Last November, we introduced you to Gordon Klingenschmitt, who we described as an "exorcism-doing, gay-slamming just-elected State Representative" — from the Colorado Springs area, naturally. Since then, Klingenschmitt, a preacher who delivers regular YouTube sermons for his ministry, PrayInJesusName.com, has provided plenty of fodder for critics, claiming, for instance, that...
This summer saw its share of big food stories. The opening of Fire, an elegant restaurant in the Art Hotel, wasn’t one of them. Indeed, the restaurant was so far off the radar that unless you followed the food scene closely — or were a hotel guest who grabbed a...

Law-enforcement opponents of the 2012 marijuana measure Amendment 64 predicted that crime would escalate if the measure was approved.

Like a sculptor prepping an exquisite block of marble to reveal the statue concealed within, Dale Woerner hesitates for a moment, his just-sharpened ten-inch breaking knife poised for the first crucial cut. This well-marbled specimen isn’t a slab of metamorphic rock, though, but a nearly 25-pound chuck roll isolated from...
400 Rabbits at MezcalLast May, Mezcal went dark, but the closing of the venerated East Colfax restaurant wasn’t a permanent one. After a three-month remodel, a new incarnation of Mezcal re-opened with a few tweaks to the decor, a few splashes of fresh paint and a revamped menu. When the...
I’ll try any type of beer, coffee or cannabis at least once, and this strategy has led me to some amazing finds. The only danger is that you might try something — in this case, a strain of pot — and fall in love with it, only to never see...

If they're convicted, Alese Silva and Ivan Lopez could be put away for quite a long time over a crime that netted a very small reward: a car they drove for only a short distance and $80 in cash. The pair are accused of kidnapping two people over this sum...
It’s difficult, maybe impossible, for small, local bookstores to compete with the Amazons of the world. It’s just as hard for local authors with a smaller audience to compete in those marketplaces against the Stephen Kings and Dale Carnegies. Faced with those realities, Longmont based author and financial professional Ron...

ViewHouse has set its lofty sights on a popular location for rooftop patios— Main Street in downtown Littleton — where it would like to create a third outpost at 2670-2680 Main, its third outpost in three years. And like the original, which is a stone's throw from the Tavern Downtown,...
Koan Goedman and Jonathan Power know Larimer Street; they both worked at Crema Coffee House and went on to open businesses a few blocks away — Goedman with Huckleberry Roasters and Power with The Populist. They had wanted to collaborate on a new project in the neighborhood and had been...
Doc Twentieth-century art history often focuses on the Coasts, but here in Colorado a colony of artists, many of them well-schooled abroad before settling in the West, were producing quality — and in some cases, world-class — work.

The recent terrorist attacks in Paris were senseless in innumerable ways, big and small — among them the fact that gunmen killed more than 80 people at a Bataclan theater show headlined by Eagles of Death Metal, a band that's all about fun, not global politics.
