I have a thing about waste. I don’t like it. As a result, it’s hard for me to throw things away. Frankly, I think it’s probably genetic. My mother doesn’t like waste either, raised by my Depression-era grandmother who was the queen enemy of waste. My mom only lasted a...
Seeds Library Cafe, the brainchild of Boulder County Farmers’ Market director Brian Coppom and the result of a collaboration between the market and the City of Boulder, held a preliminary celebration this morning before the cafe's grand opening on Monday. In a beautifully designed, sunlight-filled space on the Boulder Public Library...
The Denver Caffeine Crawl poured its way through the city Saturday, hitting up four favorite local roasters who are helping to brew the local craft-coffee scene. Although this was the 36th annual crawl, that scene has been growing fast over the last five years, exploding much like the microbrewery business. ...

Earlier this month, we told you that discredited cyclist Lance Armstrong had hired Kobe Bryant's lawyer after his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, had admitted to taking the blame for Aspen car crashes when he'd actually been driving. The gig presumably resulted in some of the easiest money ever made by Pamela Mackey,...
Last year, we told you about the search for Colorado Springs' Bionca Rogers, then 21, after she'd been named in arrest warrant relating to the death of Grant Frazier, 61. Frazier's body was found in a car in Iowa, the state from which Rogers hailed. Rogers subsequently surrendered to Iowa...
From mom-and-pop barbecues to flashy dinner clubs, the diversity of Denver's restaurant scene grew with almost exponential vigor in 2015. While the sheer number of openings this year didn't match the incredible pace of 2014, the variety and depth filled in gaps to make our city a competitor among the...
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uses a death in Colorado that was tied to a marijuana cookie as an example of why there should be stricter pot-edibles regulations and better messaging about their consumption not just here but in many places across the country...
According to prosecutors, Zachary Oliver chalked up 243 violations at the Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center (LMYSC), a detention facility for juvenile offenders, before escaping in August of 2014 — a crime abetted by his brutal beating of an elderly guard with a pillowcase filled with rocks.

A teenager dies a violent death in a busy part of Denver — and the incident makes hardly a ripple in the media. Why? That's a complicated question, and the answers aren't typically discussed in polite company. But the likeliest possibilities are these: The victim, seventeen-year-old Jorge Lopez-Ramirez, was Hispanic;...
For the past several years, RedLine has featured shows that follow certain established themes. This year’s is “Play It Forward,” which curators have interpreted in a variety of ways.

Will good ideas from one chamber face ignominious defeat in the other one? A new proposal making progress in the...
Bistro Barbes opened last year in the North Park Hill neighborhood, serving French cuisine touched with North African brushstrokes. The menu is refined and evocative at the tiny eatery, so much so that it won our Best French Restaurant honor this year. Now chef-owner Jon Robbins has opened a second,...
One of the largest galleries in town, Michael Warren Contemporary, is currently hosting three freestanding solos. Each is showcased alone, free of intrusions from the sensibilities of the others.

Last month, we highlighted Estately data that showed Colorado has the second-fewest couch potatoes of any state in the country, trailing only Hawaii. But according to the folks at Find the Best.com, there are still quite a few Coloradans who aren't working up a sweat during their leisure time —...
Say the word “hydroponics” in Colorado, and only one industry comes to mind. But pot's not the crop that Colin Clark is focused on at his indoor growhouse in Fort Collins. Instead, Clark is planning to use hydroponics for our state's other favorite vice: craft beer. On Sunday, City Star...
Last December, we published a post headlined HIGH RENT IN DENVER: WHAT $1,000 A MONTH WILL GET YOU. Less than a year later, unfortunately, the piece is out of date. Rent costs have continued rising through 2015, as many of our readers have noted. But the variety of prices is...
