Last week, Santino Walter, co-producer of this year’s 4/20 Rally at Civic Center Park, predicted that the event, which had been rescheduled for May 21 after the original bash was postponed due to a snowstorm, would be a big success despite taking place more than a month later than planned…
Our post previewing this past week’s Denver Modern Home Tour asked readers if they loved or loathed the sort of new designs popping up in so many parts of the Mile High City these days. Most of those who responded weren’t fans. But while some despised the looks of these contemporary…
In recent years, we’ve shared multiple reports about satirical marijuana hoaxes that plenty of people actually believed. Note the March 2015 story claiming that pot candy killed nine people in Colorado and twelve at Coachella, or the bogus October 2015 item about a Colorado McDonald’s with a pot-smoking section —…
As we’ve reported, the number of officer-involved shootings in the metro area has been on the rise, particularly in Aurora, where three OIS incidents have taken place in May. Even so, it came as a shock to Boulder residents when such a shooting took place in that idyllic community, too…
In recent days, we’ve been reporting about the proliferation of officer-involved shootings in Aurora — three in May thus far. But there’s been plenty of bloodshed in Aurora that’s not directly tied to cops gunning down suspects. Overnight, three people died in the community as a result of two shootings…

Last week, we told you about a new clue in one of Pueblo’s longest-running missing person cases — the disappearance of Kelsie Schelling in 2013, shortly after she learned she was pregnant. Specifically, the Pueblo Police Department obtained security footage showing a vehicle driven by a man who allegedly stole…
Police believe a recent home invasion in Golden in which a middle-school teacher was critically wounded happened because three suspects looking for $10,000 in drugs and cash went to the wrong address. Initial reports didn’t specify that the drug in question was marijuana, but plenty of those who responded to our…

Of late, there have been reports aplenty about seemingly endless security lines at airports throughout the country, including here in Denver. And even more people have been venting their spleen on social media. We’re guessing such folks won’t be placated by comments just made by a spokesman for the Transportation…
Chelsea Yasser was a 21-year-old mom from Arizona who recently visited Colorado. During the trip, Yasser was murdered. And now, police have released a new video they hope will lead them to her killer. Yasser was a devoted Facebooker. She had at least five pages, with the galleries in most…
This month, colleges across Colorado have wrapped up classes for the 2015-2016 school year, including Colorado Mesa University, one of my many almae matres (don’t ask). And judging by the posts recently shared on the Colorado Mesa University Confessions Facebook page, the experience has been an up-and-down affair. Especially for…
We’re guessing that Pueblo County officials weren’t terribly amused by a segment last night in The Nightly Show, the Larry Wilmore-hosted Daily Show spin-off on Comedy Central. That’s because they were portrayed as both incredibly stoned and hopelessly incompetent. The bit, on view below, is part of a new feature on the…
There was a big reaction to a recent Comment of the Day prompted by threats from Anonymous to expose Denver mayor Michael Hancock’s alleged ties to the Denver Players prostitution ring if he doesn’t resign and change his homeless policies. In that post, a reader maintained that he doesn’t care…

Plenty of Denver Broncos fans would love to see Tim Tebow play quarterback for the team again, as he did during the 2011-2012 season, when he led the squad to the playoffs and a opening-round victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers — the first Denver playoff win since 2005. Last month,…
As we noted in our memorial post about cycling pioneer Mike Rust, Colorado is arguably the birthplace of the modern mountain-biking movement. But that doesn’t mean everyone here likes the presence of two-wheelers on mountain trails. Note reports that nail strips have been found planted along a popular trail in…
Duane “Dog” Chapman, better known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, is reportedly back in Denver, where he first got into the bounty hunting business before finding fame as a reality TV star. But the reason isn’t a happy one. He and his wife, Beth Chapman, announced that they were flying from their…
