Bionca Rogers’ Facebook page is filled with happy photos co-starring friends, family and an adorable little girl — and Rogers herself seems not to have a care in the world. She does now, however. She’s been named in a first-degree murder warrant pertaining to the death of Grant Frazier, a…
Back in 2012, our William Breathes offered an in-depth tour of smoke shacks — low-key structures at numerous Colorado ski resorts where particularly kind skiers stop to smoke a little pot before getting back to the slopes. Now, Inside Edition has discovered these venerable attractions, but the hilariously hysterical tone…
One of our most liked and shared posts of the past week was William Breathes’s item noting that the clock at under-construction Union Station has been frozen at 4:20. We’ve gotten plenty of amused, and amusing, comments, too. Here’s an example…
Denver blog posts are good enough to eat — figuratively speaking, anyhow. At our Cafe Society blog, Patricia Calhoun shares a comment from a reader who sees advantages to dining at non-participating eateries during Denver Restaurant Week. Coyote Gulch on an award-winning San Miguel River project. Colorado Pols: Make room…
Last year’s slaying of Douglas Menjivar in Glenwood Springs was followed by lurid reports. Among the claims: Fredy Cabrera, a prominent local businessman, had shot Menjivar for going out with his eighteen-year-old stepdaughter, Leydy Trejo, because he wanted to have more than a fatherly relationship with her. Such rumors appear…
One of the most vigorous legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, is taking place right here.

When it comes to the faith, a couple of Colorado cities have represented extremes in recent surveys, with Colorado Springs listed as one of the most saintly and Boulder called one of the least religious. But what about the state as a whole? A new Gallup poll ranks all fifty…
Update: Late last month, we told you about the Highway 93 crash involving Kenneth Hosch, age 83 — an incident that killed Dave Baldwin, a veteran Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office sergeant; see our previous coverage below. Now, after the better part of a month, Hosch has been arrested on suspicion…
In most cases, crashes involving RTD buses take place during busy commuting hours. But that’s not the case with an accident that happened near the intersection of Mississippi and Platte River Drive. A bus struck a passenger vehicle during the wee hours, when traffic is typically very light. And the…
Last week, we told you about the soft launch of Terrapin Care Station, Boulder’s first recreational marijuana store.

Local football fans were heartsick after the Broncos were thrashed by Seattle in this year’s Super Bowl. But are they so distraught that they’d eagerly welcome Tim Tebow back to Denver? That’s a prospect being floated by folks from the A-11 Football League, which is teasing a possible Denver franchise…
Postcards have become something of an anachronism. Why send a vacation curio via snail mail when you might beat it home — and you’ve already sent photos and videos over the phone? But there’s no arguing that the most memorable of them are eye-popping fun. For proof, check out these…
Last night was a particularly bloody one in the metro area, with much of the carnage taking place in a typically quiet portion of Thornton. The street in question sports the bucolic suburban name of Welby Road Terrace. Three bodies have been found, and investigators believe they represent the tragic…
We witnessed a comment explosion after publishing about Governor John Hickenlooper’s suggestions about how to spend $100 million-plus in marijuana revenue, with most of the money earmarked for prevention campaigns and law-enforcement efforts. Here’s one of the pithiest takes…

See our previous coverage below. Unfortunately, the story’s sad ending is told by an event tomorrow in…
The Denver Police Department has historically looked the other way in regard to marijuana smoking during the annual 4/20 rally at Civic Center Park. But as we reported a few days back, rally organizers are concerned about threats to issue citations this year — so much so that fest attorney…
It’s a good news-bad news situation for the Colorado School of Mines. Good news: The college is known around the country for the brilliance of its students. Bad news: This reputation has resulted in a whole series of online Mines jokes, with many of the weirdest ones involving pickup lines…
