A proprietary risk-evaluation algorithm that crunched variables like cast, release date, relative examples in the...
In recent days, we've been reporting about the proliferation of officer-involved shootings in Aurora — three in May thus far. But there's been plenty of bloodshed in Aurora that's not directly tied to cops gunning down suspects. Overnight, three people died in the community as a result of two shootings...
We recently told you about a home invasion in Golden involving three males allegedly in search of drugs and cash who are said to have entered the wrong house — a mistake that resulted in the stabbing of the male resident and one suspect. We now know much more about...

Experimental pop band Holophrase has always existed on the fringes of Denver, whether with its difficult-to-qualify musical style or in its living arrangements. The band currently resides in Henderson, a community in Adams County. At the end of a dirt driveway, three-fourths of the band shares the basement of a house and a garage. Outside, you can see undeveloped fields, an increasingly rare sight in most of the metro area.
Update: Last month, a judge sealed a photo of singer Taylor Swift and former Denver DJ David Mueller at the request of lawyers referencing the pair, who are currently locked in legal contact. Mueller sued Swift on the allegation that she had led to his firing by falsely accusing him of...
The room, with its floor of lighted squares, seems small and isolated in darkness. It’s edged by the black metal railings of the fire escape.

Flour, water, salt and yeast: the four ingredients needed to make a loaf of bread, by the standard modern reckoning. But you can scratch one of those ingredients off the list: According to a few top bakers in Denver and Boulder counties, yeast isn’t needed. At least not in the...
One of the most powerful documentaries of 2016, Keith Maitland’s Tower immerses the viewer in the 1966 massacre at the University of Texas, during which Charles Whitman fired from a clock-tower in Austin, shooting 49 people and killing 16.

Although Andrew Rodgers was named the director of the Denver Film Society in January, the just-wrapped 39th annual Denver Film Festival was, in some ways, a coming-out party for him.

Denver Ordinance 300, which is on the ballot this November, would allow businesses to opt into allowing marijuana on their premises.

When it comes to humble beginnings, Denver’s No Direction Records just might take the cake. The label’s origins resemble something out of a Silicon Valley success story (even if the similarities begin and end there). Founder Evan Kallas started the label out of his father’s basement in Wyoming in the...
It’s early evening in a parking lot outside a DoubleTree in northeast Denver. At the north end of the lot is a 1987 Winnebago with seven people inside, gathered around a table covered with cannabis products: a concentrate pen, a dab rig, some bud flower and edibles. Once most of...

Words can't do justice to the singular power of Keith Maitland’s documentary Tower, a you-are-there reconstruction of the harrowing 1966 mass shooting at the University of Texas at Austin, where 25-year-old former Marine and engineering student Charles Whitman planted himself in the school’s clock tower and shot 49 people, killing...
