In 2008, the Denver Post published an article set at East Colfax’s Sand & Sage under the banner “Families Reach Last-Stop Motel.” Sadly, this headline proved to be prophetic in the case of a woman in her twenties. She’s dead and the person who shot her is on the loose at this writing. Here’s…
During the run-up to July 4 a couple of years ago, we shared some amazing ads spotlighting weird and/or offensive fireworks from days gone by from a collection curated by FireworksLand.com. A return trip to the site reveals another treasure trove of images — a gallery of antique fireworks postcards…
“Brett Ryan Mosher is 27 years-old and is a Parker resident.” He was arrested by the Parker Police Department for “Soliciting for Child Prostitution after engaging in communication with the intent to engage in sexual acts with a child.” “Also as a part of the April operation effort, 31 year-old…
We regularly receive interesting comments, memorable comments, pointed comments, passionate comments and hilarious comments. But it’s not often that a comment manages to combine all of these qualities. Fortunately, one that fits this last description was shared on our recent post about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage…
Denver blogs generally like whatever Taylor Swift likes. At our Music blog, Isa Jones argues that it’s time to take Ed Sheeran seriously. Excellent Colorado Peak Politics headline: “BUG OUT! Chinese Wasps to Battle the Ash Borer for Supremacy in Boulder.” Roundball Mining Company’s Colin Deaver addresses the Denver Nuggets’…
It sounds a bit like the Dave Chappelle sketch about a blind white supremacist who doesn’t realize he’s actually black. But according to police, it actually happened in Colorado Springs. That’s where members of a historically black church have been terrorized for weeks by racist messages referencing the Klu Klux Klan…

Back in March, we told you about the arrest of Sky Wodraska. The Breckenridge man was busted for attempted murder, assault, kidnapping and child abuse, with one of the victims being a fourteen-year-old girl who reportedly greeted the officer who rescued her after being stabbed with these words: “Don’t let…
Pity the folks behind the MSU Denver Confession Facebook page. They tried for over a year to get the page going, with a stated goal of rivaling or surpassing the biggest page of its type in the area, CU Boulder Confessions. But alas, the mission failed: The last post went…
The flooding that took place in Boulder County in 2013 wasn’t expected to repeat itself anytime soon — and thus far, it hasn’t. However, our recent wet spell has resulted in several Colorado rivers to flood on a smaller scale, and waters are running high enough to be more dangerous…
Over the past few years, one state after another has blamed Colorado’s marijuana laws for endangering its citizens — and prompting cannabis crackdowns within its borders. We’ve posted about alleged pot profiling in Kansas and Wyoming, accompanied by assertions that Colorado is likely the source of the weed. And, of course,…
In recent days, a December post about micro-apartments in the old Hotel VQ building renting for nearly $1,000 even though they’re around 330 square feet went viral again. Why? Likely due to reports such as this one about how quickly they’re filling up despite the big bucks required to reserve such a space…
Denver blog posts work at all hours. At our Food & Drink blog, Lindsey Bartlett highlights the ten best places for late-night eats in Denver. The Colorado Independent’s Nancy Lofholm tells the tale of cops who tried calming a mentally ill man with a stun gun. Big Media’s Jason Salzman…
In March 2014, we noted that the Colorado Supreme Court had agreed to hear a challenge to Douglas County School District’s controversial voucher system. More than a year later, the court has ruled — and its decision marks a victory for the plaintiffs and a setback for DougCo school board…
Back in October 2014, we told you about the arrest of Scot Copher for allegedly trying to hire a fellow prisoner to kill a teenager he’d abused for years. Not long before, another prisoner, Christian Harvey, had been acquitted of a similar hit scheme hatched behind bars. Not Copher. He’s…
Since last October, we’ve been keeping you up to date on the progress of an amazing project being assembled by Chris Harrison and the folks at Videoblend: one-hundred Instagram videos that reveal 100 reasons why Colorado is awesome, issued under the AWSMColorado umbrella. Our first collection assembled reasons 100-88, while our second,…
Last week, we shared body camera footage of Trinidad Officer Ron Arlint killing Todd Dye, a wanted man hiding in a supposedly abandoned trailer. In that case, the video exonerated Arlint, since it showed Dye pulling a weapon and the officer returning fatal fire. A new body camera clip out…
Drug warriors hated Amendment 64, a 2012 measure that aimed to legalize limited recreational marijuana sales in Colorado. But A64’s passage hardly struck a fatal blow against the War on Drugs, as a pair of events last week demonstrate. On Friday, the United Nations issued its 2015 World Drug Report,…
Our post about ESPN host Colin Cowherd saying he’d trade Peyton Manning in a minute if he was in charge of the Broncos because his arm is cooked inspired a lot of fan debate. A large number of respondents agreed that Manning’s best days are behind him. However, there was a considerable…
Denver blog posts put safety first. At our Music blog, Ben Westhoff argues that we’re still a long way from being realistic about drug use at festivals. At Denver Stiffs, Evan Wheeler grades the NBA draft of the Denver Nuggets and the team’s northwest conference rivals. Denver Infill’s Ken Schroeppel offers…
We recently wrote about Denver’s hottest housing markets and why so many properties are selling for above list price. But the heat isn’t limited to real estate in the metro area. In fact, a slew of markets in Colorado are among the most scorching in the entire country. The source…
One of the selling points for pedicabs is that people who’ve overindulged can use them to travel safely from place to place. But that wasn’t the case for one Denver woman. After passing out in a pedicab, she awoke semi-nude in a downtown alley to discover that she’d been sexually…
