Our post about the Offenses Against Unborn Children Act inspired comments aplenty. Readers passionately debated whether the measure, sponsored by Senate President Bill Cadman, is a way to insure that victims like Michelle Wilkins, whose unborn baby died after it was cut from her womb, see justice, or if it’s a…
Denver blogs have an active fantasy life. At our Food & Restaurants blog, Adam Roy has the skinny on Dungeons & Drafts, a Fort Collins venue slated to open in June. The Colorado Independent’s John Tomasic looks at “another soft-focus fracking story from the gas patch.” At Purple Row, Ryan…
It will come as a surprise to precisely no one that Westword has been absolutely inundated with marijuana-related product pitches in the days leading up to what’s likely to be the largest 4/20 celebration in Colorado history. But the one from the folks at California-based Hemp Hookahzz definitely grabbed our attention. The…
Last week, Skinner Middle Schools was placed on lockdown after reports that three students were in possession of weapons. Now, the trio — a fourteen-year-old and two twelve-year-olds (one of whom was only eleven at the time of the incident) — has been formally charged as juveniles with felonies and…
Colorado is typically listed among the least obese states in the country. But not all Colorado counties are created equal when it comes to this category. The folks at FindTheBest.com crunched the obesity numbers for counties across the country, including Colorado, using 2012 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control. The…
It’s been more than six months since we last shared the updated list of Colorado’s most wanted sex offenders — a roster that got a big shakeup after Calvin Nagy, who’d held down the number-one spot, was arrested in Mexico. As you might expect, there have been additional changes since…
As we noted in our recent post about a bill to allow lawsuits against schools involved in shootings — which was approved by the Colorado Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday — the legislation was inspired by the December 2013 shooting at Arapahoe High School that took the life of student Claire…
Denver blogs are colorful creations. At our Arts blog, Lindsey Bartlett curates a photo gallery of the ten best new street murals to pop up in Denver this spring. Colorado Pols on the national gay group Log Cabin Republicans getting the boot from the Western Conservative Summit. Mile High Mamas features…
Bobbi Ann Finley made headlines across the globe five years ago as the so-called “Military Mistress” — a woman who married a grand total of fifteen men in the armed services, in an apparent effort to empty their bank accounts. These days, Finley is out of jail, but she’s wanted in…
Back in December, fast-food workers rallied in Denver to demand a $15 hourly wage — part of a nationwide campaign dubbed Fight for 15. Yesterday, another Fight for 15 event was staged at a McDonald’s near the Auraria campus — one of what organizers say were 236 similar events across the…
How hot is the real estate market in the Denver area these days? So steamy that buyers are routinely writing offers above the asking price, and often way above it. According to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, offers of rom $10,000 to $50,000 over list are far from uncommon. “Buyers…
Since we first told you about the firing of two TSA agents over an alleged scheme at Denver International Airport to allow a male officer to grope the crotches of cute men, the story has gone national. And it’s not going away anytime soon. Reports have surfaced about more alleged…
In a recent post, we noted that Thrillist had chosen Capitol Hill as one of America’s ten most beautiful neighborhoods. Plenty of readers agreed with this designation. However, a surprising number of them had negative things to say about the area. Here are a selection of responses representing both points…
Denver blog posts love getting all dolled up. A classic from our Arts blog and writer Tiffany Fitzgerald: Photographer Sarah Haney discusses why Barbie makes so many bad decisions. Colorado Peak Politics on Senator Bill Cadman’s Offenses Against Unborn Children proposal: “Not Everything is Personhood.” Denver Stiffs’ Nate Timmons on…
Back in 2012, a Denver radio station at 107.1 FM that had been playing EDM transformed into Pot 107.1, a marijuana-themed format. The whole thing turned out to be an attention-getting joke that was never intended to last. The station quickly ditched the sound and is currently playing throwback hip-hop. Now,…
Last December, we told you the story of Ian Santamaria, who killed himself in his car after being pulled over by deputies. The events that ended with the death of Loveland’s Christopher Bush has similar elements, but there was a key difference. In Santamaria’s case, police opened fire after a weapon…
Back in February, questioning of jurors in the trial of James Holmes, the shooter in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, got underway. Just over two months later, 24 jurors — twelve who’ll serve as the jury, plus twelve alternatives — have been selected. The nineteen women and five men, whose identities…
Earlier this year, we posted about the Urban Dictionary term Coloradon’t, defined as “Douchey things you shouldn’t do in Colorado” — and came up with our own Coloradon’t list. But Coloradon’t is hardly the site’s only creative twist on our great state’s name. There’s also ColoradOwned, which means “to be owned…
In a recent post about the third volume of a report attacking Colorado’s legalization of limited marijuana sales, we noted that those opposing the state’s policies have yet to mute their criticism even though more than a year has passed since recreational shops began doing business. But judging by a…
Our post about sex times by state noted that Coloradans timed by a new app didn’t seem to last as long as lovers in plenty of other states. This wouldn’t seem to be a positive in the cosmic scheme of things. But according to one of our readers, he would have…
Denver blog posts think it’s possible to look forward and look back at the same time. At our Arts blog, Bree Davies highlights the five best sites for looking at Denver’s past. At Mile High Report, Laurie Lattimore-Volkmann notes receiver Emmanuel Sanders’s take on the world-championship message being delivered by…
Any lawyer worth his or her credentials will tell clients thinking about skipping out on court dates that doing so will only make things worse. Given that, it makes a certain kind of sense that Boulder attorney Emily Cohen is a wanted woman at this writing, after failing to appear…
