He and his New York-based business partner “never scored it big,” he says, but he did take something valuable away from the experience.

Last month, I retired from a fifty-year-long career caring for women in Lakewood as an OBGYN. I’ve seen many changes in the way we practice medicine and in how our country approaches women’s health. But in all my years of practice, I am most terrified now for the future of women’s health care in Colorado and in the United States.

Mira Nair’s Queen of Katwe is a true-life tale transformed into an inspirational fable. That’s not novel for the movies, but in this director’s hands, the results are mostly enchanting. The film follows Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga), an impoverished Ugandan girl who became a chess champion at the age of...
Denver is the worst city for dating in 2017 because too many Mile High City men make little or no effort when it comes to what they're doing, where they're going or how they dress, speak or act during such outings. In general, these lazy slackers would just as soon hang out with their bros than treat a date like she's special. And while this behavior exasperates plenty of women, most of these potential partners let them get away with it.
These days, Lucia Guzman can be seen sporting a casual look — shorts, a cotton blouse and cat-eye sunglasses — a marked departure from the suits she wore while serving at the Capitol this year.
We know the many benefits cannabis has in regards to physical health, but could it have the same effect on anxiety?
How do you document in a film the crack-up of something as complex as a city a quarter-century past? A pair of new documentaries about the Los Angeles riots of April, 1992 take wildly different approaches — and produce wildly different results. In the vigorous and illuminating Let It Fall:...
It's not easy to draw a line in the sand when it comes to the recent phenomenon that is hazy, New England-style IPAs. Although many local brewers and breweries tried to forswear them over the past eighteen months since they took Colorado by storm, a good number of those ended...

History Colorado's 29th Annual Cemetery Crawl will take place tomorrow, Saturday, October 28, at Fairmount Cemetery in Denver, and while it's officially sold out, there may still be a chance to attend. Get details below. But former Denver auditor Dennis Gallagher, who'll accompany historian and host Tom Noel, also known as Dr. Colorado, during the event, notes that threats against two historic cemeteries in the city may be scarier than any pre-Halloween meander through the tombstones.
Some naysayers were concerned that Pirate's move to Lakewood would mark the end of the artists' co-op as a place to see cutting-edge art by some of the city’s most interesting artists, but the current shows by Eric Anderson and Charles Livingston should put those fears firmly to rest.
Former Congressman Tom Tancredo is running for governor of Colorado in 2008. It's Tancredo's third bid for the office, and he remains as outspoken as ever on topics such as immigration, education, health care, marijuana and more, as he demonstrates in this frank and wide-ranging question-and-answer session.
Play it safe at Senor Bear and you don't be disappointed. But at its best, the restaurant is playful, creative and rooted in Latin tradition.
It’s stunning how quickly things are evolving these days in the craft-beer industry: styles, trends, rules and regulations, even the packages that beer is sold in.

One year ago today, on June 9, 2016, Ryan Wood Moss, a 23-year-old University of Colorado-Colorado Springs student, fell to his death at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. His body was found five days later, and an autopsy showed elevated levels of both alcohol and THC in his bloodstream. However, his mother insists that he was neither drunk nor high at the time of his fatal accident. Rather, she believes that hot temperatures at the park prior to the discovery of his remains produced a false positive for alcohol intoxication, and a nationally recognized medical examiner says she could be right.
On Friday, March 2, news broke that Nick Dawkins had resigned as principal of Manual High School, and the initial letter describing the reasons behind his decision was exceedingly polite, albeit with an edge of sadness. But the following day, in an essay entitled "Why I Left Denver Public Schools," Dawkins was much more blunt, revealing that a controversy over reports of a confederate flag at a Manual-Weld Central High School football game last September was among the factors that led to his departure. "For weeks as this situation played out I was targeted by those that called me a nigger and vowed to bring harm to me," Dawkins wrote.
A man living in the metro area says the response of the Denver Police Department to the recent theft of his vehicle was so slow, rude and ineffectual that he decided to search for it himself. He adds that many hours later, after finding the vehicle on his own, the officer he called to clear the case was more polite than his predecessors. But the cop's comments about the charges and fees he'd incur for an investigation and the long odds of catching the culprit ultimately convinced him that the DPD would be of no help. So he took the vehicle home and shared his experiences on a neighborhood Internet bulletin board, prompting plenty of similar tales from folks living near him.
