The U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum outside Florence, Colorado, better known as ADX, has a deserved reputation as the highest-security supermax prison on the planet. It houses some of the most notorious inmates in North America — from Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and shoe bomber Richard Reid to Aryan Brotherhood leader Barry...

The new year is upon us and with it comes twelve more months ready to be filled to the brim with films, be they classic or new, fancy or just famous. We continue to be lucky to host such robust and varied cinematic possibilities in our city and so, after...
A lot of us like to think of Denver as the best sports city in America — especially on a day like today. After all, the excitement is as high for tonight's nationally broadcast Broncos-Chiefs game as if it was taking place in Colorado instead of Kansas City. But while...
The Denver Police Department has revealed that seven pot shops were caught selling marijuana to a person under age 21 in a recent compliance sweep; we've got the details below. The DPD was clearly aiming to make a big splash with the announcement, and it's succeeded, with news operations throughout...
Fall brings variety to Denver galleries: From abstract visions and incisive figurative worlds to contemporary folk pieces, there's art for every taste this weekend. Here's where to find it. New Works: Heather Patterson and Barbara Sorensen, with Mark Penner Howell, Patricia Finley and Mel Rea in the back gallery Walker...
KBTV Channel 9 went on the air on October 12, 1952, when few houses in Denver had televisions. But that changed quickly, and the next year the staton moved from its makeshift studio into a spanking-new headquarters at 1089 Bannock Street. OK, MAKE SURE THE SENTENCES ABOVE MATCH WHAT'S IN...

When Colorado Maker Hub teams up with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science this weekend for the Denver Mini Maker Faire, the result will be a geekophile’s paradise, a thriving village of more than 100 tinkerers, artisans, tech nerds, robot-builders, Daleks and droids. We’d be hard-pressed to name them...
Collaborations between breweries and bands are nothing new. But with the explosion of craft breweries in the Denver area, this year has brought an unprecedented number of band-themed beers. With the Great American Beer Festival in town, we thought this would be the perfect time to explore six of those...
From the moment it opened, four years ago this month, the Clyfford Still Museum has been one of the city’s greatest cultural treasures. Located inside a lovely little concrete building, the museum is dedicated to the conservation and presentation of the work of the legendary abstract-expressionist pioneer Clyfford Still, who,...
Aurora's Mark Novak and his teenage son just made quite a memory together. If either of them can remember it, that is. Why wouldn't they? Novak and his progeny were found drunk and unconscious at an airport in New Orleans — and papa led the way in the blotto sweepstakes,...
Sometimes the name says it all. Adam Stone’s initial idea for Cabal Gallery’s big birthday bash was to simply call it Ew — and according to resident artist Mar Williams, “I think most of our art evokes a bit of that.” Cabal got its start last October, when a group of...
How do Colorado jails and prisons house transgender prisoners? In part, it depends on their policies. In reporting this week's feature, "No Way Out," we researched the policies of the federal Bureau of Prisons, the Colorado Department of Corrections and the Denver Sheriff Department, which runs the Denver County Jail...

Broncos fans who bailed out on last night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs in the middle of the second quarter no doubt woke up shocked this morning. Early on, Denver's offense looked horrific once again, with the line allowing one pass rusher after another to abuse Peyton Manning. He...
Since spring 2009, a singularly dedicated group of theater pros have regularly gathered to stage new, short works by local writers: all at the same time, all sharing a theme, for one night only. And they've done it six times a year. This string of bold, entertaining One Night Stands...
Regular Denver Film Festival-goers tend to judge their experiences in part by the percentage of good movies to lousy ones they see before each edition of DFF runs its course. By that measure, my experiences since catching Charlie Kaufman's low-key, defiantly weird Anomalisa on the fest's opening night this past Wednesday...
Last week I started a conversation about the rules of restaurant criticism — or rather, the modern-day lack thereof. Some guidelines remain in effect: Professional critics should not accept free food, for example. Others are increasingly optional, such as anonymity, though in my opinion a critic who publishes his or...
The Farm House at Breckenridge Brewery is more than a place to drink beer and play corn hole while watching the sun go down. As I write in this week’s review of the Farm House, it’s Exhibit A of a bigger movement afoot, that of brewery-based restaurants that are draws...
Trine Bumiller: 100 Paintings for 100 Years, now at the McNichols Building, is unquestionably one of the best exhibits of the year — if only for the breadth of Bumiller’s vision. That vision took shape last summer when Bumiller, who lives in Denver, was selected to be an artist-in-residence at...

This week saw a number of openings and closings haunted by the spirits of Denver restaurant history. Spruce Tap House closed without notice after only seven months on Blake Street, the victim of a redevelopment project that will result in new condos. The space had seen a fair amount of...
Fox31/CW 2's Greg Nieto...
A lot of ink (most of it negative) has been spilled discussing the cinematic oeuvre of Tyler Perry, whose gospel-infused morality tales leave critics cold but do so well with audiences that they've afforded Perry the chance to be an auteur — a creative who has absolute control over every...
Earlier this year, numerous gang-related shootings took place in Denver, as well as in Aurora, raising concerns about violence levels throughout the metro area. And if such worries had ebbed in recent months, an incident yesterday afternoon has rekindled them. A teenager was hit multiple times during broad-daylight shooting in Aurora...
