In April, we told you about Meagan Patrick, whose pre-school-age daughter, Addelyn, is an epilepsy sufferer who's made huge strides since she began using medical cannabis treatments. However, Addelyn's public preschool didn't allow MMJ to be administered — although liquid Valium is okay. House Bill 16-1373, co-sponsored by Representative Jonathan Singer, was...

We recently shared information from a CollegeStats.org study that put DU and Metro State University of Denver on a list of the ten colleges with the most misogynistic tweets. The analysis was odd for a number of reasons — not the least of which was that the results skewed far...
In March 2015, we published multiple posts about the fatal shooting of Naeschylus Vinzant by Aurora police officer Paul Jerothe, a veteran of nearly a decade on the force who has been lauded for his actions in the wake of the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. Vinzant was unarmed at the time he...

Fried chicken has been on our minds lately; it's a homey dish suited for family gatherings where platters of crispy, aromatic bird can be passed around a lively table — along with mashed potatoes, gravy, greens and other Southern and Midwestern sides. Whether you like yours with a thick, spicy...
When Mell's Cheese closed its doors a couple of weeks ago, manager Mike Keuler found himself in a situation that inspired immediate action: owner Paula Dick "had to get rid of her product," he says. "For a cheese shop to close right before the holidays is tragic. I bought her...
Colorado is so chock full of breweries that it seems like a beer drinker could head in any direction and find a few of them without even trying. Almost any direction, anyway. Head east out of Greeley or Aurora or the area around Colorado Springs, and you won’t find a...
At Colorado Springs-based Holistic Healing Health, she's known as Dr. Venus K. Moshrefi, a specialist in natural healing therapies. But the First Judicial District DA's office refers to her as Nahid Moshrefi, who allegedly bilked an elderly man out of more than $30,000 by pretending to have cancer. If true, these actions...
We all know it: Daylight Saving Time sucks. Like Columbus discovering America and diamonds coming from coal, the story of daylight savings—that we did it for farmers—is complete bullshit. The true origins lie somewhere between wartime, energy conservation, and politics; farmers, in fact, were staunchly against it as a practice, so the fact that they became blamed for it is insult to injury.Daylight Saving Time isn’t the only thing that remains part of American culture out of sheer inertia. The great John Oliver has a superb occasional feature called “How Is this Still a Thing?” that covers ridiculousness like Daylight Saving Time, including everything from Columbus Day to the popularity of Ayn Rand to pennies. But it’s not just tradition that sometimes sticks us with a terrible and yet still voluntary mess—sometimes, we see the pothole, and we drive over the damn thing anyway, wrecking our national alignment. Here’s a list of other disasters we’ve gotten ourselves into…you know, if we really insist.
Plenty of drinking takes place at Mile High Stadium, particularly during Denver Broncos games like the team's painful loss to the New England Patriots this past weekend — and fans Denver police officers feel have over-indulged frequently find themselves in detox under the auspices of Denver CARES, a behavioral health...

This year Denver has a bumper crop of choices for this year’s Westword Freshest Faces Of Drag.
Even longtime Broncos fans may have a hard time thinking of a more agonizing regular-season defeat than Denver's 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last night — and in the minds of many, the reason has everything to do with Coach Gary Kubiak. Allow us to set the stage...
Music fan or not, it seems like everybody in the civilized world is becoming increasingly reliant on their phones, with the iPhone still firmly atop the “hip and techy” tree. And those of you addicted to your iPhone don’t need to be told about the countless apps, but there’s a...
Update: Four years ago next month, thirteen-year-old Dylan Redwine disappeared in southwestern Colorado, where he'd traveled for a court-ordered visit with his father, Mark Redwine. His body was found in June 2013, and just over two years later, Mark was named a person-of-interest in the case, which was belatedly ruled...
One of the largest protests in recent Denver history took place last night — and the target was president-elect Donald Trump. A crowd estimated in the thousands marched along the 16th Street Mall, as well as the areas on and near the grounds of the State Capitol. Multiple street closures...

A federal lawsuit against Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and other city officials, filed by one of Hizzoner's former best buds and top advisors, has been dismissed by U.S. District Court Judge John Kane -- just when filings in the case were getting interesting.

Among the narratives to emerge from the wreckage of Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign is the theory that she might have come out on top in the key state of Florida if it weren't for the impact there of Gary Johnson and William Weld, the ticket representing the Libertarian Party. At...
