Denver blog posts remember. At our Show & Tell blog, Byron Graham shares memories of comic Lori Callahan, who was just 54 when she died. Colorado Pols says Bob Beauprez goes both ways on a personhood abortion ban. Denver Frank shares a graphic featuring every state’s favorite artist…
Last year, we posted about an unusual missing flier, from the owner of a Volkswagen whose mohawk was stolen. (The VW’s in my neighborhood, and I’m sorry to report that the mohawk’s never rematerialized). Now, however, there’s a new one that may be even weirder. The flier offers a reward…
Ashleigh Padilla’s Facebook page is loaded with gorgeous selfies that show her keeping up with the latest fashion trends — and recent purchases at stores such as Ulta, Victoria’s Secret and Macy’s no doubt gave her a big assist in this respect. Problem is, the Denver police believe she made…
Alan Prendergast has been reporting about Edward Montour, a prison murderer the 18th Judicial District DA’s office now headed by George Brauchler has targeted with the death penalty — a controversial effort further complicated by a changed finding in the case that landed Montour behind bars in the first place…
One of the weirdest moments in this year’s Oscars came when John Travolta pronounced the name of Frozen co-star Idina Menzel as “Adele Dazeem.” (If you missed it, we’ve included the video below.) Inspired, the folks at Slate came up with a widget that lets folks type in any name…
The Broncos have released cornerback Champ Bailey. It was a move the team had to make: Bailey was hurt most of last year, and when he wasn’t, he was a shadow of his formerly great self — plus, the decision saved the squad $10 million. And yet, there’s no joy…
Our recent posts about CU-Boulder’s decision to close the campus on 4/20 for the third consecutive year (even though April 20 coincides with Easter Sunday in 2014) brought some angry responses, as well as takes from several readers who seem to believe such bashes have reached their expiration date. Here’s…
Denver blog posts are twerking for the weekend. At our Backbeat blog, Kiernan Maletsky argues that Miley Cyrus is pop music’s greatest role model (really). Colorado Pols on who the government shutdown hurt. The site’s answer is: you. Mile High Hockey’s Cheryl Bradley issues a cease-fire request in a war…
We recently shared an Inside Edition report about smoke shacks at ski areas — after which personnel at Breckenridge destroyed Leo’s Smoke Shack, which had been featured in hidden-camera footage. But while Leo’s is gone, its spirit lives in a hilarious parody put together by photog Arthur Balluff and a…
Rocker/gun-rights fan Ted Nugent is backing Tom Tancredo for governor and has even authorized a fundraising letter in which donors are entered into a contest for a new AR-15. (See it below.) But will such support cost Tancredo as much as it gains? After all, Texas gubernatorial hopeful Gregory Abbott…
Last year, we shared our list of the ten scariest out-of-state license plates to see in a storm. But plates aren’t the only warnings of roadway dangers when the conditions are snowy, icy or, in the case of this morning, seemingly fine for the most part, but deceptively slick in…
Update: An arrest has been made in the weekend shooting of Loveland Police Officer Garret Osilka; see our previous coverage below. Cody Powell, 23, who’d been identified as a person of interest in the case, phoned the authorities from a Loveland Walmart and offered to turn himself in. He’s now…
Throughout the past several months, we’ve been keeping you up to date on the startling number of fatal avalanches that have taken place this season in Colorado and throughout the west. At last count, there have been nineteen avalanche deaths this season in the U.S., with seven in Colorado –…
Our collection of photos from a weekend crash on I-25 — one that involved 104 vehicles and led to one fatality and thirty injuries — spurred a wide variety of responses. Here’s one of the most thoughtful — a post about the dangers of taking driving in inclement weather for…
Denver blog posts are signing in. At our Show & Tell blog, Bree Davies offers advice about dismantling sexist culture one irrelevant strip-club sign at a time. Colorado Peak Politics on the official (at last) entry into the race for governor of Bob Beauprez. Denver Egotist on the local connection…
Yesterday, we told you about the decision by administrators at CU-Boulder to close the campus on 4/20 for the third consecutive year; see our previous coverage below. Presumably, there won’t be much going on in the buildings near Norlin Quad (longtime ground zero of 4/20 at CU) on the date,…
Update: Last week, we told you about the homicide arrest of Aaron Little — and then, a day or so later, Little’s release when an autopsy suggested the victim may have died from natural causes. (See our previous coverage below.) In our post, we wondered if the Denver Police Department…
Last month, we shared a letter sent by Rob Corry, attorney for the 4/20 rally at Civic Center Park, to Mayor Michael Hancock and Denver City Council. The gist: While public pot smoking is nixed by Amendment 64, the measure allows it at home — and since Civic Center Park…
Last year, CardHub.com declared Denver to be the best city in which to start a small business. Now, NerdWallet.com has taken a different angle, assembling a roster of the communities friendliest to female entrepreneurs — and once again, Denver made the cut. Continue to count down the complete top ten,…
Stephvon Atencio’s red eyes in his booking photo suggests that he’d been crying some time before the image was snapped. Presumably, those close to an elderly Lakewood man were shedding tears, too, but for a very different reason. The man was found dead in a trailer on Saturday — after…
In early January, shortly after the launch of legal recreational marijuana sales in Colorado, we posted about several pot satires that were mistaken for actual news, including one claiming that weed overdoses killed 37 people on day one of retail operations here. Michael Pristoop was among those fooled, and he…
Last week, we shared a video of Leo’s Smoke Shack in Breckenridge being blown up by ski area and U.S. Forest Service reps shortly after it was featured on Inside Edition. The clip didn’t please many of our readers, who questioned whether the action would enhance safety. This post highlights…
