On June 19, 2014, a shooting at a Red Rocks show featuring Nas, Flying Lotus and Schoolboy Q shocked the music community here and beyond — especially after law enforcement announced that Schoolboy Q's sports-utility vehicle had been specifically targeted by the gunman. In the immediate aftermath of the incident, speculation...
Coloradans are very familiar with the dangers of avalanches, which can (and often do) prove deadly. Back in February 2014, for example, we reported about six deaths from western avalanches in less than a week, including Colorado's Ashleigh Cox. These risks are reinforced by a remarkable, newly posted video that...
When it comes to south-of-the-border restaurants, Denver is certainly not lacking in Mexican-cuisine options — but what about farther south? Aside from a smattering of Salvadoran joints frying up pupusas, the countries of Central America have yet to establish a firm presence on Denver’s culinary map. Where, for example, can...

Denver is changing rapidly. Some of the changes have been good: the burgeoning art scene, the museum-building boom, the explosion in restaurants and the whole Napa-of-craft-beer thing, not to mention legalized marijuana. But there have also been some bad changes: the terrible traffic, the litter and pet waste everywhere, the...
It's taken months, but Julie Huff, 30, has finally been formally charged in the child abuse death of two-year-old Tobi Joan Doyle in Montrose. Adding to the pain caused by this delay: Reports of possible abuse warning signs that were either missed or misunderstood in the weeks before the child's February death...
Highland Tap & Burger at 2219 West 32nd Avenue is known for, you guessed it, beer and burgers. But Juan Padro, who owns the lively bar with his wife, Katie O'Shea Padro, grew up eating his family's Puerto Rican cooking and visits the Caribbean island regularly, so it's his prerogative as...

Two years ago this month, popular Denver radio personality Michael Floorwax formally announced that he wouldn't be returning to Lewis & Floorwax, the 103.5 The Fox morning program on which he'd co-starred with Rick Lewis since July 1990.

Back in 2014, we shared Centers for Disease Control figures showing where several major Colorado cities ranked as measured by binge drinking. The results weren't especially positive — and data from the United Health Foundation’s annual health rankings suggest that the trend has yet to be reversed. There's plenty of good...
When chef/restaurateur Justin Cucci opened Root Down in 2008, guests were wowed by reclaimed gymnasium floors, a room divider festooned with old telephones, and remnants from the building's previous incarnation as an auto mechanic's garage cleverly given a second life. That year was the beginning of the Great Recession, though,...
When Lillian Ballard moved into a transitional-housing facility for women leaving the sex industry and survivors of sex trafficking, nobody, herself included, thought that she would last there.

Artist Rodney Wood is finally showing paintings in Denver, after decades and many ventures in the art world. His art career started “during the old hippie days,” Wood remembers, when the Colorado native went to Colorado State University for a few years and studied art and art history — but his...
