Last October, we reported about the sex-assault charges against Bojan Vuckovic and Dennis Hanson, who were accused of getting two girls drunk and violently raping them. In the end, the only conviction against Vuckovic that stuck was supplying alcohol to minors, despite shocking injuries to the young woman. Now, with…
Yesterday, a few hours after we let you know about an avalanche near Keystone that killed a backcountry skier, Governor John Hickenlooper issued a warning about the danger of such slides — and no wonder. Not only have two people in Colorado died in avalanches over recent days , but…
We asked readers if they were offended or amused by a sign at a Las Vegas bar that claimed the “Broncos couldn’t beat the sick kids at St. Judes,” and we received dozens of responses from one end of that range to another. This post is among the most memorable…
In today’s edition of Denver blogs, it’s all about us. At our Cafe Society blog, Patricia Calhoun shares a comment from a reader who says camping out for Trader Joe’s Friday grand opening would be impossible — because he’s still in line at Voodoo Doughnuts. At our Show & Tell…
According to a solar jobs census conducted under the auspices of The Solar Foundation, Colorado ranked ninth in the U.S. for solar jobs, with 3,600 people employed by the industry here during 2013. See an infographic about the findings below. A cause to celebrate? Not according to Margaret McCall, an…
Update: Earlier this month, we told you about the arrest of Quinton Stanley after a child in his care died; see our previous coverage below. Although the mother of the two year old had only been in a relationship with Stanley for two months or so, she stood by him…
Last August, we told you about a controversial portion of Boulder’s ten year plan to fight homelessness: the targeting of so-called “unwelcoming behavior,” much of it pinned to members of the community’s homeless population. Now, a Boulder City Council study group has taken on a very similar subject, tagged “social…
Back in 2012, Kelsey Whipple shared a collection of ten strange Colorado items from FOUND Magazine, a website and book series that specialize in notes, letters and photos sent in by folks from across the country — many of them hilarious, poignant, disturbing or some combination thereof. Nearly two years…
For the third consecutive day, we have sad news to report about the death of a skier in the Colorado high country — and the second in the vicinity of the Keystone ski area. But while the previous tragedy, involving a 46-year-old man who died after smashing into a tree…
The tragic Weld County deaths of Alisha Johns and her mom, Sheri Pachello, as well as the suicide of Cimmeron Johns, Alisha’s husband and the women’s presumed killer, may have taken place late last week, but the story may not be over. A friend of Cimmeron could conceivably face charges,…
Denver blog posts remain open. At our Show and Tell blog, Bree Davies writes an obituary for Kazoo Toys in Cherry Creek North. Coyote Gulch on January’s snowy, wet finale. Denver Infill’s Ken Schroeppel on a new Golden Triangle project: the Kirkland Museum…
Our post about reports of students consuming marijuana in class using vape pens generated lots of strong reactions. Here’s a post by a reader who’s equally tough on teachers and vape-pen users…
The Broncos’ loss to Seattle in the Super Bowl was an awful experience for every true fan of the team. But hundreds of Coloradans also experienced something considerably worse — and the vast majority of them got what they deserved: arrested. Specifically, the state Department of Transportation says 315 drivers…
So you think your neighbor’s a pain in the ass? If the portrait of 74-year-old Silverio Nuanez painted in a complaint filed against him by the Boulder DA’s office is accurate, he’s allowed his abode to deteriorate into such a hellhole that even the church across the street wants something…
Last June, we told you about a triple shooting at 1235 Albion that injured two people and killed one man, Gabriel Scott. Early on, Tayvon Martin, 21, was the prime suspect, but shortly after the shooting, he fled the state. Then, earlier this month, cops learned Martin was back –…
A lot’s changed since July 2013, when we published our previous post highlighting the six most expensive homes for sale in Denver, as featured on The Home Cart website. Of that half-dozen properties, four are now gone, and one that remains has had its price reduced by nearly half-a-million clams…
Update: Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve told you about the efforts to reopen Red Mountain Pass, which has been closed to unfettered traffic since January 12, when falling rocks smashed onto Highway 550 south of Ouray, with others on the cliff side dangerously close to following…
Yesterday at about this time, we told you about the fourth death at a Colorado resort during the current ski season — a 46-year-old man who died after crashing into a tree at Keystone. Little did we know at the time that a fifth skier had also lost his life:…
As we’ve noted, official tourism agencies in Colorado continue to keep marijuana at arm’s length, as it were. For instance, a VISIT DENVER list of things the city has in common with Seattle, released prior to the Super Bowl, somehow managed to skip legal pot entirely. Not that the media…
Denver blog posts ain’t got no body. The Redheaded Slut counters all manner of negativity in a piece entitled “I Am Taking My Body Back.” At our Backbeat blog, meet incoming music editor Kiernan Maletsky. Colorado Pols believes Magpul, a firearms firm that received a giant grant for relocating from…
Melanie Asmar’s post about a report that found landlord bias against blacks, Latinos and families stirred up a lot of conversation among our readers. Some believed the results, while some doubted them. This reader falls into the latter category…
More than a week after the Broncos’ Super Bowl loss to Seattle, plenty of fans are still sensitive to the size and scope of the defeat. An example? At this writing, one of the five most viewed posts on the Colorado Springs Gazette website is an article from Las Vegas…
