We recently offered mini-tours of the six most expensive homes for sale in Denver right now. Today, we flip that script. The least-expensive properties for sale on the MetroDenverHomeListings.com website at present are mostly one-bedroom condos in the 600-800 square foot range.

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. In a letter read by Lewis during an early October 2014 program,…
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…

After the Broncos schooled former Denver quarterback Brock Osweiler by way of a 27-9 beatdown of his new team, the Houston Texans, on the October 24 edition of Monday Night Football, Twitter exploded with derision over the signal-caller’s flamboyant mediocrity, epitomized by what may be the first perfect-spiral fumble in NFL history…

I’m not proud of it, but I have to admit: I’ve never wished more professional ill on a football player than I do on Brock Osweiler. Although Osweiler was erratic during his fill-in stints under center in Denver last year, the supposed heir apparent as Broncos quarterback did well enough to…
Update: In two separate posts published in May 2015, we reported about the arrest of Eric Fuhs, Derek Webb and Chad Baluska for the murder of 61-year-old Samuel Grady, Fuhs’s uncle.

It’s legal for women to be topless in Denver, as evidenced by the hundreds who marched along the 16th Street Mall as part of Go Topless Denver Day this summer. But as we’ve reported, the laws are different in Fort Collins, where an organization called Go Topless Fort Collins has spent…

George Brauchler is seeking reelection as district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, but it’s not exactly a race. The Democrats didn’t bother putting up a candidate for the office, and even if they had, Brauchler, a GOP up-and-comer who flirted with a U.S. Senate run before changing his mind, would…
Donald Trump Jr. made plenty of news during his visit to Colorado this week — a lot of it embarrassing or worse. Junior was denied a campaign stop at the Sink in Boulder around the same time that remarks surfaced about a joke he’d made about the Aurora theater shooting. On…
Earlier this year, Colorado Democrat Michael Bennet seemed to be one of the most vulnerable of all U.S. Senators up for reelection. But if he’s feeling the heat from Republican senatorial nominee Darryl Glenn, who most polls show Bennet leading comfortably, he certainly isn’t showing any sweat. During a campaign…
