sub-styles — you’re just hoping to find...
Boulder’s new-brewery scene was quiet for the majority of 2016. While existing powerhouses like Avery Brewing, Twisted Pine, Boulder Beer and Upslope all made news, no new breweries opened their doors during the first eleven months of the year.

About a year ago, Colorado’s Doug Kacena came up with a provocative idea for an exhibit: He would paint over other artists’ paintings employing his own style, while those other artists painted over his works in their own respective styles. It was an unusual move, even if there were art-historical...
One of the things that the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center consistently does well is dedicate exhibits to significant regional artists. The current case in point is All I Ever Wanted: James Surls and Charmaine Locke, a show featuring work by artists who live in the Roaring Fork Valley, near...
Senator Cory Gardner isn't alone when it comes to a lack of in-person town halls, given that Senator Michael Bennet hasn't held one since 2014, as we reported earlier today. But while Bennet is able to bash President Donald Trump for conflicts of interest, among other things, Gardner, as the National Republican Senatorial Committee chair, finds himself in the uncomfortable position of having to maintain loyalty to the chief executive even as evidence of alleged improprieties among his cabinet appointees continues to mount, as demonstrated by the grilling he received on National Public Radio this morning in regard to serious questions about Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Recent protests over Donald Trump's policies point up a problem: There is no easy or guaranteed way to obtain a permit for demonstrating in Denver within 24 hours of major news breaking.
