We've written a number of times over the years about onetime Denver police officer Abbe Dorn. The part-time model, who once appeared on the TV program American Gladiator, was the target of a police brutality lawsuit — and while she was later cleared in that case, she subsequently was investigated for...
The case of Greeley's Kyle Moore raises questions about two controversial topics related to modern policing. The first: Should police officers shoot at moving vehicles, as they did in the January death of seventeen-year-old car thief Jessie Hernandez and an Arapahoe County incident earlier this week? The second: When is a...
The Phuket at Fuel Inspiration often comes from the unlikeliest of places. For Jaci Hernandez, it happened on a vacation to Mexico. In early June, the bar manager at Fuel Cafe left Denver for a friend’s wedding in Puerto Morales, near Cancun. The idea for her newest cocktail didn’t actually...

The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office doesn't describe a fire started at the Colorado Muslim Society as a hate crime — at least not yet. But the folks at the society certainly do, even though the woman seen in surveillance footage around the time the flames came to life wears what...
Will and Coral Frischkorn opened Cured in 2011 with two ideas in mind for their business. The first was that “we wanted a place with what we eat for dinner six nights a week,” says Will. The second was simply this: “Passion.” Four years later, those two ideas have produced...
New York has often been the setting for films about heroin addicts, with titles ranging from Shirley Clarke’s cinéma-vérité-tweaking The Connection (1961) to Slava Tsukerman’s new-wave cult classic Liquid Sky (1982) mining the drama of smack freaks tying off, shooting up and nodding out. But Josh and Benny Safdie’s tough,...
