The irascible and irrepressible Jack McCroskey passed away last week. The scant details in the Denver Post report and his online obit don't even provide his age, which had to be at least 88, and nothing of the acerbic wit and passionate citizen activism that propelled him into public office...

In the last decades of the twentieth century, conceptualism was on the upswing in the wake of pop art and minimalism, both of which have big conceptual components.

As of this writing, the Netflix Instant catalogue boasts more than 10,000 titles available for online streaming -- a number that, as per the official Netflix rhetoric, seems colossal. But the landscape of this digital paradise may not be quite so idyllic. As classic-film enthusiast Jaime Christley reminds us, "If...
Last month, CU professor Patti Adler was called on the carpet over a prostitution skit that's long been part of a class entitled "Deviance in U.S. Society," with Adler supporters blasting the university for what they saw as attacks on academic freedom and Adler personally. In the end, the administration...
In A Federal Case, I'll be eating my way up Federal Boulevard -- south to north -- within Denver city limits. I'll be skipping the national chains and per-scoop Chinese joints, but otherwise I'll report from every vinyl booth, walk-up window and bar stool where food is served. Here's the...

Years ago, when my teenager was a toddler, we ate at Spanky's Roadhouse more times than I can count. After all, a burger and a shake is every kid's dream dinner. Once Elliott discovered sushi and Thai food, however, the weekly ritual ceased, and we stopped going to Spanky's, which...
Although Tim Tebow hasn't been a Denver Bronco since March 2012, when he was traded to the New York Jets, he remains a favorite of many in these parts, since he achieved his greatest professional glory wearing orange and blue. And even though he's out of football at the moment,...
After months of study by the 76-member Pioneer Mascot Steering Committee, which included an online survey sent to 78,032 members of the greater University of Denver community, the committee just released its decision on the hunt for a new mascot.

Dear Stoner: The recent issue about whether people can smoke in public view, like on personal patios or balconies, has me a little confused and irritated. Non-smokers say smoking pot in public view is dangerous to families and might influence children the "wrong way," but I feel that cigarettes are...
Deck the pols! For the first time that anyone can remember, the same local photographer has created holiday cards for both Denver's mayor and Colorado's governor. Evan Semón, who's done work for everyone from Visit Denver to assorted nonprofits to happy newlyweds (see his work at evansemon.com), got the assignments...

Amendment 64 legalized the possession and use of limited amounts of pot for adults 21 and over, but it didn't legalize public consumption of cannabis on streets, sidewalks, parks or any other public place, for that matter. But apparently that message didn't quite reach Denver and Boulder residents, as public...
You may be pinching pennies, but that doesn't mean you have to stay home and re-watch all seven seasons of Buffy on Netflix (though that does seem like a solid option). There are plenty of inexpensive activities in Denver this weekend, from art openings to a screening of Eraserhead. Keep...
Update: In our post yesterday about the fourth annual Colorado Gives Day, we wondered whether Coloradans would be more generous than last year, when the 24-hour online fundraising bonanza raised more than $15 million. We now know that the answer is yes. According to the Community First Foundation, which founded...
As you know, real marijuana is now legal for 21-and-over adults in Colorado, at least in small amounts. But smokable "synthetic marijuana" remains illegal -- and a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows why.
